bumping ~ I make the homemade tortilla's aswell cyber.Put in the usual salad stuff but the hot mixture is normally chili beans with onion and grated up anything-I-can-get-my-hands-on- type veges.Add the grated cheese and the teenagers don't know the difference (they're culinary philistines anyway ha!)

NACHOS. C&P from Ruby19 oil, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic crushed, 1 tin chili beans, 1 tin mexican toms, 1 tsp cumin, 1tsp coriander, 1 tsp oregano. saute the onion and garlic until soft, add the spices cook gently for 1 min add chilli beans & half tin toms, mix well and simmer gently for 20 min, roughly mash so some of the beans are still whole. You can add fresh coriander. Use this on top of corn chips, or use in tortillas, lay the tortillas in single layer, spread with remaining mexican toms sprinkle with cheese and pop into oven until cheese has melted and golden.
Also great for people on a tight budget. Please note that ground beef is mince. Hope this helps:)

Mushroom & leek risotto. C&P from Twinsforus. This would feed 4 adults. half a leek, quartered lengthwise then sliced thinly. 5-6 mushrooms sliced. 1-2 cloves garlic 1 cup rice olive oil 4 cups chicken or VEGETABLE stock. ( I use homemade chicken stock if I have any or 2 BISTO cubes in 4c hot water) frozen peas butter parmesan cheese Heat oil, gently cook garlic then add leek, cook, stirring until softened. Add rice fry until rice is translucent, throw in mushrooms cook for 1 minute then start adding stock one soup ladle at a time (stir until stock absorbed then add next one)Add peas after half the stock has been added. Once rice is cooked and stock is all absorbed, turn off the heat, add a good dollop of butter, handful of finely grated parmesan cheese and some chopped parsley if you have any. (non vege option: I also add leftover roast chicken to this if I have any.) This definitely costs under $10!

cheats vege lasange C&P from nunesy cheats vege lasagne I had a lot of must-use-quickly veges and some lasagne sheets so I just layered brocolli, eggplant slices, and capsicum slices with Italian chopped tomatoes and a few extra herbs, and layers of lasagne sheets. Then topped it with a small amount of bechamel sauce and some grated cheese. YUM and VERY easy. Have made it since with different flavours of tinned tomatoes - all good!

Vege lasange from Carolyn20 This method is quite fast to prepare I make this at least once a month. In frypan saute chopped onion/garlic/courgette(2)/mush- rooms. In a bowl mix together one large jar of pasta sauce (like Five Brothers etc) and 500gm tub of cottage cheese. Once veg sauteed add this to the cottage cheese mix. If I happen to have cream cheese I add some blobs for a more richer texture. I use fresh lasagne sheets and layer using three sheets. For topping melt 1-2T butter, mix through 1 cup breadcrums and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Sprinkle over top and cook for 30 mins on 200c. You can add spinach but to save myself complaints from my children I often leave it out.

continued. Cook until light golden. Mix in the Mexican seasoning then add tomatoes, stock, tomato paste, lentils and sugar.Bring to the boil and stir, then reduce temperature and simmer for 45mins. Add chopped fresh herbs & garnish with a dollop of sour cream. MEXICAN SEASONING: 1 heaped tbsp ground cumin, 2tsp sugar, 1tsp salt, 1tsp oregano, 1tbsp chilli pwder or flakes. I've made this soup heaps of times, it is really tasty (has a spicy kick), have never put the sour cream in as yet.

note to the above; switch beef stock for green herb stock or vegetable stock. But I'm sure you clever darlings would've figured that one out.

Pour in the wine, 150ml water and the tomatoes, then sprinkle in the stock cubes and simmer for 10 mins. Add the lentils,carrots still have a bit of bite and the lentils are pulpy. Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes for 15 mins until tender, drain well, then mash with the butter and season to taste. Pile the lentil mixture into a pie dish, spoon the mash on top, then sprinkle over the cheese and remaining thyme. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cook for 20 mins
