Ok these two weeks are challenging to say the least to keep within budget. But lentils and beans seem to be big features. I also had great success with the corned beef and bread so gonna use that again next week as there is plenty of meat in the freezer and flour to make more bread. It was hugely more economical to make my own rather than buying and I need nothing to make it next week.
Lentils I really should read up on the different varieties and colors. I tend to stick with red for now but I'm certainly entertaining the idea of expanding on that. Tonight's far is gonna be a slow cooked Indian lentil curry which smells amazing already. I'm also going to jazz up my rice with cumin seeds. My only trouble was not knowing what the seeds are known in the Indian store. Phone to the rescue! I'm also excited to use fresh curry leaves. This is gonna be an adventure!
Now tomorrow it's my turn to cook and looks, I'm trying to keep it simple and do my beef stroganoff and I'm also making dessert all done in crock pots! Hopefully it will be pretty easy.
Next week it's a case of more beans and lentils and keeping it basic. I am just go grateful right now my hubby is not complaining.
Oh and I have some lovely naan bread in the freezer from the last batch I made so I'm gonna convert them into homemade French onion pizzas! One of my favorites and really cheap as I won't have to worry about the bases I can splurge for the bacon.
