You all know that I'll all about meal planning but for the last three weeks, I haven't planned a single meal. Want to know why?Three weeks ago, our fridge freezer decided to go on strike! By the time we realised, the whole freezer had defrosted and everything in the fridge felt way warmer than it should.Food-wise, we couldn't salvage much at all as the contents of the freezer were fully defrosted so we weren't sure how long it had been off for - I'm all about reducing waste but I couldn't bring myself to cook food or refreeze it in one of our other freezers where there was a chance … [Read more...]
