Oh I'm desperately in need of some quick ideas!

I stuffed up the dates for a baby dedication that I'm going to and thought it was next Sunday when in fact it's TOMORROW!

I'm suppose to bring a hot dish but can't think of what to make.
Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated as I have to go whip it up tonight :o.

Thanks in advance!

curry lamb/beef/chicken

Stuffed cannelloni
Singapore noodles (you could cheat and buy it from a chinese restaurant on the way tomorrow:D)

Lol - Oh how I'd just LOVE to cheat funnyfarm however I seriously doubt the chinese restaurant will be open at the time I need to get down there.

Just had a search through the pantry and as I feared it's slim pickins.
Looks like a warm, creamy, luciously fattening - er, I mean tasty potato bake might be on the cards! :laughing:

Hmm, I do however have a lot of pastry in the freezer, might go have a look-see at what I have in the fridge. Might be able to whip up some yummy pasties!


Mmmm Jem I love quiche - but I've never made it before in my life!!! Got a recipe for me? I have some stuff I can add and I know quiche is quick and easy!

Anna, I make quiche all the time.

Its basic (and NOT non-fat :o) but its easy.

I use some shortcrust pastry.

3 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 carton of cream

whisk it all together.

I tip the creamy mixture in the pastry along with some shredded/diced ham, grated cheese and garlic.

Pop it in the oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes (I have a fan-forced electric oven) at 180, so your oven may be different.

You can tell when it is set though :thumbsup:

Spinach and feta pie - or you could use any vege or meat....

fry an onion beat 4 eggs and a cup of cream or milk, add some seasoning and a cup of cheese (feta or whatever you have).

Line a tray with a sheet of puff pastry, mix in the veges and pour. bake and voila!

Mmmmm yum girls!
Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have skipped dinner, now I'm all hungry! :(

Quiche is looking good - that way it can be served cold if there's no room in the oven for reheating :thumbsup:


Oh and ETA I think I don't cook quiche because of DH - he's a real man :rolleyes:. Stuff him - spinich & fetta quiche is to die for and will be on the menu this week! ;)
