Due to the boringness of my weekly meal plans, I set myself a bit of a meal plan challenge last week which involved me cooking a different meal each night. Thursday's new meal was barbecue chicken but Mr Frugal and I disagreed on how to make it so we ended up making two different versions and having a bit of a taste test at the end....My version was a chicken breast with barbecue sauce spread on top, wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with cheese:Mr Frugal's was a typical man mess:He wrapped his chicken in bacon and poured barbecue sauce all over it before … [Read more...]
How not to cook Chicken Quesadillas….

Meal Plan Challenge – Oven Baked Risotto….

I've never made risotto before and I didn't fancy having to constantly stir the pan so I opted for an oven baked version, much more my style.First of all, I fried some diced chicken breast with some onion and garlic, then added it to a large casserole dish along with 250g Arborio rice and 1 and a half pints of chicken stock. I'm a bit clueless with herbs so I just added some Oregano. You're supposed to add parmasen cheese at some point but I'm not really keen so I … [Read more...]
