Day 80
Is it really, only 10 days to go until the end of my challenge? Not long till I can go back to the supermarket? Not likely! The highlight of my week was Terre à Terre in Brighton, I had the most amazing meal there with my niece and sister-in-law, the food and service...
Noodles for lunch today, tomorrow and the next day
I was sitting at my desk in my home office (the spare bedroom) and suddenly I realised was starving. I'm not sure about you but this happens to me all the time when I'm working on my own; I get distracted by something and before I know it it's several hours later and...
Day 73
I started this week off really well, lots of batch cooking for our lunches and loads of pots of overnight oats for our breakfasts. I knew it was likely to be a busy week for me, I had lots of appointments in the diary which meant if I wasn't organised I'd end up...

Pigs Cheeks with Pasta
Don't be afraid of pigs cheeks, they are really tasty, have virtually no fat, and really cheap. This recipe serves 4 with a side of veg, or two plus two good lunches, it has hardly any ingredients so is a really economical meal, coming in at much...
Day 56
Today is the first day I’ve shopped since my last blog post – 10 days ago. Last night we finished the last of the veg box from a fortnight ago (potatoes and cabbage) along with stuffed burgers I froze a few weeks ago and spicy beans made with some store cupboard...
