Made a casserole last night with some LO turkey i found in the back of the freezer. Added some LO HM stock and some veg that were starting to look sad, plus a tin of butterbeans, and some mini pasta shells. Topped off with some dumplings. So that i think will be my dinner tonight, not sure about OH.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

mash, frozen salmon, and what ever veg I pull out of the freezer. Quite pleased with tonight's effort as from what I can recall last few Saturdays have been oven food or take way.3

had HM fish pie with celeriac rosti and the topping. Spent most of the day batch cooking as I sprained my ankle being too adventurous and climbing down a steep cliff path and slipped and fell over half term so still taking it easy.
I also made:- chicken parmigiana
- chicken and veg soup
- chicken, mushroom in a creamy tarragon sauce
- vegan sheese and onion pie for the hubby
