Hubby has been asking for home baked scones recently - but I think he deserves something 'special' (hee hee!)

stale bread
 

break up the bread and put on a heat proof plate. cover with milk and then put loads of chedder cheese on,grill on low heat until cheese has melted,brought up on this manchester diet. loads more recipes if any ones interested,in olden day ideas.

Always interested in old recipes. Although our bookshelves are groaning with the weight of too many cookbooks I still rely very heavily on my mother's old reliables, so tasty, and they always work!! Would like to see more frugal recipes and food 'stretchers' please. Food is food, and I always say you don't need fancy ingredients. I was in the supermarket today and they had kumquats and limequats, from Israel, and I just knew (instinctively) I could live without them!! :)

hard bread
 

Every bit of waste food is used or recycled in our house, best tip try not to make it in first place, dont make so much you can't use, if there are left overs dont go to the bin first, if more people used their wisdom and imagination our waste would be reduced overnight. Make, breadcrumbs, bread and butter pudding, french toast, crutons for soup & salads, wet bread for birds or crumb and mix with old cooking fat for bird fat balls.

Another shameless plug sorry

ALL veg peelings,potatoes,carrots parsnips etc etc can be made into
