    Nothing gone into the freezer recently and very little out either.

    Tonight will be a store cupboard dish - cheesy rice stuffed squash. The squash needs using up as it looks a little mouldy around the stalk end so I had to change my menu plan to use it. But it's a lovely dish. Even DH likes it and he usually moans whenever we have a veggie meal!

  • I think I need to join this challenge - when you can do a fortnight's meals with the purchase of just 6 food items then you know you have a lot of food. Admittedly, this is after a Costco run and extra shop for batch canning but even so...

    Yesterday:
    IN: 30 fish fingers (on offer), 2 tubs of chilli and one of Spag Bol (failed canning), 1 loaf of bread.
    OUT: Ice cream, turkey breasts

    Today:
    In: 0
    Out:1 jar HM soup for lunch, 1 demi-baton brown bread, beef curry for tomorrow night's dinner
