Eating from what we have

Things have been a bit "tight" this month with unexpected expenses - 2 cars breaking down, a minor medical procedure for me, extra kids sport costs...and so they tally up.

I decided to challenge myself to only plan meals for the next two weeks from what we have in the garden, pantry and freezer.

Today for lunch I took my inspiration from Jane's Delicious Kitchen and improvised on one of her salads.

Not having gorgonzola, walnuts or lettuce, I went with haloumi, pine nuts and rocket.

On a bed of washed rocket add sliced avo, fried haloumi, toasted pinenuts, quatered figs.

The dressing was equal parts mayonaise and yoghurt with a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce and a good handful of chopped chives.

Served with our sweetcorn it was a filling satisfying lunch.
