Sausage and Roasted Veg Pasta...

...made with leftover sausages and Med Veg from a weekend BBQ...after all, we're in a double dip recession now apparently, so definitely up for the "Waste Not, Want Not" challenge these days...

Fridge Raider Frittata...

...yesterday and today were work days for me...so dinners have needed to be quick and easy...and preferably able to clear some of the bits and pieces in the fridge...with that in mind I plumped for a frittata on Tuesday...Hubby and I enjoy a good frittata, and I do make 'proper' ones from time to time, but more often than not they are a way for me to use up those leftover veggies in the bottom of the fridge!! Yesterday's was one of those...and was going to be our midweek veggie night meal...however I found some bacon lurking in the fridge, and it just had to be added...but without it would be great too...



I found:
a leek
some celery
a few brussel sprouts
2 half peppers!
some mushrooms   
half a courgette
a few new potatoes
some bacon medallions
and of course some eggs...6 in this case...

What to do with leftover chicken...?

So I got home yesterday and looked in the fridge, knowing that tonight was leftover chicken night...My usual speedy solution is 'Cheats Chicken Pie Filling' which consists of sauteing a chopped onion, adding some garlic, some chopped bacon and cooking for a few minutes...add some chopped mushrooms and the chopped cooked leftover chicken, to this add a tin of condensed soup, your choice of flavour (mushroom, celery and chicken are all good ones to add), add a little milk to thin and cook until the chicken is heated through...either serve with a pastry top or as we do more often than not, with rice of mashed potato...But not last night!!!
