Friday was sandwiches again so we had the hm lasagne on Saturday with the last garlic baguette from the freezer & hm garlic mushrooms. Keep rejigging the menu, so now
Sunday - full roast pork dinner, crumble & custard for afters
Monday - leftovers from Sunday + extra veg.
Tuesday - Toad in the Hole + Mash
Wednesday - Mackerel in foil with boiled rice & peas
Thursday - Fish cakes, mash, peas & sweetcorn
Friday - mini scallops with ???
Saturday - Venison Sausages, mash & beans
That should see both freezers practically empty apart from frozen veg & ice creams

Hi, jumping in here.
we're away for a week and will likely have a few treats but for the rest of the month, we're using up food from the freezers, cupboards and garden (not much) and buying from the SM only those essentials we need.
today we've have HM Middle Eastern soup for lunch and will be going to my dad's for Easter dinner.
Monday will be butternut squash pasta from the freezer... the children didn't like it the last time I served it but the only way they'll ever get to like new food is to be served it (whilst hungry enough to try/eat it)!

Had roast lamb today and with the left over meat I have made a lamb and mint pie ( pastry ys 6p).
With the rest of the pastry I got some fruit out of the freezer and other left over pastry and made a pear (needed eating) and apple pie; gooseberry and apple pie; and with all the left over pastry, apple and crumble (also from the freezer) a crumble top apple pie.
For dinner - carrots not peeled - washed cut and roasted; cauliflower had more leaves than cauliflower!!! So it was like having two vegetables for the price of one!Save 12K in 2026 no 16

Am at my friends until tomorrow night so no cooking at all at the moment . My next dinner that I have to cook will be on Thursday as I am out tomorrow and tuesday night at the pub quiz,wednesday night in London for the day so I only have to make something for Thursday as I am out on Friday at a murder ,mystery dinner with a friend and Saturday night I am at a big charity quiz so only one main meal to cook this week so food budget will be small this week. :):) 0

So the butternut squash pasta dish was as enthusiastically received as I predicted it would be. Although, the youngest did eat a fair bit of the pasta, she could only choke down one piece of butternut squash. The eldest made so much uncomplimentary noise you’d have thought I was poisoning her
Still, it has made a bit of room in the freezer :rotfl:

my dad brought me some chicken chipolatas from Ald!, so I took some pastry from the freezer and turned them into sausage rolls - first home made sausage rolls I've been able to eat for 30 years... used shortcrust pastry rather than puff, but they were delicious. Whilst the oven has been on I've also made some large scones, 24 mini lemon Bakewell tarts (I should ice them, but I can't be bothered) and some buns. Some of the baking haul will end up back in the freezer but will be individually wrapped so that they can come out as and when.
tonight's dinner will be waffles and chips from the freezer with eggs and beans. Simple.
Tomorrow's dinner will be chicken from the freezer with jacket potato, lunch will be an aubergine curry with rice I found lurking in the freezer (a bit more space created).

i must admit i'm with your kids on the butternut front. i REALLY don't like the texture of it cooked and left in chunks.
however i love any pumpkin/squash made into a blended soup, esp if its lightly spiced and spiked with a bit of fresh chilli as a topping.
maybe your kids don't like the texture rather than the flavour (i don't think it tastes of much). either way at least they gave it a second try.0 -
Sorry JackieO, I just mentioned your cookbook on the super frugal thread. You may end up with a full in box . 0
