When I have veges left over I put them in the pot with other veges for the last 5 minutes the next day.

We don’t do leftovers in our home. What self respecting “Oily-Ragger” does? We have “the fixings for a Smorgasbord”, which happens every Friday night. Any and all leftovers are nuked, baked or snavelled from the depths of the freezer and fridge and popped on the table. Smorgy Night. No takeaways for my clan. And surprisingly […]

Fritters are a good way to use up left-overs. If making fritters with meat or fish, you will find a little goes a long way. Sweetcorn fritters are also a yummy snack. Keep a can of corn in the pantry for unexpected visitors.
