Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

dannie

Using up 2017 freezer stored batch cooked recipes = 14.

2 more of the above are pending. It will probably take a few days.

Defrosted the fridge freezer and checked the cupboards today. Still plenty to use up. My (food) grocery order is due next week so do not need much.

I am REALLY not going to shop except for milk in February the time has come to get to the end of two freezers so I can sort out my kitchen and be ready for the summer fruit glut that will be here before I know it. I really do think I have enough food to last for at least four weeks so the challenge is on.

Out: lasagne, sirloin steak, mixed summer fruit (raspberries, white currants and strawberries.

Soup would be great but only use one or two parsnips, they overwhelm the other flavours.

Welcome to eating through the freezer!

I used up some old parsnips, a couple of wrinkly apples and the last of a packet of split chickpeas today to make some Dal/soup. I've chucked in a good dollop of some vindaloo paste that's sitting in the fridge so it's going to be a spicy one! We'll have this with some chapattis I found in my under-the-stairs stash of goodies I've bought from AF and forgotten about because they're under the stairs.

I used some of a huge bag of pizza dough mix from the same stash yesterday to make us all pizzas for lunch. There's still absolutely loads of it left though so I think we'll be having pizza a lot over the next few weeks. At least I'm making a start though. I've banned myself from even looking on the AF site until I've used up the stuff I've already got.
