Today's freezer food was going to be sausages for OH but "I don't like those ones, I will buy some different ones". :mad: Oh that'll be me having to eat up the others then...

I have taken out a portion of polish cabbage soup for my lunch and am using up some leftovers for tea - with added veg...

Not sure if DS is here for a meal tonight or if he's going back to uni - ooh, if he is, he can have the other sausages.. or some fish fingers that also need using...

Dinner tonight will be bacon and leek risotto. The leeks were YS and needed using up and the bacon is what's left of the pack we opened at the weekend. It's a nice easy recipe that cooks in the oven.

I'm sort of on your OH's side a bit, I can be particular about sausages. Having said that, I'd still eat a walls banger rather than throw it away!

Up here in the north east we have two excellent rival sausage companies..Northumberland sausage co and Geordie Bangers. Bit more expensive but delish and it's nice to support local suppliers.

keeping with the sausage theme, I found some Christmas sausage and chestnut stuffing while freezer diving. I usually freeze it in balls but no space this year so it's all going to have to be used up in one go so I'll be making scotch eggs with it. I made them last year and even managed to cook the sausage meat and keep the yolks runny!

Made a huge batch of cream of bendy veg and wilted salad soup last night....Managed to get it blitzed without witness so nobody knows about the dodgy lettuce :rotfl:

Off to deliver some to my Granda to share for lunch and my cousin and her 2 little peeps....The biggest little peep won't eat it....we'll negotiate for trying one spoon and one piece of bread dipped in before he can have anything else. The littlest little peep is a human hoover who would probably have eaten the manky lettuce as it was! He tried to eat my Mam once because she was sat still too long.....A literal 'ankle biter'that one.

My favourite bangers are from my local Dobbies Gloucester Old Spot ,they are not cheap but two really fill your boots up.I like them with potato patties Made either with tinned potatoes (cheap as chips to buy ) or a couple of peeled spuds .If using fresh spuds boil for 10 minutes then drain and grate in a bowl add a good handfull of cheese a beaten egg and either a splash of sweet chilli sauce or a spoonful of paprika .I adore anything spicy but only add if you like spicy stuff.Mix all together and form into small potato cakes, (bit like small fish cakes ) ,fry in the frying pan until golden on both sides serve with a sausage or two and either peas or baked beans, a good filling mid week meal .I open freeze any uncooked ones and then box them up. Handy when I have hungry grandsons with hollow legs and makes a nice change from mash or chips with bangers

Will deffo try the potato patties hun

Brambling

I picked up a small chicken YS half price on Friday, so for £2 I had roast on Saturday using a leg, I made soup with the bones today as it was only a small chicken I added the second leg and made four large (greedy) portions of soup for lunches adding carrot, potato, onion and LO runner beans and broccoli from the roast. Tonight I made a quick Mr T recipe called Gong Bao chicken slightly tweaked using the two breasts and the last of the LO broccoli served with rice there is enough LO for dinner tomorrow

Whilst the chicken was roasting i filled the oven and roasted the last quarter of cauliflower which needed using and a couple of YS peppers one green which I will use during the week as there is feta cheese in the fridge

Roast chicken for us today with some sausage, cranberry and apple stuffing we picked up YS for 28p after Christmas. Pudding was apple and raspberry crumble using some Bramleys that were past their best and some raspberries from the freezer that we grew last summer. It was absolutely delish. There was only a handful of raspberries but since they are so flavourful it was just the right amount.
Thanks for the potato recipe JackieO will defiantly give it a try.

Potato cakes sound yummy! I sometimes make sweetcorn fritters to with bangers....just make a stiff batter with flour, egg and milk (I use half gram flour for taste and SR for fluffiness) add in whatever spice you like, (some fried onions are nice too if you have the time) mix in some tinned sweetcorn and shallow fry blobs. Nice with spicy tomato sauce for grown ups and easy finger food for little peeps...cheep, filling and not bad cold as a lunch box snack. You can freeze them and crisp them backup with 10 min in the oven too.
