    That hash sounds lovely @ruby_eskimo - I shall have a g00gle and see if I  an find the recipe and maybe have a play next week :)

    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. 
    It's actually called Poor Man's Potatoes and i've found someone's blog who has the actual recipe HERE. Enjoy :)

    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.

    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.

    Got our burgers and wholemeal rolls from freezer for lunch today.  Will be using up the LO pizza sauce with some veg to make a pasta dish for dinner tonight.  Also got a beef stew out of freezer for dinner tomorrow night.

    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!

    Have got a foil tray of chicken in gravy out of freezer for dinner tomorrow.  Will also use up the end of last week's cabbage.
    Have also got some prawns and smoked salmon out of the freezer for lunch today, will have some of the mixed leaves with them plus some crackers from the cupboard.

    We had a takeaway last night - instead of tomorrow and realised it is the first for months! What a treat!

  • 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.
