I've always wondered how to separate an egg without making a mess as I usually end up getting my hands covered in egg when I try to do it and it often takes me more than one attempt to do it right!Not so long ago, someone at work told me what their secret was to separating eggs and at the time I remember that I just nodded my head and smiled whilst thinking to myself that their method would clearly never work.But then last night when we were making sugar mice we needed to separate an egg so I decided to give it a go and to my amazement, it actually worked so I enlisted Miss Frugal's … [Read more...]

Everything stopped while we … [Read more...]
#SummerofFrugalFun – Cooking with kids….
One of our favourite stay at home activities is baking (and eating the results).I try and stay away from anything complicated as I just want them to enjoy being in the kitchen at this age and we like to make it as fun as possible so colourful sprinkles are definitely the way to go in our house and you certainly can't be precious about what the end result looks like when there's a child in charge.Last week Miss Frugal made some chocolate cupcakes on her own while I sat and played on my laptop watched her and they turned out looking very different to how I would have made them (gold … [Read more...]
