Reverse Meal Planning

Dinner last night was a tart made from sliced parsnips, potatoes, onions & stilton on a sheet of puff pastry - side salad of sliced cucumber & pickled red onion.  It looked surprisingly posh for a use-it-up Christmas leftover creation.  Best part is a second serving leftover for lunch today with a bowl of soup

Using up some of the meat from Sunday's roast and making a chicken, leek & mushroom bake, will be topped with grated potato.

@candygirl - This is the recipe we followed, but doubled the potatoes and stuck to the lower amount of Stilton

I love to read all the comments, and meal suggestions.  I am also using all the leftovers from the festive holidays.  Trying to plan meals from the freezer and cupboards during January, only buying fresh fruit and veg, and bread.  Saves some cash, and safer that heading out to shops.

Welcome to a couple of new people - just join in and share your ideas or regular favourites - it all saves food waste and money!

Last night I chopped up the last aubergine, a couple of onions, two small potatoes (for DH) a carrot, some frozen pumpkin and sad sweet potatoes - all roasted after sprinkling with salt, pepper, chilli flakes and olive oil - then I poured over a jar of (hm) passata towards the end (to stop it sticking (!) and grated some sharp cheddar cheese on top and popped it back in for 15 minutes (ended up 30) - my Mum called me and it was left in for maybe 15 minutes too long - crunchy-burnt-on-bits really are a whole other food group! It was yummy

Frying some shredded sprouts and onions to mix with saved mashed potato and a ton o corned beef to make Colcannon.  Nice when the potato mixture is flattened in a frying pan to go crispy on both sides

Having beef hot pot tonight using up the last of the carrots in the fridge, an onion and some of the potatoes, plus some YS beef shin I picked up at the weekend.  Very much looking forward to the comfort food.
