This is a bit of a back to front meal plan because I'm going to tell you what we ate last week instead of what we'll be eating this week.....Seeing as last week was National Vegetarian Week we decided to have a (mostly) veggie week which was great for me because it gave me a bit of an excuse to cook a few different things as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with our meals at the moment. I've got back into the habit of cooking the same old meals which is not only boring but it also makes me feel a bit bleugh about cooking so I'm more tempted to not stick to the week's plan.The veggie meals … [Read more...]

Family Friendly Frugal meals – Slow Cooker Chicken Curry….
My freezer is full of supermarket bargains at the minute so we're going to have a cheap week this week hopefully. I managed to get a ham joint reduced to £2.30 the other day so I've cooked that and what we didn't use for tea was sliced up and made up into a few small portions that were put in separate sandwich bags and added to the freezer. I can use them for the wraps on Monday and the pizza on Wednesday. We also got some reduced chicken and cod as well which will do for Tuesday and Thursday night's teas and I even got some cheap sausages for the casserole on Friday night. I know I'm … [Read more...]

This weeks meal plan – the leftovers from the freezer week….
This week I've been testing out a new meal planning tool which lets you put input one or more ingredients into it and then gives you a selection of recipes that you can choose from to use up your ingredients. I'm hoping it's going to help me empty my freezer of the random leftovers and bits and bobs that I've bought from the reduced section lately.I do like the meal planner as it gives inspiration on what you can cook using what you already have in. A lot of the recipes are using US based ingredients though and some of them involve some ingredients that I would never usually have in. … [Read more...]
