This Instant Pot chicken and rice recipe is one of those meals that I still think about, which probably sounds a bit dramatic considering we’re talking about rice in a bowl, but honestly, it was that good.I don’t actually have my Instant Pot anymore, which is one of those practical decisions that made sense at the time but still makes me a bit sad. We simply didn’t have the space for it in our old house, so it had to go, but I really do miss it. There were a few things I made in it regularly, but this chicken and rice was the one meal that everyone loved and the one I could make without … [Read more...]

Homemade Gingerbread Wreath….
Gingerbread just is Christmas to me. The smell of it baking takes me straight back to cosy December afternoons with the kids, decorating biscuits at the kitchen table and trying not to eat more icing than we used. There’s just something about gingerbread that feels like the official start of the festive season – warm, spicy, comforting and so ridiculously moreish. 😊Last year, Master Frugal made the most amazing homemade gingerbread wreath at school and honestly, it stopped me in my tracks when he brought it home. It looked gorgeous. When I shared a photo of it on Instagram, my … [Read more...]
Tasty Apple and Honey Bran Muffins….
These Apple and Honey Bran Muffins really are lovely and they're definitely healthier than the average muffin - even if they look a bit wonky. 😁I remember when I was little, my Mam used to cook some kind of cake using Kelloggs All-Bran but I have no clue what else was in it - I can vividly remember her weighing out the All-Bran to go in it and I remember how much I enjoyed it just out of the oven but that's as much as I can remember. Every now and again, I have a go at making something with All-Bran in it in some sort of an attempt to recreate a childhood memory and a … [Read more...]
Super Refreshing Homemade Lemonade….
Homemade Lemonade is the most amazing, refreshing drink that you can have on a hot day!We first shared a mint version of our homemade lemonade a few years ago when we had an over-enthusiastic mint plant growing on our kitchen windowsill and a big pile of fresh lemons sitting in our fruit bowl from the reduced section at the shop and it was amazing! Since then, we've tried all sorts of different lemonade flavours - blueberry, peach, strawberry and even a lavender flavour (which wasn't my biggest triumph) and they've all been lovely but on a hot day, there's no doubt in my … [Read more...]
Homemade flatbread – quick, easy and brilliant….
Homemade flatbread is amazing because it's so versatile as well as being so easy to make that my two children could make it pretty much on their own from junior school. We used to have homemade flatbread with soup, made into mini pizzas, we use them as pocketless pitta bread filled with lovely fillings, as burger buns, wrapped around hot dogs, with scrambled egg and bacon on - you name it, we've probably served it with a homemade flatbread at some point. We always made this by hand rather than in our bread maker for no other reason than it just felt like more of a rustic … [Read more...]
