Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

abby1234519

Has anyone successfuly frozen HM Yorkie puds? I've been looking through the neglected sausages drawer (I have a freezer drawer for sausages yes, yes I know) and am trying to formulate a Sunday dinner schedule. I've managed 3 weeks without buying food (apart from milk etc) and really don't want to buy Yorkshires.

Soworried - the cauliflower rice, do you grate and microwave. Would love to have some of that in freezer, does it defrost well. Thanks.

Out of fridge I, made some broccoli & potato soup, which I have now frozen. One pack of veggie mince out of freezer, made with onions & carrots, out of stores.

Yes, just grate and open freeze on a baking sheet then bag it up. Fries in minutes and makes lovely low calorie side dish. Faux egg fried rice is one of my favourites

I make loads of it every time the super 6 has cauliflower on or I find them yellow sticker.

The rest of this week should see me use the last tin of chickpeas,

I couldn't cope with that, I get anxiety if I have less than 4 tins of cooked ones and a 1kg of dried

I suggested gooseberry fool - it's so delicious. I saw a gooseberry pie recently and thought of you lot.

Lol so worried, well the chickpeas are safe for now. Mum wants me to help get their house ready for the holiday makers tomorrow after work, and she's offered fish and chips for tea for all my help. So no cooking for us tomorrow. Chickpeas are staying in the cupboard and I think our eat out budget will stay in tact for the month.

Out today was the last smidge of plain flour (and started a fresh pack), a tin of tuna, I used some sweet corn and dented the pasta surplus.

Abby I've never frozen yorkie puds, I have reheated from the fridge using my air fryer and it worked really well.

Caronic, I got down to one tin of tinned tomatoes, I'm currently at two. Muahahaha living dangerously over here! Just working out February's meals to see what is needed to buy in so I can do a bulk of tins etc. I'm pretty pleased with how we've been running down and shifting the stuff that we're not that keen on that's been loitering too long. Funnily enough I've had two people tell me I look like I've lost weight recently, I've not been trying to and no idea if I have or not (scales are never kind), but I wonder if it's from running down the stores.

Yay. Nothing added to freezer today. Lovely sauce to go with the chicken breasts I took out last night.

Taken out for tomorrow:

Soup x 2 ( 1 lunch tomorrow, one Thursday)
Burgers x 2 (will do with chips from freezer) after running club

Shouldn't be adding anything.

Now there could be a new best selling diet idea you should patent it quickly LOL that said I do use loads of tinned toms so don't mind having them in stock in abundance it's just all the other stuff I need to get a grip on.........

Not homemade wine as such but my friend made this 2 years ago and it was lovely http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-creme-de-cassis-liqueur-183432

Thanks Caronc for the idea above, I've just looked at it and it looks doable now as I'm sure I have some frozen blackcurrents somewhere at the bottom of the freezer plus everything else. I was supposed to be making cakes and biscuits tonight but that can wait.:)
