Does anyone make Apricot Chicken using chicken wings, French Onion Soup Mix and Apricot Nectar? Yesterday, I made a potato bake using a tin of creamed corn, a tin of Carnation Light and Creamy, a bacon stock cube and of course, spuds. We have a surplus of spuds at the moment so I'm looking for ideas and potato bake is a lovely, warm comfort food for these cold days and nights.
I had the big idea of making another bake using spuds, the Carnation milk and a pkt of French Onion Soup mix...or maybe half a pkt. Do you think this will work?....oh yeah, I topped yesterdays with grated light cheese as well.

Apricot nectar is apricot juice. I guess you could use a tin of apricot halves in natural juice and put them in the blender to make a puree, or use them even as is.
I love the sound of your beano! I'm a big fan of baked beans and they are very nutitious...you've won me with that one wee. xx.

That sounds really good and I think I am going to try that. It sounds almost like a potatoe soup flavore, with less work, LOL.

Yes, mummymo, it is too easy to do and nourishing. I spoke to the young lad at the checkout yesterday and he said his mum does hers with minced beef, panfried with veges, you could use maybe diced tinned tomatoes to make it moist, then she layers it with the spud mix. Doesn't that sound great?

What's going on here...I just responded to a discussion about steaks and how did one like them cooked, and now my tongue is hanging out for a nice juicy steak...and then this discussion and now I'm longing for any kind of potato bake...this place is getting to be fattening! LOL Surre good thing one doesn't gain weight just by reading about food..hehe
I forgot --where you are it's winter...now for ideas about spuds...how about a nice potato au gratin, scalloped potatoes...hey you could even make a nice potato soup--all of those I love to make..
