What are you making for dinner?

Did more of the same for dinner last night as I need to use up the sausage rolls - added a jacket potato + roasted veggies.

I haven't cooked since Christmas lunch, we've just been grazing on leftovers! I feel wonderfully lazy.

However I have just defrosted two portions of the boeuf bourguinon I made on Christmas Eve, and we'll finish that up tonight. This is in the spirit of my new resolution not to Freeze Portions And Then Forget About Them, something which I did far too often this year. I have some cold cooked charlotte potatoes which I will slice and fry in leftover goose fat to go with it, and there is a variety of green veg to use up too.

I have stripped the meat from the turkey crown we had, there was heaps left over, and I'll use a handful of that tomorrow to make a curry. The rest will be frozen to make pie/risotto/quesadilla/pad thai etc.

I had halloumi in breadcrumbs with the last of the Christmas day red cabbage, green beans, broccoli and leftover baby potatoes also from Christmas day.
Husband had a beef brisket casserole from freezer with same veg accompaniments.

Finally finished off the lo sausage rolls for dinner with fried off sliced lo jacket potatoes/tomatoes + baked beans.

I would love to comment daily on this as meaning planning is my biggest downfall and ultimately the grocery budget is my biggest over spend every month.

I have decided on Hunters Chicken tonight. I have all the ingredients here so no need to spend a penny.

@outoftheviciouscircle Stick around on the OS board and menu planning will soon become second nature for you - there is so much good advice here from very friendly people 😀

I will start on the smoked salmon for dinner today - pressie from Dd. Hoping to rustle up a salad from fridge bits + have some 19p potatoes so no spending today.

Picking again, busy remodelling the utility room, so easy eats 😋

Turkey, mushroom and spinach curry, as is pretty standard for this time of year!

HM pizza tonight with HM pizza sauce. Both liberated from the freezer which was a feat in itself. 

Looking forward to something other than picky bits and stuffing (she says, after just eating the last of the left over roasties 🤣)
