So, last week I made a big batch of Mexican style Mince that I then made into a Mexican Pasta Bake for tea on Thursday with the leftovers transformed into super quick Instant Pot Beef Enchiladas for tea on Friday!I thought you might like to see how I make my Mexican Style Mince and then a couple of the ways that I turn it into meals - I absolutely love it made into a pasta bake and regularly make a giant pasta bake just so we can eat it for lunchtime leftovers too! It's one of those meals that's absolutely made for batch cooking because it freezes so well and it's also one where you can … [Read more...]

How to make a homemade Gift Hamper on a Budget…
About this time pretty much every year, I share some ideas with you on how to make a gift hamper on a budget because I just feel like homemade gift hampers are just the perfect homemade gift - for Christmas or any other special occasion.A homemade gift hamper is an ideal way to show someone you care because you can personalise it to exactly what you know they'll enjoy.

Note that I said most, not all! 🤣😂🤣 About ten pairs of tights (and two more pairs that I just bought today) from Snag Tights This discovery has literally … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) A while ago, I shared how I'd painted my lovely old dining room table white.A couple of people at the time asked me why I'd chosen white to paint the table as white isn't the most practical colour for a dining room table - a fact I totally get!
