Had a tummy bug all last week so have not used up much from my stores and bought a couple of things:o like a slow cooker sauce mix to make with sausages as I really haven't enjoyed the recipe I normally make with leeks the last couple of times I have made it. I have updated my list back on page 179 to keep track.

2 lamb steaks defrosted and will be making sunday lunch tonight as neither of us felt like it yesterday. This will use up some of the freh veg too and a quorn fillet or a couple of sausages.

I have attempted to feeze milk today for the first time so I hope it doesn't leak all over the freezer:eek:

I will need to pop out today to get fruit and dishwasher salt but will not be buying anything else. Money is shorter than expected this month so we really need to make as much use of the stores as possible.

morning I have made a list of all in my cupboards/freezers/fridges/green baskets (overflow) so will hope to use all of this up and save some money this month, I just seem to keep buying more and more of things while I already have tons of it in the cupboards.

I have too much milk at the moment any ideas how to use it only rissoto rice and white rice no pudding rice....loads of other bits though any ideas?

well guys i was too tired last night so did finger food lol but tonight im going to have a go! Can yu just chop all the veg, brown sausages and stick it in a casserole dish with just cider?

Would that cook ok, i rather fancy a "sticky" dish tonight if that makes sense? x

Just had a rummage in the fridge to find inspiration for tomorrow night's dinner and discovered:
3 parsnips
2 carrots
2 peppers
1 leek
bunch of spring onions
couple of onions
bag of tomatoes
some new potatoes
pack of shiitake mushrooms.

Am going away Wednesday so I really need to use all of this up, I hate throwing food away. I do also have some staples ie cheese, eggs and most of the usual cupboard stuff. As I'm going away it needs to be cooked and either eaten all tomorrow (including poss OH having leftovers for lunch on Wednesday) or freezable.

Big, big hugs to anyone who could throw any ideas my way!!

Lots of soup and stew for the freezer! Could roast some veggies to freeze, most seem to reheat well.
I'd use the bag of tomatoes and cheese to make pizza maybe some egg fried rice with mushrooms and spring onions and peppers?

I'd freeze almost all of it and deal with it when you get back in stews, soups, etc. I put frozen veg in my slow cooker and it always comes out fine!

id do a parsnip soup using the snips + potatoes for freezer pretty simple

use the tomatoes to make pizza topping or pasta sauce for freezer quick & easy

and stirfry the spring onions,shitake leeks and peppers for tea tomorrow veggie stirfry with some rice yum!

just a few thoughts
