By baking/cooking bulk meals, costs are kept to a minimum. For example, the chicken splitpea curry used two chicken breasts, a pack of yellow split peas and 3 cups of chopped vegetables with a can of chopped tomatoes. Cooked in the slow cooker whilst I was at work, this effort has provided us with 6 meals ( 3 serves each)
The biscuit recipe is fantastic ( and cheap-we like cheap!) because once you make the dough you can store it in the freezer until required. When you find yourself hankering after a sweet treat ( or those pesky in-laws drop in unannounced!) you can remove a roll of dough and in less than 20mins you have fresh biscuits!
What hapens in your family? Do you buy lunch or do you enjoy taking a packed meal from home?
Hi
ReplyDeleteHave just stumbled upon your blog via Down to Earth.
I am interested in your split pea casserole and was wondering if there were any other ingredients added like flavourings, water etc.
I am really enjoying your writings.
Thank you
Trish
Welcome Trish. :)
DeleteThe split pea casserole recipe was on the back of the pack-so I can't remember quite what spices I used! I'm sure that I would have used curry paste and there would have been onion.....I will have to chek the next pack I use! :)
