Soup is definitely my favourite lunch - especially since I started to experiment with flavours that I wouldn't necessarily have put together in the past!Last week I tried a curried swede soup after I found a 500g pack of ready prepared swede in Asda reduced to 37p, to be honest though, the full price was only 50p so it's well worth the money anyway if you ask me. I bought it with the intention of using it as a cottage pie topping instead of mash but the kids looked horrified at that so I googled 'swede' and 'soup' for a bit of inspiration.Curried swede soup was definitely the most … [Read more...]

Healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe {and 7 things to do with it}….
Today I'm going to share with you my healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe. There are lots of reasons why I love my recipe for slow cooker tomato sauce and why I think you'll love it too - it's cheap, it's versatile, it takes two minutes to prepare and most importantly, it tastes delicious!I generally make it using things I already have in the house so the ingredients like the garlic, chilli and basil are often from my spice rack rather than being fresh but that's just because I have it in already - you can substitute anything you need to.

Homemade Peppermint Foot Scrub….
I don't know about you but I sometimes have days where I feel like I'm on my feet and on the go from the moment I wake up until bedtime finally arrives!Take today for example....I got up early to drop Master Frugal off at a school event which lasted two hours and while he was there, I took Miss Frugal into town to buy some new school trousers and a couple of bits she needed for the presents she's making for her friends at school. We got back in time to pick Master Frugal up and then we had a quick lunch before taking the dog for a walk in the woods near us and then it was back out … [Read more...]
Homemade teacher’s gifts that will save you money but still look amazing….
Do you make homemade teacher's gifts at Christmas or do you buy your children's teachers gifts?I know lots don't but I always like to give them a gift to show my appreciation because I imagine that being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs there is, especially these days with all of the paperwork and the expectations on them to achieve great results. I often buy the gifts but this year we're planning to make our own homemade teacher's gifts as Master Frugal has five teachers and teaching assistants that he wants to get something for and I suspect if we didn't make them, I'd end up … [Read more...]

You add all of the ingredients for a gorgeous warming hot chocolate drink into a cellophane bag so the lucky recipient of your gift (or you) just has to pour it into a mug, add hot water and stir.We make enough for two mugs in our bags and add the hot … [Read more...]
