Nutella fudge is something that I've been meaning to make for at least the last two years but I've never actually got round to making it though because there are at least a million Nutella fudge recipes online (me, exaggerate?) and each one of them seems a little different.I've read comments on posts where people have had a disaster with theirs not setting and I've also read comments where it hasn't been Nutella-y enough. Wasting perfectly good Nutella is not something my children would forgive me for so I just never ended up making it.But when I was planning my Christmas … [Read more...]
Homemade delicious and creamy slow cooker rice pudding….
Sometimes, when the skies are grey outside and you're not feeling your best, the best thing for you is some good old fashioned home cooked comfort food and the best comfort food I know is our gorgeous slow cooker rice pudding! Yesterday afternoon was one of those afternoons where comfort food was called for but seeing as I wasn't feeling great, I called on Master Frugal to take over the kitchen and make us a batch.Slow cooker rice pudding really is easy to make yet it tastes so delicious and always makes me feel better. I make it with milk or occasionally if I have some in the house, … [Read more...]
Halloween Chocolate Bark Recipe….
Aaaagh - I've had a blog related trauma and the original of this post has been eaten so I'm having to re-write it and as always is the case, I can't get it to sound as good as the first time around. ;-)Miss Frugal and I made some Halloween chocolate bark the other day which turned out brilliantly - it tasted delicious and even more importantly (when you're 14 years old) it looked brilliant so we thought we'd share it with you today so you could have a go at making your own. Halloween chocolate bark 1 large bar of cooking milk chocolate 1 smaller bar white cooking chocolate Some spooky … [Read more...]
10 easy meal ideas for kids to cook for the family….
I was feeling rather pleased with myself when I shared last week's meal plan because I'd worked really hard in the few weeks before to make sure we had a week's worth of meals in the freezer so that in the days after my operation, we didn't have to worry about what we'd be eating (or rather I didn't have to worry about the kids being subjected to Mr Frugal's cooking).I'm not sure what I was expecting recovery wise but I kind of had last Friday in my head as the day that I'd be up and about and well enough to be pottering about so I made sure that I had enough meals ready to go to last us … [Read more...]
Easy Packed Lunch Pizza Swirls…. #PowerofFrozen
I don't know where I'd be without my freezer and the second freezer that I bought has probably paid for itself twice over in the short time we've had it as it's given me space to not only store reduced food bargains that I find but also to build up a bit of a freezer storecupboard.The recipe I'm sharing today for Pizza Swirls is made using a lot of my freezer storecupboard ingredients so before I share the recipe, I thought you might like to hear a bit about some of the things I keep in my storecupboard freezer drawer.First up, I have a stock of ready made pastry. I love ready rolled … [Read more...]
Fun Food For Kids – Rainbow fritters….
With less than a week left of the Summer Holidays we're trying to squeeze as much fun out of the time we have left before the kids are back at school and I'm back at work.Yesterday was an amazing day which was filled with fun from the moment the kids woke up to homemade waffles for breakfast to the amazing rainbow fritters they made us all for tea with a trip to the local beach and paddling pool in between the two lovely meals.The fritters were mixed by Master Frugal and cooked by his big sister which meant that all I had I had to do was sit at the dining room table and enjoy their … [Read more...]
