Weekly Meal Plan – 23rd May
I really must get organised as the badge says ‘Meal Planning Monday’ but I never get round to posting mine until Tuesday every week! Last week’s plan went well, apart from the Lamb Tagine – the less said about that the better. Lets just say a combination of stringy lamb and forgetting to cover the...
Baked fish
Firstly, I must apologies for the quality of the photo in the post – everyone was very hungry and I had to take a few quick snaps before it was gone! I can assure you though, this was much more delicious than it looks and went down very well at dinner time! The recipe is...
Rhubarb and ginger jam
After visiting my Mum a few weeks back, I came home with 2 bags full of rhubarb! I adore rhubarb and was ridiculously excited about trying out some new recipes. First up I thought I’d make some jam by combining the rhubarb with one of my other favourite ingredients – ginger. I am a big...
Weekly Meal Plan – 16th May
So last week was manic. It was the sort of week when I really should have done a clear meal, but I didn’t! We did some crazy hand-to-mouth living and I resolved to get straight back into meal planning this week to save my sanity and my budget. I have run the stock cupboard, freezer...
Weekly Meal Plan – 2nd May
My last attempt at meal planning went very well. We really enjoyed the meals I chose and I was very excited as I tried out new recipes and got back to cooking from scratch every day. It also helped with the budgeting and shopping – meaning less trips to the supermarket and less impulse spending!...
Weekly meal planning
Several things have occurred to me over the last couple of weeks when it comes to family meals. Firstly, we seem to be stuck in a rut of eating the same meals over and over as if we are following a rota. We seem to cycle between some of the good old favourites including shepherd’s...
Review – Weight Watchers ProPoints Cookbooks
Although I’m not actually following the Weight Watchers ProPoints plan myself, I have heard some very positive things about it through friends and twitter, so I was interested to see what the cookbooks were like when I was asked to review them. I have to say I was very surprised at the range of recipes...
White chocolate party mix
This was one of our favourite treats over Christmas and is ideal to whip up when you’ve got friends round for the evening or a little treat instead of popcorn when you’re watching a DVD. When you read the list of ingredients some of you are going to think I’m a bit crazy, but trust...
Philips Airfryer review
I was extremely excited when Philips, who hosted a wonderful Christmas lunch for some bloggers, asked if I’d like to try out their Airfryer. I love kitchen gadgets and am very quickly running out of room to store them all, but who could turn down this slick looking machine? As soon as it arrived we...
National Curry Week
Apparently, it is National Curry Week this week. Well, actually I’m a little late to the party because it ends today! So if you grab your stuff and head out the door now you can take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer on the Cobra website! If that is just a little short notice...
Christmas Chutney
It’s that time of year again when I start to think about and planning for Christmas. As you may have guessed, I like to make as many things as I can for Christmas presents, but being the lazy madam that I am, I usually leave it all until the last minute. This year I am...
