I'm on a really tight budget at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some really nice, really cheap recipes?

a really cheap dessert is maltese bread pudding.
It uses stale bread, so just save in the freezer till you've got enough

400 g. sugar
350 g. margerine
3 eggs
1 grated rind of one lemon ( or orange and lemon)
2 tablespoons chocolate powder ( cocoa powder)
1/4 cup. currants or sultanas
glaced cherries
1/4 cup dates (optional) cut into small pieces ( or just use 1/2 cup mixed fruit)
some walnuts or almonds (roasted and cut into small pieces)
one small glass brandy or rum (optional)

Soak bread in water for two hours until soft, drain bread properly Add margerine and sugar. Mix well. Beat eggs and add to the mixture. Add the other ingredients. Put mixture in a container well greased and cook in a moderate oven for about an hour (Till top is brown and crispy).
Really lovely chocolatey flavour, great with custard and cheap!
