I've started cooking some red lentils in some beef stock, adding them and some breakcrumbs to mince meat to pad the meat out a bit (and hide some extra veg in the meat). With meatballs you cant even tell the difference. What are some of your hacks/tips/tricks?

Lately, I look up the woolies and Coles catalogue and see what veggies are on special. Then I ask chatGPT for meal ideas featuring those veggies.

This week was rattatouie risotto because courgettes were cheap, and last week was kumara and black bean chilly.
