    Out: chicken chasseur.

    Nothing more will fit in the freezer, so I need to work on what's in there (and also make an excess of parsnips into soup). Still need to use that bacon, too.

    I'm using up my parsnip to mix with potatoes for sausage and mash tonight!  You can always add bacon to the soup or freeze the parsnip as "mash potatoes"
    Out: spaghetti style pasta dinner last night. Wholemeal fussili for lunch today.
    In: very small portion of leftover beetroot and creme fraiche sauce, not sure how.well it will freeze.

    It would go very well with sausage and mash... however I'm the only one who likes parsnips, so if I have some over from the soup I will mash it to add to potatoes separately from DH's.

    The bacon and four pieces of chicken are going in another chicken chasseur today: it's only a couple of days since we had some but it was so nice we are having more! That will also free a bit of freezer space and ensure we have more variety of vegetables as it's the sort of recipe where you can be a bit inventive with what gets thrown in.

    The risotto turned out a bit porridge texture, it wasn't cooked after the specified time, so put it on timer and went to sleep. Tasty, but a bit mushy. 

    In: stocked up on fruit juices from home for ms C. Tinned mushrooms, tinned spiced taco beans. 

    Out: tinned mushrooms (always have 1 in the cupboard, just in case)

    Out: bacon, chasseur, all the plain flour (yes, pancakes), 1 portion spicy parsnip soup.

    To use up soon: 4 portions soup, 2 pints milk to turn into yogurt, 2 part-tubs humus (sooo nice on pancakes with a mixture of onions, peppers and mushroom cooked down really soft - learned that from my friend yesterday), small portion of the veg mix just mentioned, tuna and mayo mix, most of a box of mushrooms, eggs.

    I'm off to start the yogurt.

    Out: a portion each of lentil & mushroom casserole and leek and potato soup. (And I discovered two more portions of parsnip soup in the bottom drawer of the freezer, it's  good job I like it).

    In: 3 tins tomatoes, 4 boxes of flavoured teas and a litre of yogurt.
