Mummy Kitchen: Three Ways To Cook Minced Beef

By on Monday, April 25th, 2011 | Comments Off

If there is one meat that is cheap yet incredibly tasty the award has to go to minced beef and I am a huge fan. I must buy at least one pack a week. Whether it is to make spaghetti and meatballs or lasagne you can do pretty much anything with it. Imagine if you sent two people into seperate kitchens with a pack of mince you can imagine that totally different items would end up being cooked.

I will often go into the kitchen and make meatballs where as Dominic is more likely to opt for cottage pie which is an old English favourite of his.

Dominic’s $7 Family Meals:Turkey Stir Fry And Victoria Sandwich Cake

By on Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | 2 Comments

Happy New Year to all my blog readers. I thought I would start this year with a Turkey Stir Fry as you attempt to get rid of the rest of your Christmas leftovers. We personally had a turkey stir fry on boxing day and it was wonderful. Plus it felt even better knowing how little it actually cost!!!!

Many don’t realise the asset of actually freezing some of their turkey once it is cool and then it will last even longer. So you could be having your christmas turkey on valentines day!!!

Enjoying the leftovers: Finally save money on your family budget

By on Monday, August 24th, 2009 | 1 Comment

In this day and age it is such ashame if you waste food whether you are on a budget or not. The sight of rotting food in the back of the fridge is the last thing you want to see but how can you stop it?

Even if you write an amazing shopping list and don’t overspend things come up and a certain planned meal can soon be forgotten about. Remember all those times you have gone into the freezer and discovered that the meat you had planned to eat sometime this week is past its due by date. You start getting cross with yourself that you wasted money on a nice piece of food only to have to throw it in the bin.
