Today's plans:
B: porridge with fruit and yogurt
S: apple
L: ham and pea soup
S: persimmon
D: Not sure yet; I'll fill this in later.
Much later: I had lemon chicken goujons, SW chips and a simple salad and it was so, so good.

The freezer challenge:
the ham and pea soup
chicken for the goujons
bread for the breadcrumbs for the goujons
The frugal factor
porridge - cheapest breakfast out and even fruit on it doesn't take it out of the frugal band.
home made ham and pea soup - I looked it up on My Supermarket and the cost of the yellow split peas at today's prices would be 5.5p for two portions, cheaper than I though. I can see they are going to feature more in my plans at that price, maybe with cooking bacon as I won't always have ham stock to hand.
I have an overloaded freezer and have challenged myself to take out much more than I put in!
I want to make the most of my hard earned pension so am aiming for sensible frugality in my meal planning and making.
However, I have recently diagnosed gallbladder issues (with an op at some time in the future), high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Oh, and more than a few lbs to lose. I like flavour but need to go very low fat.
Is it possible? No idea, but I'm giving it a good go and sharing the 'journey' in here. Thanks for reading and any comments you would like to make are very welcome.
The Tesco cooking bacon is great (as you know because i got the idea from you!) when I've bought it there has been a big steak-y bit which we've had with egg and chips, and scrappy bits for soup/pasta/omelette. Can't i wrong really. Could you boil the steaky bit to make a sort of stock, using the meat elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteGood idea, yes, I could. It would be 'ham' then, rather than a gammon steak.
