What if I told you that I had a way that would help you half the time it takes you to meal plan every week? I bet that would interest even those of you who don't do meal planning, wouldn't it?Well, you're in luck because I have a new method of meal planning that took me an hour to set up before I started and it's really working for us! I've been trying it out for the last month or so and it's made it so much easier and quicker for me when I'm writing out our weekly meal plan that I thought I'd share it with you today. Your Initial One-Off Meal Planning Session Sit down with a notebook … [Read more...]
Homemade delicious and creamy slow cooker rice pudding….
Sometimes, when the skies are grey outside and you're not feeling your best, the best thing for you is some good old fashioned home cooked comfort food and the best comfort food I know is our gorgeous slow cooker rice pudding! Yesterday afternoon was one of those afternoons where comfort food was called for but seeing as I wasn't feeling great, I called on Master Frugal to take over the kitchen and make us a batch.Slow cooker rice pudding really is easy to make yet it tastes so delicious and always makes me feel better.

Mini Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs….
We first had Chicken souvlaki kebabs when we were on holiday in Cyprus earlier on this year and ever since then I've been meaning to have a go at making them. They've been on my weekly meal plan a few times since we came home but for one reason or another I've just never got around to attempting them.Yesterday though I was determined that we were going to have my version of chicken souvlaki kebabs for tea - I had the chicken, the Tzatziki, the pitta breads and everything else in that I needed to make them and I was good to go. That is, until I went to get the BBQ skewers out of the … [Read more...]
Warming split pea and ham soup….
My Nana used to make the BEST split pea and ham soup in the world and almost every time we visited her, there was a bowl of her special soup simmering away on the stove with some delicious dumplings in it, just waiting for me.I must have watched her make it at least a hundred times and I remember all of the ingredients as well as if she were here making it with me today. What I don't know is how much of everything she used to add because she never used her scales to measure out the soup ingredients - it was always a bit of this, some of that and a dash of this. No matter how many times I … [Read more...]
10 easy meal ideas for kids to cook for the family….
I was feeling rather pleased with myself when I shared last week's meal plan because I'd worked really hard in the few weeks before to make sure we had a week's worth of meals in the freezer so that in the days after my operation, we didn't have to worry about what we'd be eating (or rather I didn't have to worry about the kids being subjected to Mr Frugal's cooking).I'm not sure what I was expecting recovery wise but I kind of had last Friday in my head as the day that I'd be up and about and well enough to be pottering about so I made sure that I had enough meals ready to go to last us … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week – the one with all the batch cooking….
Tomorrow's the day that I'm going into hospital for my operation - it's nothing huge and nothing too dramatic but I'm probably not going to feel much like cooking for the next few days. I've had lots of offers of help from some very lovely people but I think that my batch cooking has paid off as I've just written my meal plan and it's mostly made up of things in the freezer that just need defrosting and re-heating!I know I haven't shared my meal plans on here for a while but today seems like a good one to share with you....Monday - This week's only faffy tea is Chicken Souvlaki kebabs … [Read more...]
