Meal Plan 4 – a scrummy lunch of Butter Bean Pate, carrot sticks & pitta, 18p
This didn’t take long to prepare, although I did have a big dish of butter beans, already cooked, in the fridge. It was filling, even tho it was less than 300 calories, and 3 hours later, I am not in the least bit hungry. It tasted really good with the carrots. A tasty lunch from the simplest of simple ingredients.
Pancakes, with lemon and sugar, the classic, less than 3p each
I couldn’t tell the difference between my usual ones, made with eggs and milk, and these. Costwise, these could be doable, where egg and milk ones weren’t

Butter Bean and Vegetable Curry – 24p a serving
This recipe is one I have had in my recipe book for a very long time. As is the case with many curries, it is very variable. You can change the vegetables around pretty much to whatever you want
Granola, 8p a serving, 14p including the milk
Made some granola this evening. The whole place now smells of vanilla, a delicious smell. The granola is for the 4th meal plan and the entire huge box of it is available for use during the week if required.

Tomato Scones, 5p each
I have been fancying a savoury scone for a while, and a couple of weeks back, I made these tomato ones. They have a strong tomato, savoury flavour and really hit the spot. The batch makes 6, but I scoffed one before I took the picture! Tomato Scones 270g self raising...
Vegetable Casserole & Dumplings, 46p a serving
Only takes about half an hour to make and is a delicious warming dish to come home to. Root vegetables in cder or apple juice, with cheesy dumplings on top
