Last week was the first week in ages that I shared my meal plan with you on this blog instead of hiding it away on my meal planning blog.I shared it here for a couple of reasons - the first one is because I'm a little embarrassed by how neglected my poor little meal planning blog is at the moment but the main reason is because this month I wanted to have a BIG focus on our meal planning.I almost always write a meal plan for the week but lately I haven't been spending as much time on it as I used to so meal planning of late has consisted of me hurriedly scribbling five meals down on a … [Read more...]
The most amazing homemade Guacamole you’ve ever tasted….
We're pretty new to the trendy world of avocados and guacamole but I think you'll agree that we've caught up fast with this amazing homemade Guacamole!When Miss Frugal and I went to New York last month we discovered Chipotle which is a kind of fast food chain but the food is Mexican and honestly, the most amazing food I've had in a long time. We had it for lunch on three of the days we were there as we enjoyed it so much and it was really good value for money compared to some of the other things we could have chosen from.We're a bit gutted that there's not a Chipotle near us … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {01 May 2017}….
I haven't shared a weekly meal plan on here for ages now, have I?I started posting them over on my meal planning blog each week but even that kind of gradually dropped off as life got too busy over the last few months to do anything but quickly scribble my plans on the back of an envelope in the 10 minutes before we went shopping.That 'method' of meal planning, although better than not meal planning at all, isn't great for us as I tend to stick to the same few meals when I do it that way simply because I know they're easy to shop for and easy to cook. This means we get bored with what … [Read more...]
Riso Al Salto – A great way to use up leftover risotto….
I love homemade risotto but it's one meal that I can never seem to get my portion sizes right and I almost always end up with more than we need for one meal which isn't a bad thing as I've found a great way to use up my leftover risotto - Riso al Salto. In fact, we love Riso al Salto that much that I do sometimes deliberately make extra just so we can have this for lunch the following day.Riso al salto is traditionally the way that leftover risotto would be used up in Italy but I've also made a Spanish version using leftover paella which is almost, but not quite as delicious.How to … [Read more...]

Unbelievably Good Roasted Tomatoes….
I've made my famous (in my own head) recipe for roasted tomatoes so so many times over the years and about six years after I first shared it with you, I decided to share it again as the photos and instructions in the first recipe were so poor that they didn't go even half way to showing you just how amazing this recipe really is!Roasted tomatoes with lime, garlic and chilli.... You should know me by now, I like my recipes to be super simple, super tasty and super cheap and this recipe for roasted tomatoes ticks all three boxes! All you need are some cherry tomatoes, two cloves of … [Read more...]
