Have these in reserve for quick meals and satisfying snacks......
Vegan Egg-free Noodles |
Available in Chinatowns but basic noodles in most supermarkets.
- Extra eggs make quick canapes (see Tuna Devilled Eggs), filled omelettes and quiches
- Inexpensive bags of apples or pears turn into terrific crumbles with just flour, fat and sugar
- Pineapple, however ripe they are, make wonderful cakes, fruit sauces for ice cream, fruit salads or on their own; prices now are excellent
- Ditto: Pomelo, now in many supermarkets but best out of Chinatowns
- Rice cooked according to packet instructions (or see Foolproof Brown Rice) can be made in advance. Cool by spreading out on a large tray, leave an hour, refrigerate. Use within 3 days OR freeze in family size portions; defrost overnight before needed
- Pasta, cooked, drained, cooled and sprinkled with olive oil to prevent clumping, will keep well, covered, in the fridge for 3-4 days (incl cooking day)
- Small sachets of mixed spices reflecting exotic cuisines will instantly pep up cooked potatoes and veg plus stews and casseroles
- A big bowl of fresh fruit, permanently replaced, will reduce overindulgence in sugar
- Plenty of flour, sugar & butter plus baking powder for when tweenagers and older get the hungries: hot breads like waffles, pancakes, instant bagels and fluffy breakfast buns are so easy, older kids can make them
- Baking potatoes, bacon, cheese, yoghurt & mayo for low-fat Double Baked (Loaded) Potatoes -- more than a snack not quite a meal
- Onions, carrots and celery: the foundation for any soup with raw or cooked veg (or both)
