    Banana Lovers
    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    You could make stroganoff with some of the mushrooms, plus a veggie casserole/curry with some of the root veggies; I make a veg and bean bake with normal baked beans cooked with saut!ed veg (carrots, celery, leeks, peppers are all good) then top with breadcrumbs and oven bake til golden, which freezes well. Have you looked at the recipes on https://www.riverford.co.uk?

    You've had some fantastic suggestions here :) I just came in to point out that, if you don't get round to freezing any of it, Asda have 16 toilet rolls for £3 :A

    Could you tell us exactly what there is?
    I'd love all that fruit and veg. I'm with blueberrypie suggestion send it to me :p . Would last me about a week on my own :o . I go through a lot of fruit and veg.

    The big mushrooms could be stuffed with tomatoes, peppers, couscous etc. very nice.
    Shepherds pie, vegetable chilli, vegetable curry, salads, sweet and sour vegetables, stir fried vegetables etc! So many choices :rotfl: .

    All the fruit could be cut up and frozen. Smoothies are a great way of getting fruit into the diet.
    I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy :D
