My aim for January is to reduced the amount of food we waste in our house as we do end up throwing away a lot of unused food so I came up with this by simply mixing a bunch of random ingredients from my fridge together that needed to be used up. I've linked the recipes in the ingredients for the the chilli con carne and pico de gallo.

With the pico de gallo, it was intended to be used as pico de gallo but I got distracted and ended up blitzing it to the point it was simply mush so I froze it until I could think of something to use it in.

There was perhaps a small bowl sized portion of chilli con carne which I added into the pasta last minute. It actually turn quite good for a random mixture of ingredients and leftovers.
