Morning all.
Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for. Based initially on the fresh produce that would be wasted if it is not…

Good morning, just starting off.
The all new using what you have from your Freezer, Cupboard or Shed (Barn)
It is probably time to have a new thread for this. What do you have in your freezer? In your cupboard/shed? Do you have a veg patch or allotment? What did you manage to store, preserve or freeze? I, myself, like to cook following a recipe, but love to add veg from my allotment!

Good morning everyone.
Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…
What are you making for dinner?
There were problems with the original thread in that it disappeared and could not be reinstated. So a new thread was created and we all started again, unfortunately that thread also seems to have joined it's predecessor. So here's a new one. We need to hear about Suki's lamb casserole and Island Maid is back from Amsterdam…
