hiya everyone and happy new year to you all

my freezer in the garage went bang last night!!! ( was stocked to the brim:mad: )

fitted most of it in my mums freezer in her garage

but, i have left with one tray of mince and a bag of seven chicken breast now deforsted

and i am at a loss what to do with them, one meal we can have tomorrow and one i can freeze, when i take a loaf of bread out as i am on a budget i cant afford to waste them, i have well stocked cupboards and veggies in

any help would be much appreciated please:D

also while i am picking everyones brains, hubby has come home with a tray of 12 tins of 'spam' spam and a tray of 12 tins of mackerel in tomato sauce - any ideas for these please, other than putting them in sandwiches, dont want to waste them or give them to the cats and dogs but dont know what to do with them

fanx everyone x x x

You could make spam fritters, but I love grilled mackerel in tom sauce on toast!

Have you got any tins/jars of curry sauce to make chicken curry and then give some to your mum to put into her freezer?

Have a look at www.spam-uk.com.
Hysterically funny selection of recipes you just gotta try with all that Spam, included a Greek style pastry with spinach and feta, Deep-Spam Pizza, Spam Tempura (posh spam fritter!), Sweet and Sour Spam, and my favourite sounding one Spamish Rice, a twist on paella!
I kid you not, but actually some of them are probably quite tasty!

Have you got a slow cooker?

I would put some in there without any sauce, perhaps put them in a dish with a bit of water around the dish so that they don't get too dry.

I do this sometimes and use them for sandwiches.

You could also refreeze them and take the out and defrost to use for sarnies (if your mum has the room that is).
