I've always wondered how to separate an egg without making a mess as I usually end up getting my hands covered in egg when I try to do it and it often takes me more than one attempt to do it right!Not so long ago, someone at work told me what their secret was to separating eggs and at the time I remember that I just nodded my head and smiled whilst thinking to myself that their method would clearly never work.But then last night when we were making sugar mice we needed to separate an egg so I decided to give it a go and to my amazement, it actually worked so I enlisted Miss Frugal's … [Read more...]
Leftovers Inspiration – Five ways to use up leftover Risotto or Paella….
Homemade Paella and Oven baked risotto are two of my all time favourite meals but I always end up with leftovers so I've been experimenting with different ways to use up the leftovers....These are really simple to make as all you need to do is make golf ball sized balls using the leftover paella / risotto. Then you just flatten them down and bake for around 20-25 minutes and you're done. The cakes make a great little starter with some spicy mayo on the side.I wrote about how to use up leftover risotto by making risotto balls here and the recipe works just as well with paella … [Read more...]
Rocky Road fridge cake….
Every now and again, I am required to make cakes for some random reason and naturally, the night that I am required to bake these cakes always seems to fall on a night where we have at least twenty seven other things planned which means my cakes invariably end up being the ones that are left at the end looking lonely on the table with a reduced to 10p sign on them.But this week, I had a revelation after finding two big bars of cooking chocolate at the back of my cupboard. I made rocky road cake which took Miss Frugal me less than 10 minutes and I don't want to brag but they were all sold … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker ham in Coca Cola….
Foods like lemon and honey, tomato and basil, Nutella and peanut butter are all perfect flavour combinations. I wouldn't have put ham and Coca Cola on my list of favourite food combinations at all - until last night when we had slow cooked Coca Cola ham.My version of coca cola ham is a much simplified version of the Nigella ham in coke recipe as it doesn't have any fancy stuff in it ;-)It really couldn't be easier to make and the results are delicious.I always bring my ham joint to the boil in a pan for five minutes to get rid of any excess salt but I know lots of people … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Leftover Frittata….
I've posted this week's meal plan over at Meal Planning Made Easy but for those of you who haven't ventured over there yet or don't meal plan, I wanted to share a recipe that I posted on there over the weekend. It's for a frittata made using whatever you have in the bottom of your fridge that needs using up and uses the slow cooker which means it's super easy to make....As far as the recipe goes, there isn't actually one because it depends what you have in to use up but I can tell you the recipe for the version that I just made and you can adapt it as you want/need to....3 (ish) cold … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan – the tired mummy week….
There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day at the minute.I have so much to do but all I actually want to do is snuggle up on the settee and do nothing, especially since I bought myself a lovely new throw for the settee last night. How pretty is this?I have jobs to do round the house, blog posts to write, emails to reply to, work to go to, school meetings to attend and I'm not sure if it's the change in weather but I have a sudden urge to decorate!On the plus side, I made the decision about what school to put as our first choice for Miss Frugal's secondary school - it's … [Read more...]
