Dannie, hope you are feeling better. My appetite has started to come back but I’m still lacking in energy to do too much or be creative food-wise, so just a stir-fry last night and a “beige bung in the oven” for tonight. But I do need to get my act in gear tomorrow as there are some veg that need a bit of attention and tlc to make them appealing again

Thanks for your message Need2bthrifty. I think things are improving thanks. My appetite could have also settled back to its normal pattern.
Hope your energy levels and health improves.0 -
No weekend shopping so far. The weather "put me off". Also, the fact that somebody I know has gone into town, so will get "one or two" things for me.
Finished all of my yoghurt (purchased and made) yesterday. Today, had a freezer stored recipe which had free blackberries in, collected last late Summer.0 -

Just some coffee purchased last weekend and one online food order to receive next week. No plans to go out shopping; think my health has not improved after all? Plenty of food at home to still use up.0

Please may I join? I've just done my December food shopping as I have no intention of going anywhere near a supermarket from now until the beginning of January. I can't fit anything else in the freezer or cupboards so I would like to go as long as possible buying as little as possible - I am on the Grocery Challenge thread too.
Today all sorts of things went in. Out of the freezer was some chicken (already cooked) which I heated up and used with a portion of mashed potato also out of the freezer and some carrots to make dinner for ds (aged 14 and usually known as the HT or House Troll). I also took some bags of rhubarb out of the freezer and made 4 mini rhubarb crumbles - 2 for me and 2 for my friend (who is on steroids due to chemotherapy treatment so is developing eating as a new hobby). I'll drop the crumbles off tomorrow with her Christmas cake which I decorated yesterday.
Looking forward to getting to know you all0
