One reply here to a few of the postings since I posted first in this thread, to save multi posts/boredom of reading lol

Ooh yes! Can't beat a lovely toasted sarnie, for sure. The Panini recipe is for a "posh" toastie (to HTG)

TY Andy - hope others like it too and contribute - after all, everyone has to eat, and cook food, sometimes, too.
I only ever eat fish fingers in a sarnie, with either ketchup or tartar sauce - YUMMY!

Dotcom - I love grated cheese on chips! (especially when chips with cheese & ketchup in a sarnie lol)
The aubergine, toms & cheese dish sounds delicious and I will try that soon, thanks for the recipe (and also for my HB greeting from you on another thread - had a quiet one, home with my sons, watching movies ;o) TY - mentioned it here to save bringing up that thread, as now is past)


Another recipe here, that maybe some could put to good use (its vegetarian, cheap, filling and makes your mouth water whilst cooking):-


Great for Lunch OR Dinner - POTATO BAKE

900g (2lb) Potatoes
450g (1lb) Leeks
450g (1lb) Courgettes
2 cloves of Garlic
300ml (? pint) Vegetable Stock
225g (8oz) Button Mushrooms
1 large Onion
160g (6oz) Cheddar Cheese grated
50g (2oz) Butter
25g (1oz) Plain Flour
3 tbsp Milk
2 tsp Paprika

Cut the potato into cubes, slice the leeks, onion and courgettes.
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain and mash with the milk, half the cheese and half the butter.
Heat the remaining butter in a large pan and fry the leeks and onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the courgettes, mushrooms and paprika and fry for a further 2 minutes. Add the (crushed) garlic and fry for a further 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour, then slowly add the stock and bring to the boil, stirring continuously.
Cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 200?C; 400?F: Gas 6.
Spoon the vegetable mixture into an ovenproof dish and cover with the potato mixture, sprinkling with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is crisp and golden brown.



You can also make a potato bake, with some other (vegetables of your choice) ingredients and instead of the mashed potato, after par-boiling and cooling the potatoes a bit, slice them and use in layers, alternately, with chopped tomatoes, onions (and, if wanted, garlic) herbs (or other spices) cheese sauce (or grated cheese or mozzarella chunks)

MMmmm! Especially nice with GOOD crusty bread and butter. Enjoy!
