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!
It's nice to change the header for Christmas isn't it. :-)
DeleteI love "Fridge Scrape" meals. Tasty AND thrifty, what's not to like?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, and very filling too ... it ticked all the boxes. :-)
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the stragglers lurk behind other items just waiting to be found. :-)
DeleteThat looks tasty and filling - a winner!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a winner in my book. :-)
DeleteThat looks a tasty and filling meal and good use of the wee itty bits. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt's good to turn bits and pieces into a proper meal isn't it. :-)
DeleteThat is my sort of use it up omelette, so tasty. Sometimes I microwave a small potato and slice it in.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that would have been a good idea, maybe next time. :-)
DeleteThat food looks so good and no waste!
ReplyDeleteAngie
I can't stand waste, and I know you feel the same. :-)
DeleteThat looks delicious :-}
ReplyDeleteIt really was, and well worth the little bit of effort. :-)
DeleteThat looks like a very tasty omelet and a good way to use up some items that needed to be used up. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's very satisfying to get all the little bits and pieces out of the fridge isn't it. :-)
