It's been 5 weeks since payday and another week to go..... the cupboard is literally bare, a few cans of soup, some pasta & noodles...oh a a jar of peanut butter!
There is a packs of frozen meat in the freezer, today I have taken out some chicken, its in the slow cooker with half a bag of frozen casserole mix (carrots, swede, leeks & onion) I found when routing around in the freezer, along with the last of the fresh carrots & a few potato's, tin of kidney beans, tin of tomato's and some stock. Not the most exciting but will make do for the next 2 days.
...so I am looking for very low cost, but also low calorie & healthy meal ideas for the next few days, I have some more chicken pieces, pork loin chops & a pack of sandwich steak in the freezer...fridge currently contains nothing but milk, I have no more than about £7 to spend on additional ingredients until Friday!

Here is a stew that uses peanut butter and chicken that a lot of people seem to rave about. I haven't tried it but it sounds good.

Also, the site AllRecipes.com has a search feature where you can input the ingredients you have on hand and they suggest recipes. Each recipe is user rated, so I have found it to be fairly reliable.0 -
You could use the noodles, pork and peanut butter in a dish similar to these:

You might not have all the ingredients, and need to toss in whatever frozen veggies you have on hand.0 -
