As the weather is so dire, I'm thinking of cooking a batch of pasties - one for tea, some to freeze.

There's some mince in the freezer, plus I've still got loads of Christmas cheese, so might do a few cheese and potato as well as the usuals

Sausage hotpot & like madcat if it stops raining I’ll fetch sprouts from the plot if not will be last weeks broccoli from the fridge( thinking about it I’d better use it up,so that’s saved me a job 😄)

Fridge clearout chicken noodle soup bowl.  I used shark's fin melon strands instead of proper noodles.  Very nice and even more filling than noodles.  Not sure how that works, but I've noticed that every time I have eaten it in various forms.  It just feels like you have eaten something way more substantial than veg

Sounds interesting,do you fancy sharing the recipe in your other thread on the sharks fin?

Snow!  Scratch plan A, I'm not heading down the plot for parsnips!! So, cockle warming required ....

plan B - it will be marrow vegetable korma, with rice and perhaps some papadums on the side.

I had a chicken in the freezer in case it was needed over the holidays  So got it out to defrost yesterday.
Will have it roasted today, but it will last most of the week in various guises 
I'm determined not to do any more shopping, except for milk, for at least another 2 weeks... by then I should be able to defrost the freezer

Roast chicken here as well, depends which one of us cooks it as to what we have with it,but I think there’s a parsnip lurking in the garage from my last harvesting trip.

Looks like it's chicken all round as that's what we've got as well.  The only homegrown veg will be beans, either runner of broad which ever I meet first when I stick my head in the freezer.

Tonight it is the other half of the pork casserole, with sprouts.  It has stopped raining long enough to retrieve, with some parsnips.

Cold chicken here with the roast parsnips & sprouts I too harvested in lovely sunshine, with the leftover veg & potatoes from yesterday plus lovely gravy, oh & a Yorkshire pudding from the freezer.

Cold chicken with baked beans on a jacket spud, couple of celery sticks  - CBA again!

Pork stir-fry and veggie rice.  Apple and loganberry crumble for pud

Last night was roast venison sausages with roast veggies (pots, parsnips, onion, apple and squash) and onion gravy.  Good and simple after a trying afternoon.

This evening will be a cheesy squash, leek and potato dauphinoise.  Not exactly classical or lo calorie, but suitable for such 'orrible day!

Last night was sweet & sour chicken and the rest of the chicken is cooking in a mushroom sauce for tonight with veg and what's left will go into small pies for the freezer. It did well
