Don't Throw Food Away Challenge

couldsavemore_2

I'm going to do the same as MummyEm I NEED to do this challenge I have already thrown away a bowl of party food left over from NYE and veg peelings this morning. I have however made hm soup so 1 brownie point:rotfl:

we throw lots away we dont do very good portion sizes when cooking and serving up also didn't know about keeping veg peelings amongst many things.

so will follow this challenge and report my mishaps and ask advice through January and will fully join in in February if thats ok.

will go through last years thread and see what I can learnlearn

will pop back later .

Any ideas what I can do with some leftover sauce from a chicken casserole? There is no chicken and very little veg in it so basically it is red wine, stock and butter.

Personally I'd just freeze it until I next had some leftover meat/mushrooms/onions or whatever then mix it up and have with some rice or potatoes

Morning or is afternoon already! I'm looking for some tips to use up creamed sweetcorn, I made a batch of fritters for my DS and it was an ingredient. I am not a fan of sweetcorn so need a recipe suitable for a little one that can be frozen. Thanks in advance

really proud of my self. made 7 portions of soup from veg that was past best. made oat biscuits from store cupboard, made a curry which with rice made the three meals we needed ( smaller portions than normal) and enough for 2 for the freezer. normally we would have used all of it and thrown some away. the rice we measured, it made a tad to much but we ate it all but I will go for slightly smaller portion next time.

so apart from what i threw away this morning before reading this thread nothing else has been wasted today.

thank you for the motivation . still reading previous posts

If it has been frozen all that time, and not defrosted and refrozen, I would cook it up and eat it. Worst case scenario it will have less taste than fresh, but you will presumably cook it with other things to make a bolognese or something anyway.
