Nutella Pasties….
Today is World Nutella Day 2012 so it would be rude of me not to cook something using Nutella in honour of this special day....I was planning to cook my Nutella Cookies or make some cupcakes with Nutella frosting or even make some lovely Nutella mousse but when I found some ready rolled puff pastry on offer at the shop, I thought I might have a go at making some Nutella Pasties. Sounds weird I know, but actually they were really delicious and we're definitely going to be having them again....

Council Tax makes up a large part of your monthly expenditure so wouldn't it be great if you could reduce the amount you pay, and even better if you could get a nice fat cheque at the same time?Well, maybe you can.

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Homemade Burgers….
I never bothered with a meal plan last week as I was feeling a bit bleugh (if that's even a word), and as a result, without even looking at the receipts from last week's food shopping I can tell you that we went way over our weekly budget.As we didn't have a meal plan to stick to, we bought random things when we did our main shop and then got home and realised that the things we'd bought didn't really make up a weeks worth of meals. This meant that through the week we ended up making two extra trips to the shop for extra bits, both times buying more than what we went for. So this week, … [Read more...]
