Please don’t stop. I can live vicariously through you.
Frozen veggies work well for me because of the price point and it lasts for awhile. It was especially bad when fresh stuff was so ridiculously priced.
Combine that with basic rice or pasta and some sauce and that’s an easy simple meal.
My most recent one was also just doing a lot of frankfurts in pasta sauce since it was cheap even though it’s processed to hell and back.
Rice and pasta can do a long way if you good the cheaper no name brands and some of them are quite decent in texture.
For meat I look for discounted items and freeze them or if I want fresh I’ll choose chicken drumsticks as I love the meat on them and they’re easy to cook.
I hope I haven’t contributed to making you feel bad about what you’re posting up for us to all see.
Please don’t stop posting them up.
Also I don’t do takeaway at all anymore but I did learn to self cook and make burgers and I get about 4 or 6 meals out of the same price it would cost to get it takeaway.
Naw. I promise it wasn't you who made me rethink it was actually about the interest rates staying the same and the collective relief from everyone.
Drumsticks are definitely a winner. So many options. Spices are my thing too. Curry powder, chilli flakes, mustard. I have a lot of different herbs and spices. It's a bit of an obsession.
Yeah. I sometimes cut the meat off and add it to a meal. It’s pretty easy cooking if I put it into the air fryer.
I love basic seasoning, mild curry and rosemary and mint goes a treat on stuff. Even on potato chips!
Cumin and chicken are a match made in heaven. Just saying.
I haven’t tried cumin by itself as a season. Closest I have is mild curry powder I think?
Oh also I just finished my massive bowl of pasta.
Eating a cut up pink lady apple and maybe I might cut some oranges too if I want anymore but I’m fairly full now :D
Cumin is more like nutmeg I suppose. If you sprinkle it with salt it'll give a pop of flavour to your chicken. It's found in every middle eastern pantry.
Oh salt. Salt makes everything better!
