WP - sounds like you have a LOT of stuff! Once it's used will you keep less in stock?
Nothing in/out of freezer.
Breakfast - banana (workmen here early so missed getting in kitchen first..)
Lunch - toast and hm jam and last bit of cake - was quite hungry by then and needed sugar hit
Dinner - pearl barley and paella rice 'risotto' with courgettes again. I could only access half the hob so had to be something easy!
I have rubble in my cupboards and thick dust on everything, all needs to come out and be washed
Amongst all that I ran out of bread so got 2 loaves of fruit bread rising at the moment - finished off 1 bag of vine fruit and 1 pot of peel. Added in some bran/linseed - putting it in all baking now to make sure I use it.0 -
I like to keep a good stock of Food you never know when disaster will strike but maybe just half the amount I have.I buy when a good deal and on offer of things we like.Weight loss challenge 66lb to go /59lb's lost

In to freezer - bag of Self Raising Flour.
Out of freezer - bag of Plain Flour + HM Quiche + Pastie.
Had a low spend week - great - need to spend nearly £12 on a tin of undercoat - Monday. I use my LO GC budget for such extras.
For dinner we had HM wedges + sausage roll, poached egg + roasted veggies.
I also made an All in One Cake - filling of chocolate spread. The filling was stiff so I added some icing sugar + milk.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Breakfast - toasted hm bread (end of loaf) and jam & OJ
Lunch - toasted hm fruit bread, pear, banana, apple, biscuits
Dinner - pesto pasta with HG french beans
In freezer - last night, 1 hm fruit bread
Got some HG dried borlotti beans soaking overnight (used up 1 jar) - going to try the pesto bean burgers recipe before I run out of pesto.. recipe requires 50g breadcrumbs but I have no normal bread, anyone know if 50g flour would work instead??0 -
I've never bothered putting breadcrumbs or flour in when I've made beanburgers, although they do tend to fall apart a bit when I cook them!
If you think it needs something in then I would have thought some flour would be fine.
