What do you serve as a accompaniment to your main meal on a night? When I was younger we used to have chips or potatoes with just about every meal but the meals that I serve to my children are completely different - for a number of reasons but mainly because they just aren't huge potato fans. We've found lots of other alternatives that we can serve with a meal and I thought you might like to see some today.... Sweet potato friesSweet potato fries are delicious and super easy to make and homemade sweet potato fries taste about a hundred times better than the ready made versions that … [Read more...]

Slow cookers are awesome, they really are!This last couple of weeks have been a bit of a nightmare for me as I've been working longer hours than normal as well as not feeling 100% thanks to a seemingly never ending cold but thanks to my slow cooker, I've been able to serve up meals that are so delicious that you'd think I'd been slaving away in the kitchen all day*.(* This may be a slight exaggeration but they've definitely been tasty ;-))We've had the usual food you would think of when you think of a typical meal you would cook in the slow cooker - curry, chilli, casserole and … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {26th February 2016}….
How on earth is it nearly March?1) I bought a of pack of ready peeled and chopped swede reduced to 37p from the shop the other day and made a gorgeous curried swede soup which was delicious.

I even used my Ikea family card to get a free cuppa … [Read more...]

Have you ever been seduced into buying the conditioner that supposedly compliments your shampoo and then only used it once or twice?I haven't for a long time as I know that conditioner makes my hair too soft to do anything with but Miss Frugal is a whole different story.

We've had our first real snow of the year today and even that was only around for long enough for a quick snowball fight before the sun came out and started to melt it!We made the most of it though and had a family snowball fight in the front garden while the dog looked through the window at us in disgust because he hates the snow. ;-)Even after just a few minutes outside in the cold, it was lovely to come in to our warm and cosy living room and snuggle up under the blankets and it got me thinking of other ways that we've made our house into a cosy and welcoming home.Here's just a … [Read more...]
Cabbage and Spring Greens Soup….
Cabbage and Spring Greens Soup!It doesn't sound very appetising does it?Since I got my soup maker for Christmas I'm constantly on the lookout for new recipes to try - the soup aisle in supermarkets always gets me thinking about what I can recreate at home and the fruit and veg sections provide me with just as much inspiration with the pre-prepared soup packs that they all seem to be selling these days.My Cabbage and Spring Greens Soup was inspired by a pack that I found in the fresh veg section of our local Asda which I thought sounded lovely when I saw it but didn't buy it at the … [Read more...]
