Here we are again at clean fridge Friday, or as the originator Kristen at the the frugal girl and her co-host on alternate weeks Jo at simply being mum calls it foodwastefriday#.
The fridge was quite full, as is normal in our house so I went through the usual routine pulling everything out and putting it on the work surfaces. Then I cleaned out the fridge. Checked the dates on everything and replaced everything that was in date.
This week I wrote a list of everything that I put back into the fridge and the expiry date on them, so that I can work out our menu plan based on what we have left.
We have quite a few carrots and a bunch of coriander that will need to be used up in the next couple of days so I am going to make carrot and coriander soup (which surprisingly the children like!) for lunch.
For our food waste I think this week is a little better than last week but still not great!
There was some leftover potatoes salad from a barbeque we had with friends, at the weekend, I made far too much. We did have some with our dinner on Monday and also added it to a few lunches but we still had leftovers.
Four slices of ham and a couple of slices of tomatoes, Jo from solstice-days.blogspot.co.uk suggested last week that I should make a quiche with my leftovers. This is a great idea and I can see from my list of what I have left in the fridge I have some eggs, ham, tomatoes, mozzarella and red onion that will need to be used up, so a quiche or omelettes will be on my menu plan for next week to try and reduce our waste further.
Happy Friday!
