Day 2 – Store Cupboard Cookery
I’m back, welcome to day 2 of my diary blog. Today I thought I’d share a bit of Store Cupboard Cookery. Yesterday was my painting day so today I decided to do a cookery day.
I was not one of those people rushing to the shops to buy the supermarket up. Anyone who knows me will know food shopping is my least favourite thing to do. I was definitely not going to join in with the panicked crowds and strip the stores dry.
It got me thinking however how much food we actually have at home already. I really can’t remember the last time I checked the back of the food cupboards or exactly what the freezer held. Today I have taken it upon me to see how many dinners I could make with the food supply I have. I was surprised to calculate enough food for at least a couple of weeks.
Backs of cupboards, great places to find those tins we had forgotten about along with freezer goodies being frozen for decades! How many of you have stocks of tins that just keep getting pushed to the back of the cupboards?
Time to try some new recipes.
I don’t think it will be good enough for Raymond Blanc, certainly no a la carte, but I’m sure I’ll like it and hubby. Oh dear, my husband has just come indoors to see what I am up to. I mentioned I am doing a SPECIAL, he started to look worried. Think he’d like to get a take away instead! It’s not going to happen…
Some food I found in my cupboards, fridge, and freezer.
- Chicken (leftover from Sunday roast)
- A couple of potatoes
- Tin of tomatoes
- Tin of Kidney beans
- Vegetable stock cube (think might have been out of date, whoops).
- Tin of sweetcorn
- Frozen carrots
- Bit of ginger spice (I have oodles of spices that I don’t use enough)
- Salt and pepper
Hey presto, made a meal, enough for 4.
So easy, emptied all into a casserole dish, covered with foil and put in the oven at 180 degrees for an hour.
Bon appetite, my delicious bowl of food, yummy.
What stock cupboard recipes have you tried? I have some spinach I need to eat up so I need some ideas for this.
Thanks for reading and please leave me a comment.
Sending hugs to all, keep safe, well and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
