Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

Soworried

They look lovely kirri :j
Nothing in today or out.
We had the last of the gammon with egg and noodles, should have been chips but I have had a hard week and wanted to cook as quick as possible once I got home at 6.30pm :cool:

Due to tearing my calf muscle pat week and walking on crutches I sent the lovely Boyf off to sainsburys with a shopping list of fruit, veg, milk and eggs.

He returned with £100 of groceries :O so meal plans for the week completely changed and more stuff added to the freezer.

So In: Belly pork joint (ys)
Bacon (ys & split into 3 packs)
Beef joint (ys but still almost £5: he knows not to buy again!)
Chicken thighs and leg pack (ys & split into 2 packs)
Smoked mackerel (ys)
Pork medallions (ys and split into two packs)
Chestnut mushrooms- sliced and put into 3 bags.

Out; 8 sausages for toad in hole tomorrow
125g masa harina for corn tortillas made today
1 pack instant custard (ood but tasted fine!)

Out: 2 x packs of lamb mince, bag of chopped mushrooms, bag of red wine.

In 8 x portions of minced lamb ragu.

Not going quite to theory but I do think that in about ten weeks time the freezer will be empty"......

Kirri looks good, I saw on a program of you put the pastry cut and in the tin prior to baking in the fridge it stops the pastry from shrinking, anyone tried it?

I'm really pleased with myself, I weighed myself after 2weeks and have lost 7lbs, must be the 6 mile walk lol.

Chicken in the fridge marinaded from last night, Just went and got a bag of mixed leaves from Mr w for 29p ys, will have that for lunch tomorrow, 9 chicken drumsticks for 1.99 in mr w at the moment that's minimum of 4 meals there, the leg is my fave bit. Also going to do roast potatoes that I see ina do on tv, I will roast 2 but only eat the one in garlic and herb with a bit of oil, yesterday I also got 2 packs of ys baby carrots and green beans, so I'm having those too. It was cheaper to buy 2 packs than the one.

Since there is free milk knocking about for the week, I'm back to using up the porridge from cupboard and the sultanas.

Hope everyone is well.

Well done on your weight loss MNR :T

Out today came 7 sausages and some 3 veg mash for dinner. Nothing should go in.



We had it with 3 veg mash and some mixed veg that I got for 19p a few days ago.

I said nothing should go in but I forgot that I put a packet of ys puff pastry in I have just taken out a jar of soup for lunch tomorrow as well

Nice presentation Soworried!

MNR - didn't know that about the shrinkage, I never even rest my pastry in the fridge either as it just makes it hard work to roll out!

Well done on the weight loss - there was some guy into extreme walking on Countryfile tonight, only took him 10 weeks to walk the whole of the UK..

I'm on a roll with the cooking this weekend, did the split pea dip and bread with linseed/sunflower seed/pumpkin seed today. (WP - this is what 100g of split peas measures out to once cooked).

Dinner was veg box watercress, one of yesterday's HM veggie pies, some split pea dip and bread.

In to freezer - 2 tubs of LO Shepherd's Pie + tub of mashed Potatoes.
Out of freezer - Chicken Breast + bacon.
Used LO casserole to make a LO Shepherd's Pie. I mixed in a tin of baked beans plus some mixed veggies. Flavoured it with garlic granules + jerk seasoning. Plenty of potatoes in stock for topping - some mash left over too. Two helpings of Shepherd's Pie going in the freezer.
So we had the LO Shepherd's Pie with carrots and cabbage + gravy for dinner.

morning all
loving the photos of everyones meals
that toad in the hole looks fantastic -beautifully risen.
plan to only buy what was needed worked over the weekend and hoping for as many DSNs as poss this week.

had celeriac in the vegbox last couple of weeks and tried doing it as smash with swede and potatoes. it was lovely, did extra the 2nd time so it made another meal with some lo cooked cabbage as bubble and squeak.
DH got given a couple of bags of pots as christmas tips so we are slowing working through those and saving money in the process.

EDIT

our hm leek and pot soup is simmering for after the scout run has been done
