So yesterday I made my weekly vegetable soup and I thought hey why don’t I cook lentils at the same time?! Share a lot of the same ingredients like onion garlic etc. so for just about the same amount of work I ended up with two dishes, one cleanup. How did I never think of this before??😸

I do that when I’m making a casserole.I always think why waste the time when I could cut up a few extra carrots/Onions for soup.good use of time isn’t it.yesterday I made a lamb casserole and I cut some extra potatoes so I could make a hot packed lunch for hubbys work.I do that with stews or fish dishes for him too,sandwiches can be boring day in day out.x
I will be so sad if people start posting “We all do that, you mean it never occurred to you??!” 😬😅
