Using up everything in the freezer...inspiration please :-)

I'm over a week into an exercise to use up what we have rather than giving in and doing a big shop. My freezer is always jam packed.

There are currently:

15 boxed up leftover meals, stews, curries, chilli etc and a soup
A bag of broccoli
A bag of cauliflower
A bag of green beans
(There for eons as I usually use fresh)
1.5 bags of chopped onions
Handful of frozen peas
Handful of frozen chips
225g chorizo
1.2kg chicken breasts
4 x pork loin steaks
600g pork sausages
220g scampi in breadcrumbs
500g turkey mince
500g lamb mince
250g beef mince
4 packs of unsmoked back bacon
8 slices black pudding
4 slices haggis
2 slices square sausage
2 packs of pita bread
2 packs of squarish wraps

I have all the usual store cupboard things, plus eggs, milk and cheese and I need to do a small shop for fresh veg etc.

What would you make with any of the above?

Haggis, black pudding, bacon and sausage says breakfast/brunch on Saturday or Sunday.

Lamb mince turned into Shepherds pie
Turkey mince into chilli
Chorizo + peas + green beans basis of omelette with chips
Chicken breast wrapped in bacon
Onions, chicken and pitta says curry me
Pork steaks with a cheese and onion topping

Make a plan for a week to eat it down, although some things will add to it.
