I've just had a tidy out of my kitchen cupboards! I'm not sure what came over me - I went in to the kitchen to make a cuppa, noticed how messy the cutlery drawer was and it just spiralled out of control from there.... I found all sorts of weird and wonderful things, including cider vinegar that I have no recollection of buying, vanilla sugar that I forgot I had and lots of herbs and spices that I have no clue what to do with. One thing I did find that I was quite pleased with was a small amount of pudding rice so I thought that I would cook the kids some homemade rice pudding for after … [Read more...]
Cooking With Kids….
Last week I told you all about my new Cooking with Kids challenge and I really hope that as many of you as possible will join in with me. Basically, the idea is that I will post a recipe here on a Monday and you will have two weeks to make the recipe and either post about in or if you'd prefer, send me an e mail with your pics in it in that in two weeks time I can do a carnival type post containing links to all entries (lots of linky love for you) and I will ask someone, probably whoever's on Twitter at the time, to pick me a winner who will then be sent a lovely prize.We're going to … [Read more...]
Three in a bed….
Over the last month or so, Master Frugal has started sneaking into our bed in the middle of the night and snuggling in between us. He's such an expert at it now that he can climb in, get himself under the quilt and manage to half push one of us out of the bed before we wake up. There doesn't seem to be any underlying reason for him wanting to sleep with us, it's just that when he gets up in the night to go to the toilet, he uses the bathroom in our room and when he's done, I think ours is the closest bed! We send him back to bed as soon as we notice he's in with us (most of the time) … [Read more...]
Happy New Year….
So it's Goodbye 2010 and Hello 2011. We've had lots of fun together this year and I was considering doing a round up of the year for you but then I decided it would be slightly less boring for you if I just shared some of my favourite photo's from the year with you, so here you go....The year seems to have gone really fast and I must admit that I'm ending the year in a much happier place than when it started - I just feel more positive about everything and I'm looking forward to next year. I even have my resolutions planned out and duly written up in my brand new notbook.I love the … [Read more...]
Warm Chilli and Lime Tomatoes….
I originally posted this over at Frugalicious Food but I didn't want you guys to miss out so I've added it here aswell ;-)I used Smilebox to make a recipe card for this recipe but I haven't decided if I like it yet, although it is quite good if you wanted to print it off to keep like I often do with recipes I find online. What do you think? … [Read more...]
Get Crafty – Recycled Sweet Wrappers
Let's face it, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without at least one tub of Quality Street or Roses would it?This Christmas we've been saving all of our wrappers in preparation for Get Crafty, much to Mr Frugal's annoyance as one of his pet hates is people eating the sweets and putting the wrappers back in the tin ;-)We were going to make stained glass windows for the kids bedrooms but a last minute change of plan meant that we decided to make stained glass bookmarks instead as Miss Frugal decided she was desperate for a bookmark for the book she's reading now - … [Read more...]
