In my cupboards

custard powder -
oats -
sponge flour -
1 packet of coconut flour -
Self raising flour -
[STRIKE]Plain flour - [/STRIKE]
coconut oil x 2 -
PG tips and Nescafe -
basmati rice -
boil in the bag basmati rice -
1 packet tilda plain rice
5 packets tilda coconut rice
[STRIKE]Brie [/STRIKE]
Sultanas

As expected - the rice total has increased, and only two items used up. I can no longer get the curry paste I always used, so I'm not making the curries that I used to.

I used the last of the plain flour to make Welsh cakes with some of the sultanas.

The good news is that the food I am now buying each month is being eaten by the best before dates. The only items entering the list are things that were already in stock.

Hi, this month, I will keep it more flexible and aim to use up freezer drawer contents. By the end of the month, to achieve 2 empty drawers from 4. (1/4/18 was 1.5 drawers empty).

April 2018 challenge results = 2 empty drawers from 4*.

*Removed a lot of vegetables on the 30th April to the fridge to use up this week.

Thanks caronc,

I am wondering whether that will be the case for me. The turnips that were removed from the freezer last Monday have provided many uses e.g. as a "potato" substitute in recipes:

- "chips",
- mash mixture with added ingredients to use up,
- potato type breads (plain or savoury) to use up a flour substitute, frozen cheese and "old" garlic powder.

Still more baked ones in the freezer.
