I don't know about you but I seem to find myself being added to numerous Facebook groups recently and looking down the list of things I'd been added to the other day, I found a group that I thought I actually might like so instead of deleting it, I clicked on the link to view the group. I'm not going to name the group but the first post I read was a lady who had mentioned that she was feeding her children hot dogs for lunch. Now I know as much as the next person that there is very little nutritional value to a hot dog but the comments that this lady was getting from some people were … [Read more...]
Tasty Spicy Chickpea and Mushroom Stew {Vegetarian} {Free on Slimming World}….
In my mind, there's two different types of cooking. There's the cooking you have to do to feed your family and then there's the cooking you do for fun, usually for me that's because I have an ingredient or an idea I want to try. Just lately, we've had so much going on that I haven't had time for the fun side of cooking. In fact, I've probably only just been managing to keep up with the feeding my family type of cooking if I'm honest! But tonight, I went in the fridge for something and found some mushrooms that needed using up so I decided to have a play. The resulting meal was … [Read more...]
Tried and Tested – Morrisons Sweet and Sour Sauce….
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Tesco value curry sauce jar as part of my new tried and tested feature where we will be trying lots of different value products and reporting back. I was really pleased at how positive the comments were as I was half expecting lots of people to say that cooking from scratch was the only right thing to do. Today I wanted to tell you about our experiences with the M Savers Sweet and Sour sauce from Morrisons which we bought for the bargain price of 25p! I completely failed with taking note of the ingredients for this but I did read through them … [Read more...]
Savoury Muffins – Chilli, cheese and ham muffins….
Sometimes savoury muffins can be just as tasty as sweeter versions so, after last week's super easy muffin recipe, I thought I'd share my famous (in my own mind) chilli, cheese and ham muffins which are not only delicious but also great to freeze for packed lunches and very versatile. They are lovely on their own, with butter, dipped in soup and even cut open with a slice of ham in it as a little sandwich. Chilli, Cheese and Ham Savoury Muffins 250g plain flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon paprika A pinch of salt 50g butter 1 egg 250ml milk 150g cheese (the cheese with chilli … [Read more...]
Homemade Peach Lemonade – Summer in a bottle….
We found some pathetic looking peaches and lemons in the reduced section at the shop last night so I decided to try my hand at making some sort of peach lemonade type drink. It turned our really delicious so being the lovely person that I am, I thought I'd share it with you although the photos don't really do it justice as it's such a grey day outside that I'm struggling to find any sunlight at all! Homemade Peach Lemonade 100ml water a handful of ice cubes 2 peaches, peeled and chopped the juice of 1 1/2 lemons we also added an orange as we had one sat looks lonely in the fruit … [Read more...]
What foods are in Season right now….
How do you choose what fruit and vegetables you cook with? Is it based on what you fancy with your tea or do you ever think about what's in season before you decide? I'm usually more of a cook whatever I fancy kind of cook but this year I've decided that I'm going to try and think a bit more about what foods are in season when I plan my meals. There's a couple of reasons for this, the first being that fruit and veg that are in season are usually better value for money because they're readily available and not having to be shipped in from somewhere or grown in a hothouse somewhere. Which … [Read more...]
