Do I have the fussiest four year old in the world? I think so....He is such a fussy eater and has to be coaxed to eat anything different, which is why I tend to stick to the same meals on my meal plans. When I find something he likes, I stick with it until we all get sick of it.It's only in the last six months or so that he has started to be even slightly more adventurous. The Christmas before last he would only eat plain pasta (still his favourite food). He doesn't eat fish or meat, apart from sausages, and his dinner is usually ours minus any fish, meat or sauces.We try all sorts of things … [Read more...]
Meal Planning – the Slimming World Way
This week's meal plan is going to be be a bit of a nightmare. I have to plan for a fussy eating 4 year old, a can't cook, won't cook other half and on top of that, I need to make sure that it's Slimming World friendly!I think until I have got the hang of being back on Slimming World I'm going to eat simple things that I'm familiar with rather than try anything elaborate or time consuming, more for the fact that I will be cooking separate meals for me initially. Once I've got my head round it I will introduce it more to the rest of the family and gradually try to adapt our family favourites to … [Read more...]
All By Myself….
Actually I'm not completely on my own but it is just me and the kids tonight as Mr Frugal has very cleverly agreed to do a night shift at work tonight. Seriously, why would anyone work the night shift if they didn't have to.He says its because I am off tomorrow and he thought that we could spend the day together! He over looked the fact that when he got in at eight in the morning he would be too tired to do anything other than go to bed....Bless him, he didn't quite think it through did he?Tea tonight for the kids was Macaroni Cheese leftovers that I froze last time I made it. To be honest, it … [Read more...]

My Way
Did anyone used to watch Newsround when they were younger? I always used to because it was on just before something I used to watch (Byker Grove maybe) and I used to love the way that they always featured stories that were relevant and interesting to the younger audience. I don't really watch the news these days because its too depressing although I read newspapers over peoples shoulders on my train every morning lol.Anyway, back to my point, one of the websites that I let Miss Frugal look at on the internet is kind of like an online Newsround for young children. First News publish a weekly … [Read more...]
I am never going to be a Domestic Goddess….
I am never, ever going to be a Domestic Goddess - No matter how hard I try, I always end up doing something wrong.I have just tried to make cinnamon buns from here and I managed to mess up a really simple recipe. It was all going so well and they are in the oven now but I have a feeling that they are not going to taste nice as I forgot to activate the dried yeast. Actually I didn't forget, I just didn't have a clue that you have to mix dried yeast with water to activate it. I just poured it in to my mixture and only realised that I had a problem when the dough didn't rise as much as I was … [Read more...]
