Tuna pie
2 cups grated tasty cheese
425g tin tuna
1/4 cup chopped onions
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1tbl lemon juice
1 cup crushed savoury biscuits (I use jatz or sometimes rice crackers)
chopped parsley.
Mix all ingredients together well and bake in a pie dish for about 45 minutes at 180C.

We don't like tuna so i make this recipe (which is one of my mum's) with tinned salmon.

We do a yummy tuna and sweet potato cake (fishcake patties) Easy, cheap and kid friendly served with beans or any other vege...

I'm trying a turkeyloaf tonight, woollies has turkey mince on special for $3.99 500gms so I'm going to try it and I'll let you all know It will cost me $7.00 to make a dinner for 4 including the mash potatos and steamed carrots to go with the meatloaf.

ALSO.... going to try some lentil patties this week, sound heaps like Ruth's chick pea patties

In Safeway and Coles you can get little skinless sausages called cevape. They're from my background (Serbian) and they are scrumptious. You just grill them or you can put them in the oven, BBQ whatever really (except for boiling them eeew! he!) I usually slice up an onion and some cabbage and fry it up on the stove with some seasoning and with some fresh long rolls, whala ! Dinner for under $10 bucks !

I forgot to say that the turkey loaf went off!!! We eat turkey burgers regularly now. But at our new house, our coles doesn't have turkey mince, so I'll have to find some.

I need some more ideas!

I get emails from a site called All recipes Australia New Zealand which has a lot of ideas for meals and the one I just got has ideas for cheap meals.

Christy, ask your local Coles if they can get Turkey mince in.

I am making one of the recipes tonight that was in the Coles catalogue a few weeks back called Chicken Potato Pie.
