  • Welcome back for another video! Or if you are new then Welcome!!
    Join me as I stocktake my fridge, freezer & pantry and create a meal plan for the week ahead.
    One of the easiest ways to save money in the kitchen is to shop from your fridge, freezer & pantry first, and create meals that USE UP the items you already have.
    Once a week I try to find 3 things that have been lurking around, forgotten at the back of the pantry, freezer or fridge for longer than I'd like to admit ... and make a plan to use them up.
    Save money - eat what you've already got!

    I'm making the green pasta using brocolli, zucchini, marked down fresh pasta sauce and baby spinach. Love the tips and tricks it's helping both with my food budget, waste, and not overstocking stuff. Also we are jealous of the beautiful WA weather it's wet and miserable in Sydney. Thanks Jody Kerr.

      Thanks Jody! We're being pretty spoilt over here with the weather! The pasta sounds delicious 😋 Thank you so much for watching & all your support ❤️

    An idea would be to take the tofu and make a fancy saucy bake with your various sauces and alternate it with the tempeh for lunch in the Buddha bowls. Or simply make up a peanut satay sauce for it. That way you won't get bored. Another idea is a corn bread for a side. You've got polenta and flour, mix with the creamed corn etc. Sweet or savory. Freeze any leftovers and eat with your beans. There is always room for cornbread!

    Fried rice with a side of the spicy stir fry with pineapple would be a great use it. So many things go in. Beans and rice, black bean burgers and black bean tacos. Sounds like you have lots of great ideas.

    I would make lentil patties or
    lentil tacos. ( my family love them.)
    I’d also use up the tofu and make either a sweet and sour tofu, using up the pineapple. Or I would make a lemon pepper tofu, which uses up the tofu and some of the lemons both are served over rice with or without added vegetables.

    A recipe you could try are savoury muffins with a suitable savoury egg replacement.

    As a vegetarian I really loved these ideas for dinners! We travelled Australia for 3.5 months in a camper trailer in 2016 so I can totally relate to the small supermarkets/what they will have stocked/how much it will cost! I'm a bit jealous 😂 wish we were travelling again!
