We're in week two of the Easter Holidays here and as I predicted last week, the school holidays played havoc with the meals I had planned. We didn't even have the traditional Easter Sunday roast as we were having too much fun in the garden to come in and make it. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it was replaced by a picnic lunch and fish finger sandwiches for tea. ;-)Anyway, let's see if we can stick to this week's plan.... MondayI'm trying to make homemade Doner Kebab for tea tonight which could go either way. If it works, I'll share the recipe and if it doesn't, then it will … [Read more...]
Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins….
After last week's mini egg omelettes success I thought I'd try making them again but this time I made them with the intention of using up some broccoli and grated cheese that was left over from when I made macaroni cheese with broccoli and bacon last night. They were even more delicious than last weeks version!Don't worry, I'm not going to share a different egg muffin recipe each week - this one was too good not to share though.... Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins 4 eggs (beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned) Broccoli Grated cheese Leftover ham if you have someGrease a … [Read more...]

Five ways to make your freezer work for you….
You don't need to have a big freezer to make your freezer work for you - trust me, I know this from experience! With a little bit of organisation, the smallest of freezers can help make life easier for you. Batch cooking This is a great one, especially if you use your slow cooker a lot. I regularly make extra portions when I'm cooking things like chilli, mince and bolognaise and I pop a family sized portion in the freezer ready for another time. It means that I have a homemade 'ready meal' sat waiting in the freezer when I need it which is a godsend when I finish work at half two and rush … [Read more...]
Mini Egg Omelettes – Great for breakfast on the go, Slimming World or just for a Yummy snack….
One of my favourite ways to use up leftovers is to make slow cooker fridge bottom frittata and I was planning to cook it last night for tea but clever me decided to make a batch of homemade tomato sauce when I got home from work without thinking that I'd be needing to use the slow cooker for the frittata!So instead of making one big frittata to use up some leftover bits and bobs, I decided to make mini frittatas in the oven instead and actually, now that I've made them this way I think they would be great to make for breakfasts and mini snacks as well as being great for those of you … [Read more...]
Is a slow cooker really cheaper than your oven….
As you probably know, I'm a huge fan of my slow cooker - it makes life easier for me as a working Mum and it saves me money because it's cheaper to use than the oven.I say it's cheaper to use because that's what I've always been told - that it costs around the same as a household lightbulb to run and is much cheaper than the oven which is rated as one of the most expensive appliances in the house to run.Even though the question is probably up there in the top five questions that I get asked, I've never actually looked into just how much cheaper because I have no idea how to compare the … [Read more...]
