Sunday, November 11, 2007 Eat at home fast instead of takeaways. Posted in Menu Planning Brent dropped Abbey & I at home & James & him went back to the Strawberry fair to listen to some more bands – wish I got some photos. Oh well…. This weekend I have people coming to look at their kittens growing & choosing if they can. I allow 1 hour a visit & set aside a weekend to do it – telling the kids I am not available as their taxi. – We have 16 kittens at the moment so that is a lot of people visiting & time. My last appointment was 4.30 – 5.30pm so I needed a quick tea. These are Gluten & egg free sausages & are one of my life savers!!! I always have some in the freezer & if I need a meal for James to take somewhere it doesn't take long to defrost & cook. They actually taste quite nice so our whole family eat them - a bit expensive for all of us to eat but easier re food contamination. Hot Chips - James took photos for me as I cooked - he couldn't believe people would want to see hot chips. Brent was nearby & he sorted out the camera why it kept going too white - I learned you take the flash off. James took awesome photos - he has a new job as my offical photo man for blog! These hot chips James can eat again only some brands and we must read all labels. Lettuce & avocado. Avocado is soo cheap at the moment 75 c each I am buying heaps. A wonderful food for James & something that has FAT in it he can eat. Fresh bread from the market - Abbey got one loaf free as we got there as she was closing & must of liked Abbey we told her. It was Yum - only part of meal James can not eat. This was my grandmothers recipe & we had every Christmas Cucumber & tomato soaked in brown vinegar & pepper. She also added cream but I omit that so James can have it & he loves it! Do try it and add the cream it sounds yuck but is sooo yummy. My very popular beetroot, carrot & raisin salad - All the kids who come to my home love it & they all tell me they don't like vegetables. We are HUGE fruit & vegetable people. A fresh bowl of strawberries for desert = heaven!!! Icing sugar on top of strawberries. Yum! - This shaker was not a frugal buy it was about $5.00 and the same amount of icing sugar in a bag is about $1.00. But I wanted it so we can shake icing sugar. As Brent said I can reuse container so not really a non frugal buy. This meal didn't take long to whip up & sure beats takeaway food - Plus we have eaten well for far less the cost of takeaways. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments
