Vegan Herb and Pistachio Pesto

Herb and Pistachio Pesto is simple to prepare and healthy to boot.

Homemade Scotch Eggs

When the lunch box's come back from school just as full as when they arrived at school in the morning, you know it's time for a change. They all love the shop-bought Scotch Eggs, so I thought I would save some money and give it a go making them.


Sticky Pork Wraps

Sticky Pork Lettuce Wraps

Another quick and easy meal from the BBC Good Food Magazine. This would make a great lunch, or as part of a dinner with other bits perhaps. I had everything for this dish except the lettuce, so really cheap for me. However, all in you shouldn’t be paying much more than £4 for this meal.

Crispy honey wings with a cheese and celery slaw

OK, tonight’s dinner was never going to be healthy and it came in at around £6, not £5. But it was tasty and I figured we can all be unhealthy once in a while.


sweet and sour pork

Sweet & Sour Pork

A nice and easy one tonight. We have a few extras in the house today, with everyone trying to cram the most into the remaining few days of the school holidays.

To be completely honest I had most of the ingredients in the storecupboard and fridge. So all I needed to buy was the pineapple chunks and sugar snap peas.
