So it's the end of
the week (thank God!!). Opening my fridge there is a random mix of food ... So I need to get creative and think of economic ways to use everything in
my fridge and cupboards before I have to go shopping again. This is especially
the case when you are cooking for one and the fresh food goes off extremely
quickly. Additionally, being a uni student means I am always broke so I'm
putting off going shopping for as long as possible!
At the moment on my
shelf in the fridge there are; peppers, hummus, spinach, carrots, milk,
bananas, eggs, kiwis and yoghurt. There is also jars of green pesto and
Moroccan tagine paste (a lifesaver for transforming a bland meal). My cupboard
has the basics such as tinned tomatoes, red lentils, pasta and rice. So using
these ingredients I have to create as many meals as possible! By planning meals
now it means that I use the ingredients - saving money, eat healthily and don't
have the added stress of thinking about what I am going to eat.
The dinner menu for
the next couple of days is:
- Pesto pasta with roasted peppers
- Carrot Risotto with hummus
- A pepper filled with carrot risotto
- Spinach filled omelette
- Red lentil soup
That's me sorted
until Tuesday ...
