Have an easy week with these simple recipes including how to use up leftovers 💰💰💰

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader

This week I've been focusing a lot on leftovers. With two kids now at university, my food shopping has really changed, and I'm having to get used to cooking a different amount of food for our dinner each night. I've also taken the opportunity to revisit the freezer, and we've been having lots more 'Eat the Freezer' nights. One of my food waste tips is to make sure you regularly eat meals from your freezer. It also gives a lovely opportunity for a night off cooking and saves on takeaway costs.

Leftovers Recipe

Chicken and Chorizo Risotto

A great way to use up leftover chicken – especially if you've only got a small quantity.

Eat One Freeze One

Quorn Lasagne

This lasagne uses Quorn instead of meat. Quorn is a great replacement and freezes well. You can, of course, make this with meat. Pork has a lower carbon footprint than beef.

Sausage Pasta Bake

Tasty, economical, and perfect for using up leftover veg.

This Week's Fish Recipe

Fish Korma

An easy fish curry that's not too spicy. Made with yoghurt rather than cream, which makes it much healthier.

This Week's Snack Recipe

Rice Pudding

Making your own rice pudding is very cheap, and you can control how much sugar you put in. Make a batch and keep it in the fridge for 4 - 5 days.
