I have been so careful for a long time now not to waste anything. Wasted food is good money thrown away and bad for the environment to boot.
I build meals around the things that I find loitering with intent for far too long in the fridge, and just recently I have pretty much caught up with the stragglers. I do still have to be careful though when I take things out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge ... and then forget about them, because then the backlog starts again.
This late breakfast was a real mash-up of bitty bits. The free Flora pot that I brought home from the garden centre, the two wrinkliest of the little sweet peppers from the veg drawer, a random slice of red onion, two spinach pellets from the freezer and a couple of eggs.
All added together and cooked in my small frying pan it made for the tastiest of meals, and remarkably filling for the size of it. I even managed to turn it over in the pan to cook the other side, and slide it out onto the plate without breaking it
Wonders will never cease. 😃

Love the Christmassy header pic!
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a recipe for that exact same breakfast as a 'delicious brunch' in a glossy magazine! Looks yummy!
I love "Fridge Scrape" meals. Tasty AND thrifty, what's not to like?
ReplyDeleteI could just eat that I haven't had my breakfast yet! I love your word stragglers too - I will think of that everytime I venture into our fridge seeking them out!
