Started my day today with breakfast pizza (cheese toasties really) for 4pp

yum the fish cakes and bang bang prawns look lovely i jus dnt like prawns or salmon!!!

im not right a fishy person if im honest! i do like haddock cod u no the normal lol

[Mrsm79]

I don't like fish or prawns so I think chicken would replace the prawns nicely but have you any alternatives to using salmon in the fish cakes, I know they wouldn't strictly be fish cakes then.

 

[SammieAnn87]

might do it wit steak...mmmmm will tihnk on it!

i might make my own fish cakes i might do haddock with something....guna get me thinkin cap on
xx

 

[teacheronww]

You could defo use tuna or haddock/cod for fish cakes. If you couldn't stand fish at all I would use mince meat - maybe turkey mince to save a few pp? As for the bang bang you could defo throw any substitute in there. I think chicken would be the best coz it's quite a lemony/ sweet taste to the sauce

 

[emmalouise82]

Must try these recipes. They sound and look delish. I love prawns mmmmm :0)

 

[teacheronww]

Yeah was very happy with them myself l loosely based them on all recipes.com dinner spinner app which is great because you can type in an ingredient and it will give you loads of recipes

 

[emmalouise82]

Yeah I've got that but not really used it. You're very good at making new things. I love doing new recipes but I'm a but lazy with it x

 

[teacheronww]

I go through phases to be honest. Have had extra time recently with being sick so been a bit more adventurous

 

[teacheronww]

Went over points again yesterday but not out at the weekend so trying to spread it over the week a bit. Have 29 overs left and well on track today. Had the most gorgeous dinner today...tried bns chips for the first time and I love them!!! They are exactly like Eddie rockets sweet potatoe fries.

Dinner total 6pp!!!
Salmon fishcakes (yesterday's recipes) 5pp
Bns chips 1pp (used a good bit of fry light)
Pickled cucumber salad 0pp

Got the cucumber salad recipe from Jamie's 15 minute meals and it is super. I hate cucumber but love pickled stuff so find it yummy

 

[lil_legs]

Food sounds lovely!! Hope your feeling better xx

 

[emmalouise82]

Yum. I had bns chips with my bolognaise again tonight. They're a godsend. I'm gonna be over this week but I don't really care at the mo haha.
