Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!

Just been catching up as I had forgotten about this thread (blame my ME brain fog) Just saved some apple peel and cores (after making up some apple pie filling/stewed apples, by simmering the cores and peel until very soft, straining into a jug for some apple juice and them mashing the rest through sieve for some apple sauce. Also used up 3 stale cherry buns by making up a trifle.

Now to start off a pot of soup so I can use up the leftover carrots and beans in the fridge, will add some ancient sweet potatoes to thicken it up.

If potato peels are good you can brush them with olive oil and bake in the oven, serve with a dip of some kind as an appetiser.

Any ideas for some leftover cocktail sausages? (bought for a picnic but I forgot to take them out of the fridge!:o)

Good luck with the challenge! I shall be popping in to get ideas!

Oh no......just discovered out of date half carton of yoghurt in back of fridge. Could make scones with it, but am trying to cut down on eating baked stuff for a month or two so I can get in my summer clothes before autumn comes. Think it is destined for the bin!

I used left over roast chicken to make a lovely chicken and veg curry and made the sauce using just what I had. Spices, half a tub of cream cheese, squeeze of tomatoe puree and some soya milk and milk, stock and a splash of ginger wine. Lovely!

left over cocktail sausages you could turn into sausage rolls with pastry, sausage casserole or cowboy pie (which is fried sausages, onions, mushrooms and baked beans topped with mash sprinkled with grated cheese and oven baked).


well we had on sunday a sweet and smoky chicken from marks spencer deal, then had it mon with salad then it was deboned and little bits left made one sandwich for husbands lunch then the rest had bacon and mushrooms added and turned into a pie which we had with mash last night and still enough left for dinner tonight.

With the cocktail sausages, I would make mini toad in the hole.
My grandchildren love them.

Just rescued an open pack of flour tortillas from the bread bin that were starting to go crispy on the edges, they are now in the process of being turned into chicken enchiladas with a smoky tomato sauce :0)

I just made a Balti...I used what was left in the chiller;
1 cougette
1 Green pepper
1 Carott
4 slightly dry mushrooms
1 1/2 onions
2 tomatos
from the fridge;
4 lamb meatball & green pepper skewers that I cooked up yesterday
4 chicken strips I defrosted for the curry
From the freezer;
cupful of sweetcorn & peas.

Just cooked it up with a jar of Balti curry sauce from Tesco's value brands (69p)
After the portion I've just scoffed for tea,I think I've enough for another three meals!!!

Happy days!!!
Opps..at the next beep,the time will be beer o'clock precisely..........

I'm hating onions at the moment, really really hating them. I have 2 that need using up. What can I make with onions that wont taste in the slightest bit oniony? Or if that's asking too much, what doesn't taste very oniony?
