Frozen Vs Fresh Vegetables the facts

By Dominic On September 28, 2009 1 Comment

With such emphasis on eating raw and fresh vegetables today, many health-conscious cooks feel that they are committing an injustice when they buy and cook frozen vegetables for themselves or their families.

They don’t like to admit that they often use frozen produce instead of fresh even during the summer. Let’s examine point by point a new perspective on serving frozen vegetables.

Convenience: You just got in from work. Your family is hungry now or maybe you have unexpected dinner guests; what to do? Raw vegetables need more preparation time.  Just go to your freezer and pull out veggies. You can have a meal in very little time.


Enjoying the leftovers: Finally save money on your family budget

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.


Home Baking with the kids – a budget winner

By Dominic On May 13, 2009 1 Comment

At the moment many of us are lacking money through the current credit crunch and at the best of times doing things with the kids can be rather expensive. As a parent myself I too understand the costs and the fact that children get bored so quickly. You then find that they spend most of their day in front of the telly or playing alone with their toys.

But apart from arts and crafts children also adore baking especially licking the bowl out when you have finished making something with them. Us parents also love baking except for all the mess it makes but as long as you have a dustpan and brush to hand it is not as bad as you think.


Home Cooking Vs Takeaways

By Dominic On May 12, 2009 Comments Off

Yes we all love a good takeaway but given the choice would you rather have a takeaway or enjoy a tasty home cooked meal just like our mums used to make us in the good old days. I remember the gorgeous sunday roasts and the homemade lasagne that came with a lovely helping of salad.

How could you resist it?

With having a child you have to embrace the fast food culture but if I was childless I would probably go two years without any fastfood and I wouldn’t miss it at all.
