It's two days before pay day and we're living on the bread line. What we have in the pantry at the moment-

Chicken breasts
Broccoli
Carrots
Lettus
Mushrooms
A parsnip
Onions
Tomato puree
Sweet Potatoes
Green beans
Milk/butter/flour ectr

We have pasta and rice, I was thinking some sort of pasta bake using all these ingredients and freezing half for tomorrow. Sort of a pot luck. But it just seems so bland :( Any one have any good ideas? :) Been wracking my brains all day but just can't come up with something :(

    Do you have garlic/garlic powder, lemon juice and maybe eggs?

    I would make some sort of fried rice using the rice and your choice of veggies (eggs too if you have them!)

    And bake the chicken with any sort of seasoning you might have (garlic salt, lemon juice, etc..) - salt and pepper would do just as well!

    Sounds yummy to me :)

    If you have sweet potatoes left over, and butter/oil of any kind, make sweet potato gnocchi for tomorrow!

    Bake the sweets, scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add flour until you can roll the dough into logs. Bring water into a boil, cut the logs into 1 inch pieces, and boil 10-15 at a time, 2-3 minutes at a time. At the same time, heat butter/oil over medium in a pan. Once the gnocchi are done boiling, toss them in the pan for a few minutes. Season the oil how'd you like. Sage, rosemary and thyme are all good if you have them dried.
