Having a duck breast I found in the freezer with roast potatoes, roasted carrots, onions & peppers, last of the cabbage which needs using up as it's getting to the end of its' life, & some frozen peas.

No cooking for me tonight as its pub quiz and i get fed a small cooed supper included in the price great night out including food for £2.00 bargain I think. I will have a late lunch around 2.00 thenoff to the quiz around 6.30.

Really making head roads into my freezer at last and getting a bit more wriggle room in there, still a way to go before defrosting but I am hopeful before Christmas at least.

The best bit is I am hardly going near a shop at the moment and have only spent about a third of my normal food budget cash this month ,so win-win :) the surplus will go into my holiday account at the end of the month which will boost the savings in there:)

I will have cheese and mushroom stuffed peppers for lunch with some sald I think I really like them and they are pretty filling

I've got some leeks in the fridge which need using up so have changed my menu plan to include leek & potato soup for lunch today. Think I will have enough for at least another lunch for DH and I which I'll freeze for next month's menu plan!

Dinner tonight will be a veggie biryani which I got out the freezer from the last time I made it.

Both of these should have been yesterday's Meat Free Monday lunch & dinner but I had got a beef tagine out the freezer which we hadn't eaten when planned so became last night's dinner with some couscous and it was really nice and enjoyed by us both.

I have some cubed beef (I think its beef ) in my freezer so that will be dug out with some frozen veg and stuck into the slow cooker tomorrow morning before I go out so tomorrow nights dinner will be some sort of casserole type thing .Tonight's meal will be bangers (again from the freezer:)) and some left over mash from last night and the other half of a tin of beans from the fridge. The prunes and custard the other day was delicious I think the tin had been at the back of my cupboard for about 6 months did three nights puddings and used up a tin of evaporated milk as well. Tonights pudding is the last of my yoghurt with some berries from the freezer mixed in and a dollop of my grape Jelly that DD brought me back from NYC.I adore their Smukers Grape Jelly and she always gets it for me when she goes out to visit my DGS Danny it goes with almost anything yogurt,rice pud, even porridge I don't eat bread, so I use it elsewhere.

I had the last of my big navel oranges that I bought from Aldi's and grated up the peel and put it in a small container in the fridge, makes a change from lemon drizzle and I have some orange juice as well to dribble into the cake probably make that tomorrow afternoon when I will be doing some baking. Nothing gets wasted in my house

About 4 years ago I bought a packet mix .... it's sat in the cupboards... I've looked at it often and thought "I should get round to that".

It's now over 3 years out of date.... and I pulled it from the cupboard to make it and realised it's more effort than I was prepared to go into ... so I've used the packet mix as part of another recipe instead, seeing it as "an ingredient" and not "a whole mix" ..... and in about half an hour's time I'll know if I got away with it.

I'm confident that what I made was spot on .... but it's still got to go through the taste test....

It started life containing "active ingredients"... that will have simply died.... so the recipe I've used instead is one avoiding active ingredients, using it as just "flavoured flour".
