    help with dinner tonight???

    Hey,

    I'm running out of ideas & food! I'm hoping anyone here can suggest some dinner ideas for me. I have these things in the fridge/cupboard:
    eggs
    mushrooms
    capsicum
    cheese
    pasta
    rice

    I do not have: onions, cream, milk (not enough to cook with), any meats, any pasta sauces or passata Help?

    hmmm..
    do you have any garlic?
    you could saute the mushrooms in some butter/olive oil with some garlic and toss it through the pasta, maybe throw in some parsley if you have any and sprinlke with cheese. plain but yum.
    you could make a kinda fried rice with the egg, mushroom and capsicum, throw in some soy sauce or something.. or what about just eggs on toast with sauted mushrooms..
    thats all i can think of at the moment, will come back if i think of anything else.

    Don't forget cooking by numbers (google it) it's a great site that tells you what to cook based on what you've got And even better is Supercook.

    thanks for the tip on cooking by numbers, I'll have to use it next time!

    I ended up calling my sister & got a fantastic mushroom risotto recipe, usually my risottos are disaster, but this one was awesome! yay! She has the 4 ingredients app on her phone

    sorry this is a bit late! But for next time you are running low and have those ingredients handy:

    Stuffed mushrooms
    omelets
    rissotos
    Veg pasta bake with a cheese sauce

    I didnt know they had a 4 ingredients app - off to itunes!
