The kitchen cupboards are fairly shambolic and I’m using up half packets and bits of things that weren’t used up in the Christmas baking. Last weekend I made Nigella’s Christmas Rocky Road using old Marie biscuits, raisins, almonds ( not the hazelnuts pictured) and bags of choc bits instead of amaretti biscuits, glace cherries, Brazil nuts and good cooking chocolate. It was delicious regardless and the greedy boys ate the contents of the tray in 2 days.
I found a can of apricot nectar not used in the Christmas punch and am trying to come up with a way to use it. NOT APRICOT CHICKEN – both kids detest it as it seems to be a standard meal on every school camp they attend.
Maybe a cocktail……?
I’m also using the Internets to come up with good/ different salad recipes to use what I have in the fridge – “ sun dried tomatoes and pasta” came up with a beauty, also “grated carrot salad” ( who knew?) Yum.
Also, while I think of it Beck and Ramona from handmadelife are each doing a new food blog:
Beck is writing about daily breakfast and Ramona about every day family dinner. I am loving these and am getting lots of cooking inspiration from them.
freeze apricot nectar (I lurve apricot nectar) in ice cube tray and then blitz them with yoghurt and a splash of water to make apricot lassi.....
ReplyDeleteyum for brekky on a hot morning!
if I drank alcohol I'd be around for nectar cocktails in a flash!

oh that lassi sounds good, thank you lovely
DeleteThat lassi sounds very refreshing. And if you make it soonish a real apricot or two blitzed in with would also be nice.
ReplyDeleteJust add a little apricot nectar to a larger amount of whisky. This should use up the nectar in no time.
