Using up

Today is using up day, all the bits and bobs left in the fridge before replenishing stocks at the supermarket tomorrow. I gathered all the leftovers from the fridge drawers and had enough to make some roasted vegetables, the hardest part is the peeling and chopping, even a child could do it...under supervision of course. After all the chopping and adding a few cherry tomatoes and some going soft Jersey Royals I had enough for a large oven tray.

I added salt and black pepper half a cup of water, I find this creates steam and cooks the veggies better, it also evaporates towards the end of the cooking, spray with Frylight or drizzle with oil if you don't have to watch the calories and bake in a hot oven, mine was 195*c fan oven for about an hour or so until soft and slightly browned.

It smells divine, I could just tuck into this with a hunk of crusty bread! 

Portioned up for the freezer, small portions for one as hubby doesn't care for it and one in a dish for my tea with some salmon and chopped salad, again using up the salad stuff.

Delicious! 

Edited to add a photo of my tea, hubby had chilli and rice from the freezer :-)

We used the last baking potatoes for tea last night with some half fat grated cheese and home cooked ham from the weekend for hubby.

Smaller plate for me and a drizzle of extra light mayo.  I'm watching portion sizes just now after a 6 lb gain from my holidays!! Shocking gain but worth every ounce :-)

This afternoons job is menu planning and writing the shopping list ready for tomorrow.

It's bitterly cold here today, so its been a batten down the hatches and put the heating on kind of day not what we want on the 1st of June!!

Have a good day, whatever you choose to do take care.

Back soon
