I’m making cottage pie(s) for tonight (plus one for the freezer). It’ll probably be topped with a mixed root vegetable mash as I don’t have too many potatoes but can add some carrots and sweet potatoes which need using up.

Last night I sliced up the gammon I had made in my slow cooker, and had four portions to go into the freezer and have had two meals off the rest, so six portions for £3.40 works out around 56p per portion for meat so I'm quite pleased with that.it was delicious as well as I had cooked it in cola and a smear of honey.
No more food shopping for me this month, and had £8.14 left from my food budget for September which has been squirrelled away toward a 'big shop' later this year. Only five days left from september and more than enough stuff to keep me going

I sorted out our freezers today....again.
I found the tuna steak I had been looking for, so I had that. Husband had pork, with some pork stuffing balls also found in the freezer. I made a potato and onion dish and we also had cauliflower, purple sprouting broccoli and green beans.
We had lemon sponge and custard afterwards.

Korean chicken and spicy noodles for them, pork belly for me
PS @Brie made the banana and oat muffins at the weekend, I’m lazy so bunged it all in the Thermomix and wizzed for a few seconds, was told by the chief taster [3yo GS] that they were ‘licious 👍🫶Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

We had the Lidl salmon wellington with dill cream and cheese sauce last night - very tasty - really recommend it as the pastry was excellent and it was a substantial portion of salmon - we're greedy so I had about 1/3 and the OH the rest. Properly it could do for 4 people but as I say we're greedy. There were some LO new potatoes and some frozen veg for roasting so those all got bunged in the oven as well.
Not sure about tonight - we've some beef chipolatas in the freezer which would be good on baguettes but there's also pork chops in the fridge. Or pasta. Or soup. Or something. We're so well organised!!!

We had actifry jacket potatoes, husband had ham, I had hard boiled egg and some mozzarella that needed eating. With salad.
I was hungry again two hours later so had a bowl of rice crispies.
It reminded me of my dad, he wont eat salad as he says you eat salad and two burps later you are hungry again. 😅3
