It's 13th January and we're still finishing off the odds and sods from the freezer, fridge and cupboards. On Friday we ate jacket potatoes cooked in the air fryer with salad and prawns for Gray and cheese for me.......
On Saturday I cooked a quorn cottage pie which was served with carrots, peas and lashings of vegetarian gravy 😁 It made 4 portions so we had the same again on Sunday, making it super easy for me to get on with other jobs to make use of our half price electricity slot.
For today's lunch, I will air fry the potato slices which I picked up on Christmas Eve and put into the freezer......
......and serve them with a poached egg each (the last of the eggs) and a small tin of baked beans (the last tin shared)
I'm struggling to find a protein to serve with meals now so I've arranged a Sainsbury's delivery for tomorrow afternoon. This should, hopefully, give me enough for another week or so, I hope for a bit longer in honesty. That's if everything is in stock 🤞 Many of the prices have increased again since my last order before Christmas 😒 My £50 limit hasn't gone very far....
The good news is that our Daughter bought a voucher for tea/coffee and cakes at our local nurseries for Graham's birthday and we are visiting them this afternoon to choose our seeds for the allotment (to be paid for using birthday vouchers) and Gray suggested having some cake this afternoon. As the slices of cake are huge, usually costing just under £5 each 👀, I will probably take a box with me to bring back any surplus cake for later. Waste not, want not!
Right-o I'm off to cook lunch....
Thanks for popping in. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
The doggy-box sounds a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI was about to say exactly the same as Frugally Challenged! 🎂 🍰
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of writing up a small top up shopping list, checking the prices on the supermarket website, and have also noticed the price increases. Seems like every time we shop now, prices have gone up. Ooh, a cake box - how lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat meal looks delicious and very well balanced. I love my Dobbie's Plus card, for £15 a year we get two free coffees a month, and on or around my birthday we get 2 additional coffees and two cakes or scones. It's the only place that lets a companion celebrate with you completely free of charge and not have to buy a single thing, and as they allow dogs in Mavis gets to come too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've just been in Morrisons for a few bits, wanted some oranges, bag of 4 £2.20, 4 loose £1.20, some Fairy capsules and conditioner, bread, bananas, mint teabags, ibuprofen and Aveeno skin lotion - £27.36. I'm sure I'm spending more every week. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteHope you had a delicious cake at the garden centre and brought some home too
