Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Slow cooked brisket….
After the chaos of last week, we have a nice boring week ahead of us thank goodness.We're all feeling a bit bleugh at the minute to be honest.

This year, for the first year ever, we're having a few fireworks at home rather than going to a public firework display and I'm actually quite excited. A few friends are coming round tonight with their kids and I'm hoping the rain stays away so we can have a good night.Seeing as there will be 12 of us tonight, I'm making mini double chocolate chip cupcakes rather than full size ones so that I can do lots of different toppings and everyone can try a few and still have space left for the chilli I have cooking away in the slow cooker right now.The recipe for the cakes themselves is … [Read more...]
