Spicy cabbage with lentils
Dinner today was Spicy Cabbage with Lentils, had it with an Approved Foods nan that was just 12.5p
Only took a few minutes to make and was totally scrummy. It consists of cabbage, lentils, tomatoes, onion and a few spices
AP send me emails every day in the hope that I will buy something, and today there were several things that I wanted, so I made another order. It’s not too long since the last one, so goodness knows where I’m going to put it 😉
I’m making good progress using up the stuff packed into the freezer, need to tackle the store cupboard now :0

Seriously, I was after some more of the Tesco pasta I got recently. They didnt have any of that, but they did have enough to make an order worth getting. I’m going to have to stop reading their emails for a while now tho – or buy some bricks for the bed…… now there’s a thought
Approved Foods is totally addictive, isn’t it? I have a stockpile in my bedroom with tins of beans etc. and boxes packed with pasta and rice stored under the bed and packets and jars in a couple of bookcases. I’m not as bad as on Extreme Couponing, but I certainly have a lot of stuff.
