More Thrifty Meals

On the same lines as my last post I have found a great and tasty meal that does not cost the earth......

You will needs:

1 bag of Sainsburys Economy Cauliflower FROZEN .......78p
1 Bag of Sainsburys Economy Plain Flour ...... 48p
1 Block of Sainsburys Economy Cheese .....1.60
Butter .... 84p
1 pint of whole milk .....94p

Boil Cauliflower until soft and drain, not the whole bag, this will do a lot of meals!!!
Melt 1 oz of butter and seive in 1 oz of the plain flour, whisk as you add the flour,
slowly add the milk and some grated cheese.
Bring sauce to the boil and pour over the cooked cauliflower,
Top with some more grated cheese and bake in over for 15 mins or until brown on top.

GREAT VALUE and HEALTHY !!!!!

Thrifting Foods

Like everyone, we are feeling the pinch and so I am trying to return to some good old fashioned ways of cooking and providing everyday food for my family....I sat down and started to write a BASIC list such as cheese, eggs, bacon, milk, flour, butter etc etc etc the sorts of foods that you can buy and keep in the fridge/storecupboard and make an variety of things with......such as on saturday morning I make egg and bacon and then I might use the eggs to make some cakes for the boys and then I may use the eggs and bacon and cheese and make a quiche.......

sooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

Do any of you have any thrifty food ideas that you would like to share, some tips for adding simple ingrediants to make a meal special without breaking the bank ????
