Hello Dear Reader,
Today I thought I would do a little update of how my
freezer and pantry challenge is going. I took a leaf out of "The Frugal Girl's" book and are slowly whittling down the bits and bobs in my freezer and some long overlooked items in my pantry. I did an inventory of what I had in both my freezer and over stuffed pantry and made up a list from there on how I was going to use up these food items.
So far this is how I've used some or all of those items-
1. Some dates and chia went into these
Date, Chia and Coconut Biscuits
2. Some semolina in a dish of amazing Baked Semolina Gnocchi with Oregano and Tomato Sauce, this is a wonderful recipe and I will be posting it next Monday. There is enough semolina left over to make another batch of this, which will definitely be happening again soon, it was so good.
3. An open packet of puff pastry, a small quantity of frozen peas and some potatoes in these
Curried Potato and Pea Parcels
4. Half a bottle of frozen passata, some frozen breadcrumbs and 2 tins of sardines went into this
Sardine and Rosemary Pasta with Parsley and Garlic Crumb
5. Some frozen cream and a loaf of frozen Brioche was used up in this
Cheese and Chorizo Bread Pudding
6. A carton of frozen butter milk went into a batch of my
Light and Fluffy Pancakes for breakfast last Sunday
7. I have taken out the left over stock from the last time I made Drunken Chicken plus half a tetra pack of frozen chicken stock (as I will probably need a bit more stock) to make another
Drunken Chicken for dinner tonight.
8. And lastly we used up a frozen container of
Upmarket Rice and Beans for an easy dinner one night. This is a photo of what items we had in the freezer next door (our Sons and Partners home) there is only the lime juice and zest plus the passionfruit pulp to use up now. I will be making a huge batch of Lime and Passionfruit Butter to give away at Christmas time.
I still have quite a way to go until my freezer is empty and my pantry, not quite so full, but slow and steady will win the race.
Have you ever done a freezer or pantry challenge? If so, what interesting bits and bobs did you find?
Have a lovely day
