What was on your dinner plate tonight?

[YouBelongWithMe]

We had an odd one of trying to use up what we have before payday + what is fresh on offer in Lidl.

It resulted in skin on oven fries, topped with a kind of mexican-spiced beef mince (almost like taco beef) and cheese, with Mexican street corn salad, homemade guacamole and some dipping tortillas.

We are currently creating a meal-planning spreadsheet and will be watching this thread in the hopes of stealing your meals!

M&S salmon and broccoli quiche, new potatoes, home made coleslaw, salad leaves, tomato and cucumber with some pomegranate molasses. Classic meal tonight.

I had some leftover country sausages that I’d frozen as meatballs, leftover roasted veg from the night before, some roasted tomatoes which had been leftover a while back that I’d blitzed and frozen, with a good dollop of red wine added to meatballs before the toms and veg, and served over pasta.

Tonight is chicken and mushrooms in a white wine and cream sauce that I’d made before the mushrooms and cream weren’t usable a couple of months ago and frozen a couple of portions. Probably over pasta, or rice.

Tomorrow is probably a Spanish omelette with the ends of the veg in the fridge (courgette, pepper), a small onion, handful frozen peas, handful cherry tomatoes, and fistful of string cheddar grated, maybe with some bacon lardons.

I am both on a “use up what’s in fridge and freezer” before I leave here for 2 weeks, and trying to save money.
