Couple of recipes

I've been using up odds and ends recently and came up with these:
Veg & cheese soup
Carrots
Onion
Celery
Potato
Swede
Leftover lumps of Camembert
Stock
Bung in crockpot and leave all day; whizz until smooth. The Camembert gives almost a cauliflower taste; I used about a 1/4 round to about 1.5 pints of liquid.
Emergency risotto
Whatever you've got. I melted butter and oil and fried a chopped onion. Stirred in arborio rice, added stock, white wine, frozen peas and frozen green beans. Cooked down (about 30 minutes) until rice was soft and liquid evaporated. Stirred in Parmesan.
Recipes got the thumbs up from DH who hates root veg, wine and Parmesan.

The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

I will add mine from last night:
Easy Veggie Carbonara
Fried a chopped onion and some chopped mushrooms leftover from weekend.
Grilled 4 slices veggie bacon from the freezer then chopped and added to onion and mushroom mix
Stirred in half a pot of low fat creme fraiche leftover from dinner party pudding at the weekend.
Dumped in about 2 teaspoons of paprika.
Stirred in to cooked pasta
It was gorgeous and a great way to use up some leftovers from the fridge. Otherwise the creme fraiche would have been binned probablyJan GC: £202.65/£450 (as of 4-1-12)
