I definitely take after my late granny. I’m budget savvy and I always love a special. It often means, however, that things go to waste. I tend to buy fresh fruit and vegetables that, if you don’t cook that day, have to be turfed.
I soon learnt that the best thing to do with those types of fresh produce, is to freeze them. Which is exactly what I did here.
I bought a head of cauliflower that wasn’t looking so hot. When I got home I chopped it up and popped it into the freezer. With it being summer in Durbs, I came home from work, basically melting. To my delight I found my cauliflower in the freezer. I quickly added a few bits and pieces, popped it back into the freezer and voila…(very low calorie) heaven in a bowl.
