Over the last little while, I have noticed that the term 'reverse meal planning' coming up in some of the vlogs I watch, usually but not exclusively the 'frugal' vlogs.
Is this a New Thing, this latest frugal trend? Well - no, not exactly! I Googled the term and it said:
Reverse menu planning, also known as backward menu planning, is when you take an inventory of what you have on hand and then plan a menu around those items. This is the opposite of how regular menu planning works, where you plan your menu and then shop for all the ingredients.
So there you go - story of my life! For once, I am bang on trend without realising it. It just goes to show that everything goes round in circles, doesn't it? Reverse planning indeed! I just call it using your common sense and not wasting food/money!
What I ate today:
One and a half syns for chia seeds and mixed seeds.
Dessert was an orange.
One healthy extra A and one B, one syn for the cranberry sauce and two syns for the salad dressing.
I softened onion, pepper, mushroom and shredded sprouts in some evoo before adding some passata made with home grown tomatoes and some tomato puree plus seasonings and half a tbsp bulgur wheat.
When that was all cooked I topped it with some cheese and baked it in Nellie until the cheese had melted and browned.

It was loads without any other veg.
Afters was a pear.
One healthy extra A and three syns for cheese and three syns for evoo. I also had another nibble of cheese to three more syns.
Summary:
two healthy extra As
one healthy extra B
thirteen and a half syns - bit high! Oh, well.
