We awoke this morning to another fresh coating of snow and here are some pictures of what I feel thankful for:
I am sure you can guess where Zena has placed herself!
Here is this week's menu plan. As you can see, some of the meals are repeats from last week, but that's us! Creatures of habit.
What you might like to know:
Brioche sounds exotic doesn't it? 25p in the bargain bit at Morrisons.
Pancakes - ditto - 9p
Smoothies - 4 for £1 from Approved Foods (AF) and their suet mix comes in a huge bag for £1 too.
Lasagne sheets - organic - was on offer at AF - 4 for £1 - you have to look at their site regularly because bargains like this go quickly. I used quorn mince and passata for the "meat" sauce and white, creamy pasta sauce on top - 19p from Morrisions (bargains again). Grated cheese to go on top was 19p a bag.
The stilton for the soup was left over from Christmas.
The pizza mix - from AF - £1 for a huge bag.
Rye bread - 4 for £1 from AF
Banana malt loaf - 3 for £1 from AF
Scone mix - £1 - huge bag from AF
Potatoes, onions, eggs and quorn all left from last week.
Tuna was on offer at AF - 5 tins for £1. (No 3 took a load back to uni).
Soups are all made and ready to freeze/chill in portion sizes.
