I listened to Steve complaing about the kitchen today, and looked in the cupboards and decided its time we used up some ingredients.
We have 5 packets of flour, two packets of millet, enough pollenta to fill the bath, corn flakes asha has gone off, and enough plain chocolate to fill the River Seiont, twice.
We also have a mountain of custard powder, and othe items in, which to be honest I am fed up of storeing.
Money is failry tight at the moment, so we have decided once more on Sunday we are going to do a food plan for the next two weeks.. doing it in two week schedules seems to work better, as you can do deals over two week periods better.. ie tescos 2 chickens for £5 seems far easier if you have 14 days to eat them in rather than 7. especially if each chicken makes two meals!
So the plan so far? I made some polenta up tonight so that can be eaten with some burgers tomorrow, and never know we might manage to get rid of the falafal mix as part of the roast dinner as well useing it as stuffing! Pancakes, some kind of pastry.. probably chicken pie, as they went down well last week.
If anyone has an idea for loads of corn crisp breads do let me know!
We also have some sausage meat in so might try some sausage rolls, corn flake cakes and millet Millet Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups Millet Flour (I will be useing normal flour here)
1/2 cup Millet Flakes
1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar (nah gluten free baking soda here as well!)
1 medium apple, peeled and grated1
1/2 cups milk (soya milk for us)
1 or 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (Honey - Maple syrup = yuck!)
Method
Mix all dry ingredients together and the grated apple. Add milk and honey slowly until right consistency. Spoon into lightly greases muffin trays and bake in moderate oven until firm to touch - approx 20 - 30 minutes.
Oh well will see.. but the idea sounds interesting.. and my use up some of that millet!
