Nutella Mousse – Perfect for Christmas (or any other time)….
You really can't go wrong with a pudding made from just three ingredients can you? Especially when one of the three ingredients is Nutella....Nutella Mousse 170g Greek yoghurt or fromage frais 250g Nutella 1 Milky Bar (or something else to top the mousse with to make it look pretty)Whisk the Nutella and the Yoghurt together and pour into a serving dish. Grate some white chocolate over the top and pop in the fridge until it’s time to serve it.I tend to add a little (or a lot) of Baileys to the mix for a more grown up version of this mousse and I think it would probably be … [Read more...]
Frugal Christmas – How to make a Gingerbread House….
This year we decided to make a Christmassy Gingerbread House, largely because Miss Frugal saw a beautiful one in the school raffle and misguidedly thought that we could make one that looked just as good! It didn't work out quite as planned but it looks presentable so I thought I'd share how to make one with you so you can make your very own....To make the Gingerbread you need: 350g plain flour 175g brown sugar 100g butter 1 egg 5 tablespoons of golden syrup 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 2 teaspoons of ginger (we used more because we love the smell of the ginger)Add the flour, … [Read more...]

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Cheats Naan Bread Pizza
Guess what? After more than two months of being ill and four (possibly 5) courses of antibiotics and steroids, I think I actually feel better! I have gone a whole day without having a mad coughing fit and I have my voice back enough that I can actually hold a conversation without squeaking at some point.This weeks meal plan reflects the fact that I finally feel able to cook properly again - we've had lots of slips up recently where I have been too tired/ill/miserable to cook so we've had more ready meals and takeaways lately than I would like to admit but in my defence, I just haven't … [Read more...]
