So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Shroom Burgers And Other Ways To Save Money

By Frances Thomas


Are you looking for ways to cut back in the kitchen without having to sacrifice on taste? Shroom burgers and other vegetable-focused recipes are the perfect way to surprise your family with delicious recipes, without having to break the bank everytime you go shopping. By simply cutting our meat you can save a surprising amount of money.

Everyone knows that meat is expensive, even if you buy the cheapest type available to you. However, noone wants to eat cheap meat because of how it is raised and how inferior the taste is, so the next best thing is to find inventive recipes that do not need meat. Vegetarian recipes can be extremely tasty and surprising if you do a little hunting.

Unfortunately, in comparison to a lot of the processed food available to us, vegetables can often also be a fairly expensive option. The cheapest items in the shop are usually the worst for us, including ready meals, frozen food and sweets and chips, so it is no wonder that those on a budget are often tempted by the more processed food.

One way to cut back on cost is to ensure that you waste as little food as possible. This is particularly the case with fruit and vegetables as they have a very short lifespan. Some of the cheaper stores for fruit and veg often offer produce with the shortest lifespan, so this is an important consideration. However, if you look in people's waste, it is often a mixture of food that has expired and food that people simply don't want anymore.

Planning out the meals for the week and doing a big shop is a good way to save money and budget each week. You will quickly get to grips with how much money you need each month for food and find ways to cut back wherever you can, without feeling like you are restricted. Avoiding daily shopping will save a great deal of money each week.

If you have a large family and find it difficult to satisfy everyone, sometimes meal planning can be something that you dread. Trying to find new and exciting recipes that might please everyone is a way to get the passion back into the kitchen and make cooking a fun task again. Find recipes that will take people by surprise.

Batch cooking is an easy technique to help your budget. Cook more than you need for one meal and freeze the rest for another day when you need it. This can be used whether you live alone or have a large family. Simply freeze it in individual servings or in a large pan, depending on when and how you need it. It also allows you to have easy access to a variety of meals so you don't get bored with eating the same thing all the time.

Whether you are a vegan, vegetarian or meat-eater, cooking on a budget doesn't need to be an impossible chore. Half the battle is in finding the right recipes, that will entice your family and save pennies at the same time. Challenge yourself and your cooking ability and you will be surprised what you can achieve.
