I apologize for the not-so-great photos, living in darkness makes for very challenging food photography
According to the Canadian Food Network Facebook Group, yesterday was Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. The challenge was to make David Rocco’s Clean Out the Fridge Frittata. I found out too late and had already made and eaten a large serving of scrambled eggs but love this idea. So I have decided that I am going to eat my fridge this week. Yup, I am going to go through the fridge and the freezer and come up with meals to indulge in that will save me money and free up space. Want to join me?!

The first meal I have tackled is chicken with potatoes, based on Laura Calder’s recipe for Pork Chops with Potatoes. I had a lot of chicken in the freezer and needed a meal that could last a couple of dinners. Sadly this conversion from pork to chicken did not work very well and all the wine and broth seemed to evaporate too quickly leaving my dinner very dry but I did not despair!
I made a mushroom gravy for it with garlic, shallots and white wine and it was delicious. I served it with roasted fennel and parmesan, as well as homemade garlic bread. Rustic, creamy, saucy and starchy… a good way to begin Eat Your Fridge Week.
So what is in your fridge or freezer that has been there too long and is taking up too much space? How will you eat your fridge this week? I hope you join me!
Eat your fridge is our way of life. š No, really, I´ve been doing “fridge sauces” and “fridge stews” for years. š Whatever is in your fridge goes into the meal. It makes for some great yummy discoveries and dome yucky mistakes. *giggle*
I learnt the French Lavoisier law (conservation of mass)from my mom “Nothing is lost, everything is transformed”. What you did not eat up would reappear with a different form. š
even in the dark the pictures look scrumptious!
