Over the last few years, I've read a lot of articles about what do do with a fussy eater to encourage them to try new things, all of them offering advice on how to make your fussy eater less of a fussy eater. As you might know, Master Frugal is quite possibly the fussiest eater on the planet and I've tried all sorts to try and encourage him to eat more. I've tried a food reward chart (as made by Jen), I've tried making faced out of his food, I've told him he cant have desert if he doesn't eat his tea - in fact I think I've tried everything.Every now and again, he would try a tiny bit of … [Read more...]
I’m having a moment….
Only one more day left and then another school year will be over.Miss Frugal is going up into Year 5 and Master Frugal is going to be moving up to the dizzy heights of Year 3 where apparently you get to play in the big playground 'away from those little kids'.Funnily enough though, it's not the knowledge that they're both moving up a year at school that's made me feel a little bit sad tonight. It's the fact that when I cleaned the front of my fridge earlier on tonight, they both decided they were too old for all the 'babyish' fridge magnets.They're not particularly special fridge … [Read more...]
Slimming World Quiche Muffins….
For the last few months (up until I went on my holidays), I've been following the Slimming World plan (on a budget) and I've lost just over a stone altogether.It would have been a stone and a half but the half went back on while I was on my holidays!In an effort to be frugal I wasn't going to a Slimming world group, I was going it alone using some books that a friend gave to me but it was hard work. There was no one to swap ideas and recipes with, no one to really motivate me and no major reason why I couldn't have a bit of a treat and start again the next day.... Or the next.... Or … [Read more...]

Get Organised – the very busy week edition….
We're having one of those weeks this week where we don't have a spare minute but I'm determined to keep on top of the housework and everything else that I need to do so I'm still going to do this week's Get Organised post - even though I cheated a little bit and got Master Frugal to write up the menu plan.TuesdayParents night for Miss Frugal Football for Master Frugal General tidy up ready for tomorrow as I've got some friends coming. round for tea. I'm on week two of my new start to Slimming World and I want to have a good search on the internet for some inspiration. I … [Read more...]
Chocolate Marshmallow Fluff cake….
We have found the most delicious new treat to use in our baking - Marshmallow Fluff.It's basically just spreadable fluffy marshmallow goo but it tastes delicious, and is really versatile - we've used it in cakes, hot chocolate, melted as an ice cream topping, on toast and actually, just eaten off the spoon straight out of the jar. It's really sweet and a little bit really does go a long way.Two tablespoons has 40 calories and no fat which isn't bad considering how sweet it tastes and the jar itself cost us about £1.80 if I remember rightly.On a Sunday night, I usually make … [Read more...]
