With less than a week left of the Summer Holidays we're trying to squeeze as much fun out of the time we have left before the kids are back at school and I'm back at work.Yesterday was an amazing day which was filled with fun from the moment the kids woke up to homemade waffles for breakfast to the amazing rainbow fritters they made us all for tea with a trip to the local beach and paddling pool in between the two lovely meals.The fritters were mixed by Master Frugal and cooked by his big sister which meant that all I had I had to do was sit at the dining room table and enjoy their … [Read more...]
Super easy and versatile scone recipe….
A couple of days ago I saw a photo of a delicious looking fruity scone on my Facebook timeline and ever since then I've been craving one, preferably with some lovely strawberry jam and some clotted cream smothered on it.The problem is that I'm the only person in the house who likes fruity scones and as soon as I said I was going to bake some, everyone else put in a request for some cheese scones. I have a really quick and easy scone recipe from way back when for plain scones so I decided to use that and adapt it a little bit so I could make fruit scones and cheese scones using just one … [Read more...]

Packed Lunch Cake – it’s frugal, filling and delicious….

14 Amazing Blueberry Recipes to make your mouth water….
Miss Frugal loves blueberries so they're a regular on my shopping list - they're not the cheapest fruit though so we often buy the frozen bags of it or buy as many as we can when we come across them reduced and freeze what we don't eat.Frozen blueberries are amazing in smoothies and most of the recipes I'm sharing with you below and it makes a relatively expensive fruit cheaper which is a huge plus.My favourite way to cook blueberries is our traditional Sunday morning breakfast of American style blueberry pancakes (even though it's been mostly replaced by waffles and waffle omelettes … [Read more...]
No Cook Popcorn Crispy Cakes….
As much as I love my family, it drives me mad when, no matter how many times I tell them, when they use the last of something the box does not go back in the cupboard! I've lost count of the times that I've got something out of the cupboard or the fridge only to find that the box is empty!It drives me loopy, especially when I've already melted some chocolate ready to make cornflake cakes and find that the big box of cornflakes in the cupboard is empty and there's only about a handful left in the rice crispies box!I had nothing else in that would work so I was torn between abandoning … [Read more...]
