Empty freezer
Well I have found a positive to all this snow. I haven’t made it to the shops since Saturday (which in itself has saved me money) and as a result I have been living off my freezer for the last couple of nights and what I can get to in my veg plot (once I have scraped away the 2 foot of snow that covers it).
So I now have lots of space in my freezer for any Christmas leftovers or extra provisions for unexpected visitors like mince pies, rolls and banana loaf (which I made from 4 very overripe bananas on Sunday). It is amazing the meals you can pull together from lots of odd ‘bits’ that are in most freezers.
I had some cocktail sausages left over from a party which we luckily had on Saturday, so I checked on the Love Food Hate Waste website for some inspiration. I have put the link below. I used cocktail sausages, mixed veg instead of the pepper (which I didn’t have) and an onion instead of spring onion (which I didn’t have either) and I have to say it was great, even my fussy family agreed. The Jambalaya was a success, glad the website was there, I needed help!
