Seeing as it's half term for us here in the UK I thought you might like a quick and easy recipe to get the kids in the kitchen today. This recipe for my easy 3 ingredient no cook chocolate crunch cakes will not only keep them occupied for a while as they make them, you also get the added advantage of the end result being that you get to eat some amazingly tasty little cakes. Win, win.I don't think I've ever has such a simple recipe turn out so well and over the years that we've been making them we've tried lots of different combinations using digestives instead of rich tea biscuits and … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {08 May 2017}….
Last week was the first week in ages that I shared my meal plan with you on this blog instead of hiding it away on my meal planning blog.I shared it here for a couple of reasons - the first one is because I'm a little embarrassed by how neglected my poor little meal planning blog is at the moment but the main reason is because this month I wanted to have a BIG focus on our meal planning.I almost always write a meal plan for the week but lately I haven't been spending as much time on it as I used to so meal planning of late has consisted of me hurriedly scribbling five meals down on a … [Read more...]
The most amazing homemade Guacamole you’ve ever tasted….
We're pretty new to the trendy world of avocados and guacamole but I think you'll agree that we've caught up fast with this amazing homemade Guacamole!When Miss Frugal and I went to New York last month we discovered Chipotle which is a kind of fast food chain but the food is Mexican and honestly, the most amazing food I've had in a long time. We had it for lunch on three of the days we were there as we enjoyed it so much and it was really good value for money compared to some of the other things we could have chosen from.We're a bit gutted that there's not a Chipotle near us … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {01 May 2017}….
I haven't shared a weekly meal plan on here for ages now, have I?I started posting them over on my meal planning blog each week but even that kind of gradually dropped off as life got too busy over the last few months to do anything but quickly scribble my plans on the back of an envelope in the 10 minutes before we went shopping.That 'method' of meal planning, although better than not meal planning at all, isn't great for us as I tend to stick to the same few meals when I do it that way simply because I know they're easy to shop for and easy to cook. This means we get bored with what … [Read more...]
Homemade banana bread with cinnamon drizzle….
This homemade banana bread with cinnamon drizzle is amazing!Something odd happened on Easter Sunday in our house!I was in the kitchen cooking the Sunday Dinner and baking banana bread with some bananas that were just about to turn whilst managing an argument between the kids about who could spin something the fastest when Mr Frugal offered to take over the banana bread making.This is a man who bakes once a year on Christmas Eve with the kids to keep them occupied while I have some peace on what's usually a very busy day so you can imagine my surprise when he made the offer, … [Read more...]
Chocolate Smarties Pinata Cupcakes….
When I was trawling through Pinterest a couple of weeks ago looking for some Easter themed cupcakes I came across lots of pictures of amazing mini egg pinata cakes which all had hidden mini eggs in the middle so they all popped out when you went to slice it. Over the weekend, I wanted to do some baking so when I realised I had some Smarties and some cute cupcake cases I thought I'd see if I could make some Chocolate Smarties Pinata Cupcakes....How to make Chocolate Smarties Pinata Cupcakes. 200g Sugar 200g butter 4 eggs A capful of vanilla essence 175g self raising flour 50g … [Read more...]
