frozen veg

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but Iceland is our nearest “supermarket”, and we’re in and out of there every couple of days; it’s literally at the top of the road. We’ve moved more to frozen veg these days, less waste, and it’s always there, so here’s what we keep in: carrots (I tend to…
