Leftover swede and carrots - inspire me!

This afternoon I cooked a chicken with today's date on. TBH I wasn't convinced of its freshness before it was cooked, and on tasting it afterwards I've decided not to use it. However, I'm now left with a pile of cooked carrots and swede. Can you give me some inspiration? Also have some broccoli that I put in boiling water but only for 30 secondsish before I decided not to have the chicken, so that needs using as well.

Don't need anything for tea, the kids ended up having mashed pots with corned beef, and I had HM quiche, so we've not gone hungry!!

    Swede and carrot mash ... mash it with butter and ground nutmeg, absolutely delicious ... top it with grated cheese and grill it if you fancy it.
    That's Numberwang!

    You can always freeze it all, and use it another time!!!

    I also love swede and carrot mashed together - we have butter and a little pepper, delicious!!! Never tried it with the grated cheese tho, but think i will next time!!!

    You could also mix all the veg with some potato, fry it and have bubble and squeak!!!

    I would boil a few potatoes (finally cut), finish cooking the broccoli. Mix with the swede and carrots, put some grated cheese on top and stick in the oven to heat/ brown the cheese. Eat and enjoy.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.
