I like making pesto out of salad bags that are about to go over, just give them a quick nuke to wilt them a little and blitz them up with standard pesto additions (watercress, rocket, spinach pesto using peanut butter is a particular fave).

I made a thing which was curried roast carrot, celery and onion that I then mixed into couscous and baked with yoghurt on top. That was boss

I got in a LOT of trouble for bring a pack of cheds home that had a slit in the side. It slit during transit! I swear!

I am now constantly being accused of bringing home tampered food.

I will now go with the ‘I was drying the cheese’ excuse. Thank you.

oooof. genius.

I think I’ve taken this idea off Jack Monroe, but any way around it’s a really quick way to get a pasta meal on the go and avoids waste

This is my whole approach to cookery really, either blend stuff or roast it and add some kind of carb item.
