Loving the idea of Shelf-tember! 😄
Very slow progress here - any space I make un the freezers seems to be immediately filled by apples and pears (and I still have many kilos to process and pick - and I've given some awat)
I did get out 4 chicken breasts from the freezer yesterday to coat with panko (I bought a kilo bag at the end of last year- it's quie large!) - I split them first and then bashed them thin so there's now 2 tubs of leftover chicken in the fridge 🙄 as DH was unwell by dinner time (prepped late morning) along with a tub of baby roasted potatoes. I had a piece of chicken for dinner (not hungry) and will have some with salad for lunch tomorrow. I think DD is coming round to watch bake off tomorrow night, so will palm some chicken and potatoes off on her for the following day and see if DS1 wants to have chicken wrap for lunch tomorrow.
I also made a pear and apple crumble yesterday (so much fruit here!) and used ras-el-hanout (about 10 years old...) instead of mixed spice - worked well1 portion of it left, which DS1 can have tomorrow night.
