Frugal Family Meals and Snacks
Feeding a family on a budget is never easy, especially when your family all like different foods like mine do but I think I've pretty much mastered it these days so I thought I'd have a bit of a revamp of my recipe pages.On this page you'll find all of my savoury frugal food which includes soups, meals and snacks which I hope will inspire you to get cooking. If there's something in the recipe that you don't have in, try and use something you have in as a substitute or use your judgement and just leave it out if you don't think it'll make a major difference to the finished … [Read more...]

Small things that make me smile {June 2016}….
Even though I've not been too well for the last couple of weeks (just a virus that's dragging on - nothing dramatic ;-)) we've still had another really lovely month with some great moments that have made me smile....The first one I'm going to tell you about today is the text Miss Frugal got this morning from one of her friends as she was getting ready for a school visit to spend the days with some monks at a monastery.

Five things you can make using a wafflemaker (and none of them are waffles)….

This last month has been a great month with some brilliant stand out happy moments!We started the month with a cheeky long weekend to Cyprus for Miss Frugal and I which I know I may have mentioned a few times on here already( here and here mainly ) so I won't go into detail again but I will say that those five days were perfect. I can't remember ever feeling as relaxed and considering one of us was a hormonal teenager, you might be surprised to hear that there wasn't a single argument, mood or sulk over the whole time we were there!We've had some lovely days out together as a … [Read more...]
