I don’t like to waste anything, especially not food. Sometimes, sure, it just happens. Food goes off or becomes mouldy, perhaps it was too hot or it was left in the fridge for too long. We’ve all been there and done that at some stage but that’s not to say that we shouldn’t make […]
Stealthy Wealth has challenged us all to a Frugal February month. I like the idea of challenging ourselves on a daily basis to be less wasteful, more frugal and more resourceful with what we have. This allows us to save as much money as we can along the way – to invest or […]
On a hot summer’s day there is nothing more refreshing than a delicious salad to cool you down. The Tomato & Black Beans salad is one of our favourites, especially in summer, although we make it all year round – we enjoy it so much! Very often we have the Tomato & Black Beans […]
Spicy Chicken Livers may not be everyone’s cup of tea but we love this dish! A small serving of spicy chicken livers is very filling and can be enjoyed with a variety of staples: bread, rice, pasta or even pap. It’s easy to prepare and in less than 30 minutes’ cooking time you too […]
The danger with end-of-season sales is precisely that – they are sales. It’s very tempting to buy items on sale simply because they are on sale, we all know that. I can’t quite decide if I love sales or if I hate them. Yes, I love bargains! I love buying things for less than […]

Pickled beetroot is one of my favourite side dishes, or as an addition to leafy green salads, especially in summer. Beetroot is plentiful at this time of year and you can usually buy it in bulk at your local greengrocer’s at a good price. I mentioned in my post Grocery Finds & Savings in […]
There are a lot of recipes out there for Chili Con Carne. A lot! And many of those recipes require you to cook the minced meat from scratch, which we normally don’t. If we have a little leftover Bolognaise Sauce for Pasta, which I usually cook in large batches and freeze, that’s what […]
Now that the holidays are over, it’s going to only be a pleasure to walk into stores and have the space to move up and down the aisles, not to mention that it will probably take you just two minutes to get through the tills. Take advantage of this time of the year to […]
