I made Sprout Gratin today which didn't exactly thrill the kids if I'm being honest but that's probably to be expected as we're most definitely NOT a family of sprout fans! I feel like if you're sprout lover then this is something you're going to want to try!If you're wondering why a sprout-hater tried to make sprout gratin, it's because our veg box delivery this week included a bag of sprouts. Rather than let them go to waste, I thought I'd try and do something to make them a bit more appetising which is why I found myself serving up the little green balls of yuck for our tea … [Read more...]
My Batch Cooking Meal Plan {27th October 2019}…
It's Monday which means that it's time for #mealplanningMonday again! This week, I'm sharing our meal plan over here rather than over on Meal Planning Made Easy because it's a bit different to my normal plan - it's a batch cooking meal plan.What I mean when I say it's a batch cooking meal plan, I basically mean that I've planned a week's worth of meals based on the fact that I want to do some batch cooking this week so everything I've planned can (and will) be batch cooked so I'll be making one to eat on the day with at least one family-sized portion to go in the … [Read more...]

I used to plan super cheap meals to cut our food bill to as little as possible but over the last few years, as our budget has started to look a bit healthier, I've increased the amount we set aside for food … [Read more...]
What my teenagers ate last week when I wasn’t there to cook for them….
Last week was a bit of an odd week as I was working a late shift at work during the week so I wasn't at home to cook. I also didn't write a proper meal plan (I know, I'm hanging my head in shame) because I was away in London at the weekend and felt very bleugh when I got home. Mr Frugal waited until I got home for his tea and was on lates himself 3 out of the 5 nights so the kids had to mainly fend for themselves which I would absolutely expect them to be able to do at their age (17 and 14). Let's see how they got on... Monday Homemade Chicken Parmo with chips, salad … [Read more...]
Easy Chicken Parmo Recipe…
If you've never heard of a parmo then I'm about to blow your mind with this super easy chicken parmo recipe...I'm pretty sure that about 95% of you won't have a clue what a chicken parmo even is so I'd best start by filling you in. Wikipedia describes it better than I can though: The parmo, or Teesside Parmesan, is a dish originating in Middlesbrough, Teesside, and a popular item of take-away food in North East England. It consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar cheese. … [Read more...]
