I found a delicious new taste today

Can 1 sausage can make 2 sandwiches? Plus a sublime fruit and nut case paste
Sausage paste is gorgeous! One sausage could be stretched in this way to make 2 sandwiches which would make it very cheap. I simply love the fruit & nut case paste!
Sage, lemon and pumpkin seed pesto £2.99 for a huge jar

Home made sausages
I have been fancying for a while having a go at making sausages, and this week, I did just that. They were glorious!

Raw chickpea carrot falafel, 15p. Delicious, with sweet variations too

Simple mushrooms on toast. A super simple plate of loveliness for any time of day
I’ve had mushrooms on toast for breakfast a couple of times recently. But it’s really filling and I think it would also make a great lunch or simple supper dish. Perfect for one. Very quick and super simple. Only 220 calories, but keeps me going until lunch, may be that big punch of protein.
