The all new using what you have from your Freezer, Cupboard or Shed (Barn)

Yesterday: chicken nuggets, fries, sausages from freezer. Dds are not keen on these nuggets, but manfully ate them with promises of buying their preferred brand (Aldi ) again next week.
Today: hm chicken soup with all sorts of sad veggies and ground chicken balls I rolled and froze about 6 months ago. The stock was from bio cubes I bought in a sale about 2 years ago.

@RHemmings, there's always pea soup - though the risotto looks good.

I'm eating my way through frozen cauliflower and I've finished a small bag of broccoli, a part-pack of salmon and a pasta sauce today.

Pea soup is a good idea. 

If I had a lot of frozen cauliflower, I would try that thing people do where they deep-fry it with southern fried coating on it. Or make bhaji. Though, I understand that not everyone likes deep fried food.

We don't have a deep fryer, but there might be a work-around for that: I really like the idea of southern fried coating on it! I'd never have thought of that.

I haven't done it myself yet, but there are lots of recipes around. E.g. this one.

I have some 'southern fried coating' at the moment, but not enough suitable vegetables for it. Hmmm.... I have some fake chicken from Iceland .... maybe I won't use all of it. 

Bhajis are something I have made, and they are a great way of using up many different types of fresh vegetables. I used to have a copy of Lord Sri Krishna's Cuisine: Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking (AKA the Hare Krishna cookbook) but unfortunately I don't now. I must find a way of getting that recipe back.

Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian... by Devi, Yamuna (amazon.co.uk)

The book is still around but not cheap - there a Kindle version for £7.49 though.

The only recipe I regularly made from it was the bhaji. That in itself is worth the price of admission. I was thinking that I would go for a kindle version, and I probably will. Thanks.

Not been feeling too good for the past few days so only just got around to making Bolognese today. I also did a fridge and freezer sort out as I have an online shop being delivered later ( no car) amazing how quickly my freezer is filling up 😬 

Got out a few bits, so tonight will be spaghetti Bolognese, with some freezer garlic bread and some salad bits. Got out some pasta sauce that was talking up space, I'll use that for lunch tomorrow. Also some dough which will be cooked up tomorrow too make a snack for the kids. 

Put on some washing as well.

Still feeling very rough but I've been doing all these things between naps! At least we'll eat well tonight. That'll make me feel better x

I'm assuming you've already been very MSE and checked the library? If your local one doesn't have it, they may be able to get it on inter-library loan which I think has a charge but less than buying the book

It's amazing how much better I can feel after a main meal - but it sounds as though something's hit you quite hard. Get as much rest as you can, it will help in the long run.
