    Sweet n sour LO from the other night (the one I added peppers to, but I picked out the rather icky baby corn before I portioned it up....the baby corn bits were consigned to the compost bin) added some tinned pineapple too. Had that with 1/2 pack LO rice and qinoa micro rice thingy from Aldi (love their packet grains range in there) which I nuked, then whacked in the frying pan and added an egg for 'egg fried-ness', plus soy sauce to serve.

    Think this is actually the first meal I've really enjoyed for a while.

    I also love the Aldi grains. I used the morrocan buckwheat one as a base for a vegetarian pie, fried up some mushrooms, grated carrot mixed it with a packet and topped with sweet potato mash for my daughter.
    Must have been good because it made an appearance on Instagram.

    Ohh yum - was it 'just' those ingredients you used? My OH is veggie but very bad at actually liking veg, plus does long hours so doesn't want to spend any time cooking when he gets home, so I'm constantly trying to come up with creative things he'll eat :think:

    Tonight I had a no bull burger, boiled pots and petit pois...OH had a pot noodle (I know.....:eek:....but to be fair I had bought it as a treat so it was going to be eaten at some stage)

    Have just reshuffled the freezer so my friends things are more or less on one (bottom) shelf now with a few bits on another shelf and I can sort of see / get to what is actually our food. Once she collects her stuff there's going to be a lot of freezer space - but it's good making me use what we have without trying to buy more.

    I have some spinach and feta pastry things from Lidl last summer to use up but last time OH cooked some they weren't properly cooked which as some what put me off them - think he put them in for 20mins and they should take 35-40! :eek:
