Today is the day - the first day in a very long time that I haven't had any coffee (or anything sweet for that matter) by now... The headache is a little annoying but otherwise it's not so bad! I say that now, but I'm sure after my 20th bowl of lentil soup I won't be feeling quite so positive...
Yesterday I did the shop and cooked up a storm. We had $30 to spend to feed 3 people for 5 days. I managed to use $29.82 so I was quite proud of myself... It takes a little planning and investigating and shopping around but its do-able. I found that Coles or Aldi were the best for staples like flour, margarine, pasta, spices and milk and Harris Farm did a fab job at supplying the pumpkin, potatoes, eggs, lentils and cauliflower.
Our menu for the week looks like this:
Breakfast - either porridge or eggs and damper
Lunch & Dinner - a choice between a pumpkin and lentil soup, a potato & cauliflower curry & a pumpkin & (tiny bit of) chicken pasta
Snacks - a little more of either eggs, damper or porridge
So far the damper fresh out of the oven is the winner... I'll post you a picture and a recipe in my next post - it really is so easy!
