I love cooking, and I love getting ideas for dinner, so i thought I'd start this topic as I (sadly) don't have a crockpot  I'd love to hear what everyone else is having.
Tonight I'm making fish and chips using this recipe: http://www.healthyfood.co.nz/recipes/2005/july/how-to-cook-crumbed-fried-fish-and-chips It worked out to be super cheap, as there are only 2 of us. Hopefully it turns out!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ooo good idea, as this was the kinda topic I was looking for earlier!
We just had stretched sausages.. 4 Sausages 2 apples 2onions 2tbsp brown sugar 2tbsp wine vineagar 1tbsp of sweet chilli sauce Brown onions slowly in as little oil as possible. While onion browns skin sausages under cold tap and roll into several small balls. Fry these in seperate pan. Core and peel apples and cut into slices/ squares whatever you prefer and add to onions. Lightly brown the apples then add brown sugar and vineagar and mix. (To make more sauce add 1/2 up water/wine/stock and cornflour) Once sausages are cooked through, drain off excess fat and add to other pan. Stir through the tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce before serving on rice/ noodles or pasta. Its also really nice on a slice of bread LOL! So yummy! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Stir in sifted flour, salt and pepper. Mix well. Pour into greased quiche dish and bake 30mins at 190'c.

It was a quick and easy dinner for us tonight. The kids has fish fingers and oven fries with salad. I had sushi which I made last night and DH took doritos, taco mince (also made last night), salsa, sour cream and cheese to work so he could make nachos. I'm currently making some tomato sauce and pasta to go with the lamb meatballs I made earlier for DH to take to work for dinner tomorrow night but I have no idea what I'm going to feed myself and the children yet. -------------

On Sunday night we had roast chicken and veges. Then on Monday night I turned the leftovers into a Chicken and Vege pie and a Chicken and Vege Quiche. We have the pie on Monday night and the quiche last night. ------------- Lindsey

Linzy, this is such an awesome idea, I'm pretty bad with using leftovers, usually my partner justs wolfs whatever is left down for a second dinner 
How did you make the pie? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My mum went to a cheese factory in the weekend and bought feta so tonight I think I'll have a salad with feta, bacon, mesculan leaves, chicken strips, GF croutons, cucumber and carrots with some lite italian dressing. DH and I can take leftovers for work tomorrow and the kids can have some as a side dish (still not sure what their main will be though -------------

Awww cute! I'm not a fan, but boyfriend is, so I add them anyway...I wonder if my bebe will love them? Could go either way I suppose! Did you end up figuring out a sauce? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I actually stole the idea from one of the other threads!
I used bought pastry for the base and top. I just cut the chicken and veges up into small cubes and mixed the gravy through it so that everything was 'wet'. There wasn't enough gravy so I also added a soup mix and maybe a cup of water. Baked it at 200C for 15min and then 180C for about 20min ------------- Lindsey

We had a stir fry with chicken, carrot, capsicum, asparagus and zucchini. I made up a sauce and we had clean plates all round  It was the most pleasant and calm family meal we have had in weeks.
I just hope I can remember what I through in to the sauce for next time -------------
