Today I'm sharing the third post in my 'What we ate in a week' series! The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. It worked pretty well so far so let's see if I'm as good this time... Monday Today we had slow cooker turkey chilli which we prefer to normal beef chilli these days. It's hard to describe the difference that using turkey mince makes to the meal but it's delicious. It's not as heavy if that makes sense. Tuesday Tonight's … [Read more...]
How to make butter from cream….
Have you ever tried making homemade butter from cream? I hadn't until recently but now that I have, I'm a huge fan! I don't know about you but I often come across yellow stickered cream in the supermarket reduced section at the end of the day but I tend to just leave it there because I'm unsure how well it freezes and I had no idea what else to do with it to use it up on the day I buy it. I can't be the only one because cartons of double cream are a regular in the reduced section in our supermarket and it's often reduced massively - maybe because it's something that's often left on … [Read more...]
Healthy Oat Pancakes….
It's pancake day tomorrow so I thought I'd share my healthy oat pancakes with you just in case you fancy a healthy option tomorrow! Wherever possible, we keep Sunday aside as a family day where we spend some quality time together seeing as we seem to spend less and less time together during the week now that the kids are older and have different priorities (in no particular order: football, makeup, snapchat, friends and Fifa). We start the day together with a family breakfast although to be fair, we could call it brunch seeing as it's usually almost lunchtime by the time the kids … [Read more...]
What we ate in a week {January 2018}….
Today I'm sharing the second post in my 'What we ate in a week' series! The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. It worked pretty well last time I did this so let's see if I'm as good this time... Monday Mushroom risotto was on the menu tonight, inspired by the pathetic looking mushrooms that were sitting in the bottom of the fridge. I added some chilli for a bit of heat too and it tasted lovely! Tuesday Before Christmas, I bought a … [Read more...]
50 Common Sense tips to help you save money in the kitchen….
Warning: these are not innovative new ideas to save money in the kitchen! They're things that your common sense tells you that you should be doing but I can practically guarantee that you won't be doing most of them... 50 Common Sense tips to help you save money in the kitchen! Make sure you have a weekly shopping budget and that you stick to it. I worked mine out originally by looking at my receipts to see how much I spent in a week and then taking 10% off that. It's been a work in progress since but we're definitely saving. Don't buy pre-peeled / chopped fruit and vegetables as they … [Read more...]
‘Vague’ meal planning for beginners….
The changeable weather at this time of year is definitely making meal planning a bit more challenging.... The weather makes it difficult to know what to plan for tea at the moment! If I plan ahead for a roast dinner at the weekend, and then the sun comes out then everyone wants something lighter than a full on Sunday dinner because, let's face it, no-one fancies a big roast dinner while the sun's shining (or at least we don't). I've been quite vague with my meal planning lately to combat the changing weather that we're seeing at the moment. By vague I mean that I'll write a main … [Read more...]
