Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

cheerfulness4

OUT: 3x garlic bread, 1 beef lasagne, YS Garlic Potato/onions roasties.

IN: Nothing.

Lunch was lamb broth from leftover Irish Stew yesterday. (very yum!)

Dinner was Roast Pork, YS garlic potato/onion roasties (which was yuck so glad we only paid 9p for it) YS Brussels, Roast parsnips, carrots, HM leeks in cream sauce. (YS single cream used @ 10p for 600ml from Mr T. )

Gradually using things out the cupboards, too. A jar of mincemeat that has been lurking since I left my last house which was nearly 3 years ago (and was reduced then!) has made an appearance in some tarts for tea.
They were delish using a 10p pk of 6 pastry shells with toppers from Asda. Lazy and lovely.

In to freezer - HM Apple/Pear/Sultana Crumble + LO Crumble Mix.

We had HM casserole + roast potatoes/parsnip + carrots + onions for dinner.
I made an Apple/Pear/Sultana Crumble - my kitchen smells yummy.

That's a lot of eggs in one recipe! It always puts me off trying a recipe if something uses too much of something.



I was put off ordering those ^ from the reviews, let me know what you think.



I've been using a smaller plate for ages now, more so just to keep things in check but made more sense for me. I also read today in the Waitrose mag that another idea was to fill the plate with veg, salad, fruit etc first then put anything else on top.



Dinner tonight: 30g lentils, tofu and watercress - can't use my normal dressing so cooked the lentils with bay leaf and added olive oil and garlic. Was surprisingly nice!

I know all the meat eaters are drooling at the sight of this

Kirri, there's a brown lentil chilli recipe in the Healthy Eating Handbook (just a booklet really) that's available free at Wholefoods at the moment. Don't know how it would suit your current restrictions but you might be able to adapt it?

Thank you, will pick it up next time I'm in there, probably next week.
I can't have chilli, onion, tomato but I may be able to adapt it!

Btw I didn't know veggie haggis even existed! The real thing used to make me feel ill (used to go to a lot of Burn's Nights as a kid and not eat a thing!).

veggie haggis is lovely, we used to eat loads, but i cant seem to find anywhere that sells it at the mo. its very filling so you dont need much. the one we used to get from morrys was suitable for veggis and vegans
