I came across this blog through an article in The Guardian.
This is the blog called theskintfoodie.com .....I think you might enjoy it.....I did.

Another interesting & useful blog helping us to save our money, time & sanity. I am definitely doing this to some veg that are left over from recent deliveries. Here's the link.

Good idea, but it made me smile because I do exactly this - without the onion - as quick parrot food. I've often had a munch myself since it's so tasty. It makes a good salad with added sprouted seeds and grains, and some chopped nuts. From the freezer it can soon be added to lentil or bean mixtures and spiced up. I usually have cooked grains in the freezer as well - amaranthe, quinoa, buckwheat - and can throw a meal together for myself in minutes.
Never assume anything - except an occasional air of intelligence.
I'll try that again!
And another frugal food blog I found yesterday.......some really interesting ideas on there which I am definitely going to try, like the Beetroot and Feta Tart. I've just made her Fruit Loaf, it's in the oven now.
Don't know if anyone watched the Great British Budget Menu programme on BBC1 a week or two ago - the idea being that 3 celebrity chefs (James Martin, Angela Hartnett and Richard Corrigan) would each live for a couple of days with a family struggling financially to feed themselves. The chefs were supposed to cook them meals according to the food budget the families each had. Well, I thought it was pathetic, the chefs clearly weren't used to even shopping in supermarkets for themselves (they obviously get their minions to do it for them), let alone sticking to a budget. One chef, Richard Corrigan, didn't even make a decent attempt to stick to his family's budget and blew more than £11 on a huge piece of salmon! The chefs didn't seem to understand that if someone has just, say for the sake of argument, £20 to spend on food, then that is it - once that £20 limit is reached, there is no more money so blowing the budget simply isn't an option. Lesley who writes the above blog mentioned it, as have several other frugal food bloggers - all of whom would have had a much better idea of how to feed a family cheaply but well.
learning to love veg…..except celery :-O
