Good morning! The weekend has arrived and I'm not just cooking for myself (and generally not paying either) but frugality still impacts on some meals while generally I try not to be daft with what I prepare.
Today's plans:
B: porridge with fruit and yogurt
L: toast with pate or marmite, apple
D: < takes deep breath > roast turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roasties, roasted parsnips, sprouts, gravy, cranberry sauce followed by fruit salad.
S: orange
From the freezer
The turkey and the stuffing
The frugal factor
Breakfast and lunch as usual :-)
Dinner isn't as bad as it looks. The turkey is part of a large breast that was bought for Christmas and cut into two. The stuffing is leftover from Christmas, the veg are already in the fridge and it's one chipolata per person (making two pigs). The cranberry sauce is left over from Christmas and was made from cranberries that had been in the freezer for longer than I care to mention. It could be a lot worse - glamming it up as a Christmas roast dinner makes it look less frugal than it really is; because there's so many elements, each is a pretty small helping.
I think we will all enjoy it!
