Good morning, everyone.

Today's plans:
B:  porridge with jam and natural yogurt
L:  Not sure, probably toast and pate with an apple
D:  beef casserole, mash and veg
Ss:  apple, orange

From the freezer:
The beef casserole - several portions too, as I'm cooking for others as well as for myself.
Bread for the toast.

The frugal factor:
Porridge for breakfast is always a great choice and the jam and yogurt are both home made (and cheaper, which is not always so, of course, just usually)
While beef is not the most frugal of meats, this was some YS beef that I was lucky to get hold of, casseroled long and slow and then frozen in portions.  It's good flavoured meat and should go down a real treat!


And a bonus!  Over January I have lost 10 lbs!  That does include losing the post-Christmas gain, of course, but even so, I'm well pleased.  It shows me yet again that I can be healthy and eat properly without spending a shedload of cash in the process.




I'm trying to use up the multitude of stuff in the freezer.
I want to make the most of my hard earned pension so am aiming for sensible frugality in my meal planning and making.
I have gall bladder problems, high cholesterol and high blood pressure so am taking myself in hand with low fat, high fruit and veg, generally healthy meals but with plenty of flavour - and frugal.
