I thought I might start a new monthly series on the blog called 'What we ate in a week' which is, as the title would suggest a post about the food we ate in a week! ;-)My plan is to start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and simply update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day so let's give it a go.... MondayWe made some really quick and easy fajitas for tea tonight with some sliced yellow and green peppers and red onion gently fried in a little olive oil with two chicken breasts that I remembered to get out of the freezer last … [Read more...]
Five reasons why you don’t meal plan….
If you already plan your meals in advance then this post probably isn't for you but if you don't you really should read on because planning your meals will save you time and money every single week!1) I don't have time! OK, I get that meal planning can take a little bit of time once a week but it's totally worth it for the time you save during the rest of the week.I spend about twenty minutes on a Sunday morning having a quick look at what food we already have in and writing a meal plan based on that which I then use to write my shopping list.That extra time on a Sunday morning … [Read more...]
Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup {Healthy, Delicious and great for Slimming World}….
This Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato soup has been in my top ten posts every single day since I published it way back in January 2016 and since I'm making a batch for the freezer right now, I thought I'd share it with you again today!Remember I told you that my favourite Christmas present last year was a soup maker?Well, the novelty hasn't worn off and I'm using it just as often as I predicted I would when I first wrote about it.Most soups that I make in there don't really have a recipe that I can share with you because more often than not, I literally just … [Read more...]
17 recipes that use jalapenos….
I seem to have rather a lot of jalapenos to use up so today, I'm going to share some of the more interesting recipes that use jalapenos that I've found on my search for inspiration.In case you're wondering why I have a lot of jalapenos to use up, it's because I discovered three unopened jars in my food cupboard when I was clearing it out last week. I knew I had one jar as I like to keep some in for nachos and to add to my slow cooker chilli but the extra two were hidden at the back where I rarely look as that's where I keep my hardly ever used things!I took a fair amount of the … [Read more...]
15 of my favourite ways to use up Leftover Gammon….
Gammon is one of the few meats that Master Frugal enjoys so we generally have it at least once a week. This means that meals that use up leftover gammon are regular additions to our meal plan.I always cook my gammon in the slow cooker - sometimes just in a little water, sometimes in Dr Pepper and sometimes in diet coke but however I cook it, it's always a family favourite. I always have enough leftover gammon for at least one or two other meals but I try to vary them as much as I can so it doesn't feel like we're constantly eating gammon. ;-)Here's a few of the things I … [Read more...]
Super Simple Slow Cooker Vegetarian Curry Recipe….
This super simple Slow Cooker Vegetarian Curry recipe is so tasty that you would never believe it takes so little effort to prepare!This week I bought two packets of prepared sweet potato and butternut squash from the reduced section. They were only 50p per pack which is great value considering I was planning to use it to make my favourite spicy sweet potato and butternut squash soup with.But then I realised that I'd somehow missed a vital ingredient for the next night's tea so it was a case of either popping to the shop to buy it or sacrificing my soup to use my sweet potato and … [Read more...]
