The freezer challenge, day 44

Yesterday's chilli made with leftovers from Sunday was lovely.  To the tomato mixture I added a bit of leftover ham and lentil soup, some chilli puree and some water, then I cooked the rice in the pan with the mixture so the rice starch thickened everything.  It was lovely!  Not authentically chilli, more like a savoury rice, but I don't care, it made good use of leftovers and tasted good: that's the bottom line.

Today's plans:
B:  left over chilli rice from yesterday, a bit of toast and jam, apple
L:  soup from the freezer, orange
D:  frittata, salad and coleslaw.

From the freezer:
bread for toast
soup
mixed peppers
bit of corn


Down the allotment there is chard.  It was planted initially to feed some guinea pigs because that's got to be cheaper than buying fresh veg for them, hasn't it?
It's grown wonderfully well and looks so pretty and tempting that is seems a terrible waste not to at least try it so I shall use some instead of spinach in a frittata and see.  Fingers crossed.
