    I have just made a slightly random supper, just to use up some odds and ends. I have cooked a handful of penne pasta with some finely chopped broccoli florets, mixed it with some fried chopped onion, red chilli and mushroom, and then mixed the whole lot in a white sauce to which I added a dollop of mascarpone and a cubed boneless salmon fillet. The whole dish is currently baking in the oven and looks quite appetising!

    A sauce to use up things in through fridge! Tomatoes, celery, beef, peppers etc. With penne.
  • I made some refried beans today, and couldn't decide quite what I wanted to do with them, so ended up just dolloping some on my plate and having them with salad.

    As I'm trying to empty the fridge before going on holiday, I have had the same again tonight. The teenager ate some frozen things that have limited nutritional value, but I do not feel like having yet another argument about vegetables tonight.

    Made a long simmered stock with yesterday’s chicken carcass. Used as a base for a chicken noodle soup.

    Wonderfully simple, healthy and delicious and all for not much money!
