for fabulously frugal food
When I last stocked up my nut supplies, I included lots of bags of Asda’s Good and Balanced Brazil nuts at 85p per 100g. MySupermarket is great for making sure I order the cheapest pack. Today, I decided to use a couple of those bags to make a Brazil nut butter. I’m...
Well, my goodness, recipes don’t come much simpler than this! Assemble the ingredients in a small dish, ignore them for a day or two, whizz!
Inspired by the talented Miki Knight on the wonderful Feed Yourself for £1 A Day face book page, I decided to finally get round to making some home made paneer. Following Miki’s method, this is what I did Paneer Priced at Asda using mySupermarket 4 pints/2.27litres...

Mmmm, lovely! Surprisingly mild in sage flavour, a very slight sweetness from the raisins, nuttiness from the pumpkin seeds, a little citrusy hit and that distinctive Olive oil flavour.

Made the carrot soup for Mike’s lunch today (I’m back on the diet and had something different), and some tomato flavoured rolls to go with it using the sparkling water loaf recipe from a few days ago. This time I used the same ingredients as for the stripped back loaf...
How to make something delicious for lunch or dinner using breadcrumbs and not a lot else
First day of my new workouts today. I thought if I started the week on a Sunday, I might even get to do those five sessions that my coach asked. It was very intense, very hard work, and took 2.5 hours, and I felt amazing afterwards. Weight seems to be moving at last...
