Simply Being Mum’s Friday Fridge
It was back to school at Chez Wright this week, or more accurately back to school for first born and starting school for second born. It’s been a busy week!
Regardless, food waste, or rather the elimination of it, is always firmly in mind, so I’ve been keeping a close on my my fridge and perishables.
This weeks suspects were (I say were as we are now post dinner!)
2 Eggs
Cauliflower
The other items in the fridge you can see are well in date staple items I plan to use next week… oh and a tub of baking margarine as I had an impromptu two-tier Christening Cake to make today for Sunday!
To use up the eggs (I had six more for the cake sat on the counter I had to grab on the way back from the school run), I decided an end of first week at school treat was in order. Since returning from France the Kids have been requesting Crepes. The cauli will be made in cauliflower cheese tomorrow accompanied by Toad In The Hole and frozen veggies.
Simply Being Mum’s version of Crepes – Pancakes with Vanilla and Honeycomb Ice-Cream and Maple Syrup
I admit not the healthiest meal, but everything in moderation and it’s not an everyday occurrence.
It went down well…
The Hubby will be tucking into slow cooked spag bol that I froze from a batch I did the other day. Normally Friday Night is Date Night at Chez Wright, but I am off out to see a Queen Tribute band with Mom and Big Sis.
See you tomorrow Guys for my first Simple Meal Plan in a long time…
(update – no meal plan posted on 10th as I was elbow deep in icing!)
How’s your Fridge looking this Friday? Does No Waste Taste Great at your house, or can’t you see the butter for the cheese and condiments in your Fridge?

simplybeingmum says
Yay for empty fridges – how satisfying!!
Yes we are back to packed lunches… still struggling for ideas though… I’ve started adding sweet popcorn (not toffee) instead of chocolate every couple of days. It’s economical also as at Home Bargains you can get it really cheap and a bag lasts a while. How are you packed lunches going?
sharron says
I’m struggling a bit to be honest, they are a bit ‘samey’ as said by my Daughter!! I’ve started putting in nutrigrain bars (aldis equivilant) instead of chocolate and i was going to have a go at making flapjacks, ya all should know that i’m not a lover of baking and cooking so i was thinking freezing them so i have enough for a couple of weeks, but agin it will get ‘samey’…..
