    Getting three (plus)days out of a chicken!

    19th March 2014 /

    (part of feed your family for under €50) I love a good roast Chicken! The smell gets me more than anything but I’ve always been squeamish about the whole pulling it apart and making a stock out of it.. There’s nothing to making a roast chicken, you just throw it in the oven for about 90 minutes and it’s done, but lately I’ve been getting more and more out of a roast chicken, I make gravy from the juices, a lemon chicken risotto with the leftovers andmy famous chicken & rice soup! We all know how to roast a chicken, put it on a tray and just throw it in…

    The Accidental Cocktail..

    18th March 2014 /

    So I’m drinking one of the Bulmers ( Magners) pear ciders Hubster bought me, celebrating St.Patrick’s day with a libation, I’m not really into boozey cider ( even though my Grandfather was from Somerset, England, it should be in my blood) I wasn’t really enjoying it because it was sort of tasteless, so I had a peek in my drinks cabinet to see what Spirits I had in there and there was a bottle of Cointreau, smiling up at me, beside a jar of cocktail cherries in almond syrup, sort of like Amaretto… So I filled a large glass with ice, poured in some Perry, added a shot of Triple…

    Crafting: Make Do & Mend!

    16th March 2014 /

    So today I find a bag of old window scheme from my days as a visual merchandiser… Lots of Oriental style frog fastners and these faceted beads which I decided to use as my Sunday project. I had an old cardigan which had the collar torn a bit at the back of the neck from catching on a hook, so after mending that… I decided to cover the stitching with these babies! This cardigan has been sitting in a bag at the bottom of my wardrobe for a couple of years, you know when you have a wardrobe staple that fits perfectly…. Shapes you perfectly?..It’s hard to throw it away…

    Budget: Feed your family for less than €50 a week

    14th March 2014 /

    We’ve all been there, most of us are paid monthly and often there’s “Too much month, too little money” I’m going to share some recipes for dinners which alone roll in at under €32, leaving you with €18 to spend on lunches and essentials! I’ve spent the past week doing this so I could share with you and prove that it works. My family are serious food snobs and my Mum raised me to buy the best of everything which is not always the best way and certainly not economic! Nowadays there is so much competition that you can get great tasting food for pittance, Tesco, for example are king…
