Mid morning and I've no idea what to cook for dinner tonight - if all else fails I will do fajitas (always a good staple in this house) as I know there are peppers that have been hanging around a while to use up.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20174 -
Used up the chicken and ham loaf I made yesterday with some LO mash with some chopped onions and half tin of beans from fridge. Steak from freezer for dinner tonight. Looking forward to that with some HM chips, onions & mushrooms.

enjoying reading everyone's menus, inspires me to waste no food. Tomorrow is jacket potatoe each and home made coleslaw from the white cabbage left in fridge, carrot, red onion and mayo. Potatoe fillings are left over quorn bolognaise sauce and other one is left over tuna mayonnaise, with some left over beetroot. great to get a "free" meal.3

Morning all. Lunch today is some vegetable soup that I'd stashed in the freezer. Dinner tonight is hunters chicken, which we'll have with chips that will use up the last of the potatoes, and some frozen mixed veg.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20173

Lunch today was fake-away Shawarma wraps. Sliced up some pre-cooked roasted chicken thighs, lettuce, tomato & shallots. Used up the last of the garlicky vegan mayo, some more of a never ending batch of home-made root veg coleslaw & two flame-baked naans from the store-cupboard. So tasty - amazing how a little bit of fresh salad can pick up a meal!4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

Hi all, we're having steak & sweet potato fries out of the freezer for tea tonight, will serve with pesto stuffed mushrooms and some sliced peppers. Kids are having chicken kiev's, the last of the alphabites and some veg. Need to go and have a sort through some freezer draws as I need to fit in a portion of cottage pie I cooked the other day and some diced beef & lamb chops I picked up yesterday. I'm debating using up the swede/carrots/parsnips in the fridge and making a stew with the beef, think I'll pop it in the slow cooker.Grocery Challenge 2024
