Muffy I invested in a massive chest freezer years back and have always got plenty of stuff to eat. If I make say a chilli or a curry, i'll always make etc so I have some portions left for the freezer:) I buy my coffee beans in large packs, split them up and freeze them in portions too. And i keep me tea lights in there too...

My freezer didnt come with shelve/baskets
so I commandeered biscuit boxes.....I buy bacon/sausages chops,steak n stuff in bulk, line the boxes, wrap items into small portion sized parcels and pack it into them...before freezing...

Soup all made.........thumbs up from Youngest, myself, Mum, Dad and OH.....Lukewarm reaction from fussy eldest

It TASTES lovely but looks like a bowl of sn*t LOLOLOL

Thanks again Polly x

Cheese is lovely in soup,use the crumbly type like cheshire,soak it all up with chunks of garlick bread, it makes such a substantial meal you don't need anything else.

Leftover greens,throw on the compost heap,they still won't be wasted that way.

Haven't got a recipe to hand as not at home but why not look on culinary delights Thread...there are some great recipes on there and if anyone would add to the thread that would be much appreciated

Thanks

mix your cabbage with your mash and fry and you got bubble and squeak.

Hubby has been making loads of soup lately with all the veg from allotment lovely lunches it makes but i didnt get any of the roast tomato one last night as wasnt hungry and daughter and her boyfriend had double helpings lol.

I found a great recipe for baked cabbage and bacon .It's delicious.I just googled Recipes for cabbage.

LETS ONE RIPPPPPP

Mrs Grumpy now you tell us

Jill

I haven't eaten enough of yet for it to make any difference to my bowels LOL.

Jane.....I just googled that and it sounds right nice !!! Am adding that one to my list of dinners to cook next week xx

Muffy it is a bit of a faff chopping everything up at the same time of cooking.I find it better to chop and cut everything up way before I start to cook.I just have bundles of veg and bacon wrapped in cling film all in a row lol.So I can just chuck it all in and have a clear work top.

PS it's nice with sausages and mash

Dawnie I've just cooked extra mash and chopped some onions and cooked the cabbage ready to have some bubble with my Sunday fry up/

YUM lol xx

Brussels sprouts are real wind generators. I always secretly give them to my Zeus man a good few hours before OH takes him night fishing...and they sleep in the Bivvy together,,,,,,,,,*titters*

dont give a dog brocolli

its poison to them

Naughty Whirley LOL

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry cabbage and leek - keep testing and tasting - should be cooked but still crisp. Then add seeds and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
