Do you have any idea what a 'dump' recipe is?I didn't until I started researching batch cooking recipes but now, thanks to Pinterest, I can tell you that a dump recipe is a recipe that you put together in a zip-lock bag (or other container) and put in the freezer before cooking.You then get it out the night before you're ready to cook it so it's defrosted in time for when you're ready to cook it and because you've already prepared the ingredients, you don't have to do anything else other then cook it either in the slow cooker or in the oven. Lemon and Garlic Chicken 'Dump' Recipe 3 … [Read more...]
Five Ingredient Five Minute Chilli {Slimming World} {Slow Cooker} {Batch Cooking}….
It's no secret that I prefer easy, simple to prepare recipes when I'm cooking. Mainly because I seem to have very little time spare to spend in the kitchen but also because I'm a little bit lacking in the necessary kitchen skills needed to cope with complicated recipes (by complicated, I mean anything that involves more than two pans ;-)).This probably explains the love I have for my slow cooker - I get to throw everything in, give it a mix and then leave it for most of the day before serving a delicious home cooked meal.My recipe for chilli is a great example of how easy it it to … [Read more...]
A beginners guide to batch cooking – 10 top tips to help you get started…..
Today's post is dedicated to my new favourite thing - Batch Cooking.Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be one of those die-hard batch cooking people who spend a whole day every month batch cooking meals to last them for the next four weeks but I do want to take what I already do one step further now that I have a little more freezer space than I had before.I'm going to consciously cook more foods that I can double up on so that I can gradually build up a stock of meals in the freezer and I'm hoping to gradually up my game a bit and find more recipes that are freezer friendly and … [Read more...]
Homemade Doner Kebab {Slow Cooker} {Slimming World} {Fakeaway}….
Today I'm going to share with you my amazing homemade doner kebab recipe which I'm pretty sure you're going to love as much as we love! Mr Frugal is partial to the odd Doner Kebab - usually swimming in grease and smothered in garlic sauce - and without fail, he always regrets eating it within about an hour of finishing it.So, after hearing about a version of homemade Doner Kebab that you can make in the slow cooker I decided to give it a go and see if my own version could hit the spot like the greasy kebab shop version does.I looked at lots of different versions of this … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {6th April 2015}….
We're in week two of the Easter Holidays here and as I predicted last week, the school holidays played havoc with the meals I had planned. We didn't even have the traditional Easter Sunday roast as we were having too much fun in the garden to come in and make it. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it was replaced by a picnic lunch and fish finger sandwiches for tea. ;-)Anyway, let's see if we can stick to this week's plan.... MondayI'm trying to make homemade Doner Kebab for tea tonight which could go either way. If it works, I'll share the recipe and if it doesn't, then it will … [Read more...]
Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins….
After last week's mini egg omelettes success I thought I'd try making them again but this time I made them with the intention of using up some broccoli and grated cheese that was left over from when I made macaroni cheese with broccoli and bacon last night. They were even more delicious than last weeks version!Don't worry, I'm not going to share a different egg muffin recipe each week - this one was too good not to share though.... Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins 4 eggs (beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned) Broccoli Grated cheese Leftover ham if you have someGrease a … [Read more...]
