Cheap and Easy - Beef and Veggie Triangles.

‘Cheap and Easy.’
That is pretty much my goal for most meals we eat around here. We are on a rather tight food budget and I am not a whizz in the kitchen, so if I can combine those two things I am happy. Even happier if it’s tasty.

Zucchini Bread

The hail the other day made a total mess of our veggie patch. I am not sure what will survive and what will not recover from the loss of leaves, and whether the fruit that is all pock marked will be okay or not. Time will tell I guess. We are still eating zucchinis though!

Zucchini a Day

Some people are doing the ‘photo a day’ thing (where you blog a photo every day of the year) but in our house it is ‘zucchini a day’ where the challenge is to eat a zucchini every day until the end of the season!

Food blogs

OK so since my cooking post I’ve been asked a lot about the food blogs I lurk on and while I am not and will never claim to be a ‘foodie’ or a cook I still like to look and drool at these places…. so thought I’d share a few I have drooled over recently!
OMG […]

Reap what you sow, and then cook it!

Ok so I have never professed to be a good cook.. or even a semi decent one. In the past I have never even really liked cooking… it was just something you did because you needed to eat and it was too expensive to eat out all the time. So my MIL is probably going […]
