Still using stuff up as much as possible and nothing is going to waste.I had two large cooking apples given to me yesterday and they are going to go into a pie and I shall use up some of the left over pastry bits I have tucked away in the freezer I always seem to make too much and anything left is wrapped and frozen for another time and its surprising how even the smallest odds and ends add up I will have enough left over to knock up a few jam tarts for my DGS who is off on half term so it will all be used up and a bit more wriggle room in the freezer

The chutney has been made :rotfl: Combined the ingredients from 2 recipes - but NOT the quantities I am stunned 😳 at how well it has come out :rotfl: DH & I have both taste tested with cheese & crackers & love it - rather spicy 🥵 but delicious 😋
Have 3 medium jars & a small pot :T

A happy MrsSD

Well done on getting the chutney made MrsSD.

I'm going to use up some of the LO gammon, swede & carrot mash and potatoes fried up together with some beans for dinner tonight.

Had hoped there would have been more veg left so that I could have frozen some but unfortunately only enough left for tonight. There will however by some LO mash potato so will make duchess potatoes and freezer those.

Tonights meal is a pork steak floured,dipped in egg and coated in dried sage and onion stuffing mix, steamed veg and LO mash potato from yesterday cottage pie.
I used the last of the lasagne beef sauce to make a cottage pie for the freezer.I always make a bit extra mash which I can use on something else Saves me just cooking for one

I made a nice lasagne for my youngest DD for her freezer and what mince was left I made a cottage pie for my freezer and the bit of left over mash will be finished off for dinner tonight forward planning :)or what
Celery soup this week has been great and I think I will make some more this weekend I add lentils to it plus a good glug of sweet chilli sauce and some lazy garlic as well to give it a bit of a zip

Was DSis’s birthday on Friday - I cooked her pork medallions in a mushroom Marsala sauce, with boiled potatoes & rtc carrots. Two lo medallions & sauce were bagged & put in the freezer which I am trying to empty :rotfl:
Saturday’s dinner was lo boiled potatoes which were sliced & saut!ed, bacon, baked mushrooms & baked tomatoes, mushrooms in cream, 3 lo sausages sliced & heated up in a tin of chopped tomatoes (DH also had a couple of fried eggs)
DH will have the lo chopped tomatoes & bits of sausage in a sandwich for Sunday’s lunch

M.E.

I made some apple crumble tonight, from apples in the garden. Very nice it was too.
I had the peels and cores, so rather than compost them, I cooked them up in some water. Whizzed them with the stick blender, added some mulled wine spices left over from last year. Then strained the mixture. As it was still warm we had it with the meal, delicious spiced apple drink.

Not much LOs at the moment just some roast potatoes & cabbage so will have them fried up together with some eggs & beans for lunch.

Will use up a couple of LO chicken legs from the roast to make a curry for tomorrow night's dinner.
