Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

cheerfulness4

I'd tend to just use the egg, too.

OUT: 1 portion chicken korma, 1 portion couscous.

IN: Nothing.

Lunch today was a whole garlic bread each for mum and I. (no bread for sarnies and she loves garlic bread!)

Dinner was carbonara with more of the YS single cream, YS salad @ 9p.
Pudding was carrot cake (made from M &S cake mix on AP foods @ 5 for £1. Very scrummy!

Freezer lid goes down now without a box on it. :T

Edited: Just read your comment Florence. Certainly if there was someone vulnerable in the house I'd check before mixing. I get your point.

Got weighed lost 3lb, smaller plates seem to be working as we had chicken roast last night with roasted vegs. I must have eaten about 2/3 what I normally do and I'm not hungry - yet

zafiro - Never thought to freeze hobnobs. Didn't realise you could. This could really help as we tend to scoff them much to fast.

Well done on the 3lbs. I'm in denial and won't go near the scales for fear of ruining the contentment I'm feeling right now.

The egg in water test is put it in bowl of water, if it sinks it's fine, if it floats it's gone off. They carry Salmonella so ias people have said, if anyone in the house would be effected easily best to chuck if it floats.

Dinner - feeling lazy/tired so just another jacket potato, with some semi banned butter/speck of pepper.. with watercress and tofu. Wouldn't normally have tofu with it but needed to be used up!

Followed up with some choc nut fruit things I made (from idea in a Waitrose mag) - shouldn't be eating sugar but..

These were shiny till I stuck them in the fridge for a quick chill so I could eat them

You all take such lovely photos. Mine are rubbish on my old phone.

Out: Leftover frozen roast beef, HM leek sauce.

In: Nothing.

Brunch was boiled eggs with fingers and a chocolate chip muffin DS made from M & S cake mix from AP Foods 5x pks @ £1.49 (and they were gorgeous although I'm not sure buying 15 pks was such a good idea!):o

Dinner was HM bacon and cheese quiche with HM coleslaw made from 1/4 pk of crunchy salad bag @ 9p and last remaining chives from my YS 5p pack. Mayo was gifted from mum.
Also had bubble and squeak made from 1/2 bag of value instant mash (:eek:) YS Brussels, onion and bit of cheese that was needing using.
Looks horrible (told you my photos were rubbish, nothing was burnt and coleslaw a beautiful purple) but tasted fine and DH loved.



On the subject of plate sizes, I also opted for smaller plates and tend to buy pretty bone china ones from the charity shops (don't care they're mis-matched) and they're about 2/3rds the size of a normal, or even slightly less. Must stop stacking up on them though or defeats purpose.

WOW! Just seen those chocolate nuts things kirri, DROOL!

mrs-moneypenny
