Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two
Comments
-
Have had a back spasm all week which although painful (had to call doctor out) it means I have been using freezer stock. H/m soup previously frozen in single portions have been used for lunches, various frozen meals bought when reduced, some easy to cook either pre-made or bought meat products and always have plenty of veg in freezers so although really can hardly move, it has proved good for stocks. Had to ask for bread and eggs, oo and oats to be brought in today. Thank goodness for freezers.0

Just outs for me today....I had a word with myself and havent made the chilli I had planned
So portion of turkey, portion of mixed veg, portion of roast pots and a yorky pud will come out later0 -
The weather had cleared early Sunday morning after all. This led to purchases of "clearance" bags of frozen brussels sprouts and reduced price cucumbers. Consequently, although the freezer continues to get fuller, my main focus is to use up 2017 freezer stored batch cooked recipes.0
