I'm not normally one for making food look pretty but last week I spotted some lovely looking orange peppers in the reduced section at the shop and as soon as I spotted them, I knew exactly what I was going to make with them - Halloween Pumpkin Peppers!And I don't even care that there's still a month left until Halloween!Halloween pumpkin peppers are so easy to make and they can be prepared in advance of when you want to cook them which makes them even better in my eyes. I made these guys when I was on a late shift at work last week and left them in the fridge for Mr Frugal and the kids … [Read more...]

My homemade roasted tomato soup is absolutely amazing and I guarantee that once you've made it once, you'll make it again and again!I love the smell (and taste) of tomatoes that are sold on the vine as it reminds me of watering the tomatoes with my dad in his greenhouse when I was a child.
