Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

dannie

Yesterday, used up a previously made garlic bread portion which I combined with a cheese topping. Also, last of some reduced price "old" lettuce used up. Just one more garlic bread left now.

Today my online (food) grocery arrives. Selecting was a difficult task. Checked through present "stocks", in order to think of my next approach, to make progress in using up what I still have.

In: large bag chopped tomatoes, 2 bags whole tomatoes, roast chicken breast
Out: Dhal, spinach & naan
Used up: cheese spread, uneaten remains of a roast chicken leg from last night

My (food) grocery order arrived complete. I do not think it will slow down using present "stocks". Yesterday, I finished the last recipe of my mini-challenge to use some selected items from a freezer drawer. I have now set aside more items to use up first which are a mixture of savoury and sweet.

FrugalWeirdo83 - Not sure I remember if anybody mentioned that recipe on this challenge?

caronc

In: chicken stock
Out: pork steak, mash
Used up: button mushrooms, last (probably though they are flowering again!) picking of broad beans from the garden

Sorry to hear that, I'm a great believer in it always being wise to a food stash in case of the unexpected. Mine just needs reined in a bit. Hope you get another job soon.

Today
In: passatta
Out: mini-burgers, spaghetti

caronc

In: meatballs & sauce, frozen spinach, veg bouillon powder
Out: breaded haddock, oven chips, peas & broad beans

Since last Wednesday, have been consistently using up the savoury and sweet items from those that I had selected as a priority. All the savoury have now gone. Weekend shopping was just 250gr "yellow sticker" mushrooms.
