Well I am very excited with my new blog and have already got one follower. Yes, thank you Jen. I told you in my last blog that I am trying to be frugal and creative when it comes to food. I have been inspired by other blogs about meal planning and how it is great to save money as you don't waste food and buy stuff that you really don't need. I love that some blogs take photos of their food and any wastage. I suppose when you know other people maybe looking at it then you will try to be creative and not let everyone see how wasteful you are. Well I will show you some meals but as I share a house with my mum who loves to buy and waste, I can't do it. However, I am trying to inspire my mum to plan meals so we can cut down on overspending and wastage. I will let you know how this goes. I have started to buy a fruit and vegie box which is cheaper ( I think) will check this out from a wholesaler. It costs $40 and you get a mixture of fruit and vegetables. From this I will try and create our weekly meals. So tonights meal was inspired by a singles mom blog. I tweaked the ingredients a bit as I didn't have it all and wanted to use what I had in the cupboard and fridge , but I used the zucchni, sweet potato, pumpkin and capsicum from the box. I just cut them up, added garlic, pepper and salt and fried them and added water to soften them a bit. For the chicken, I marinated it in red wine vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil and mixed herbs. It tasted ok and mum said she liked it and would eat again!! I was also thinking I could add rice and take it to work the next day which will save me buying from the local shops:)
