    I’m living the idea of the 10 item mini challenge!

    Hoping to have time to make jam soon, that will use up lots of random fruit

    Has anyone made jam in the slow cooker ?

    Used up the maple syrup today, and 'sort of' used up the tahini (I had to throw it away as it had gone mouldy)

    Since 15/11/17, I selected the following to use up for my next mini challenge:-

    2 small bags of salmon.
    2.5 portions burgers.
    4 small flatbreads.
    2 buns.
    4 beignets.
    1 squirty cream.

    So far, have used up 7.5 out of the 15.5 total items.

    For my mini-challenge, used up 10.5/15.5 of the selected items.

    Weekend shopping purchases were reduced price salad and yoghurts.

    Last weeks online (food) shop purchases were mainly milk/cream and just a couple of fridge ingredients.

    Two freezer drawers remain empty; the others are packed. It may take ages to empty these, although winter may deter me from my local shopping trips? The fridge and cupboards are also full.

    Mini challenge for me, I am going to try and use up ten items before the end of the month.

    They will be:

    All my frozen bananas (there are a lot)
    [STRIKE]Maple syrup
    Tahini paste[/STRIKE]
    Ice Cream (should have no trouble with that)
    1 packet of herbal tea
    Molasses
    [STRIKE]Cocoa Powder (this is a bit of a cheat as it is nearly empty)[/STRIKE]
    Nutritional Yeast
    Potato Waffles
    [STRIKE]Weetabix type cereal[/STRIKE]

    Predictably I have made a meal plan for the week that doesn't include most of the remaining items, may have to rejig things.
