five pound Food Challenge!

Join the challenge on my event page to get involved: https://www.facebook.com/events/841478752643161/  Hi guys! This week I want to talk to you about a challenge that I'm starting called the five pound Food Challenge! This is to see what everyone can come up with for this budget -- can you still eat healthy etc. The reason I want to do this is because a lot of people struggle with money these days and whether or not they can eat healthy. Also to see how it feels to have to come up with a meal with only that amount of money to try and make us more aware of what we spend and waste. Whether you are a regular vlogger or not, come and get involved and post your...

Butternut and tomato risotto

Hi everyone my name is Lucy and I would love to share some of my good, cheap, healthy and baby friendly recipes with you. This is my first go at this blogging thing so please be patient and any feedback would be much appreciated. I decided to go on this journey after searching for loads of cheap dishes, books, the whole lot and I have found it hard because even the budget-friendliest recipes out there has ingredients I do not have, so this is my attempt to put together a list of recipes with ingredients that people do have in their cupboard or even just ingredients that can be purchased cheaply.  Now I am by no means an amazing cook but I do enjoy and love coo...

VIDEO: Quick and Simple Chicken Chorizo!

This is an old video from last year (Nov 2016) which my husband began recording without any warning (as you can probably tell from my reactions)! He was trying to encourage me to start a food blog back then, and now it's finally here! I'll update this post to include the recipe properly, since the beginning of this recipe wasn't caught on camera. Despite the randomness of the video below, some people on Facebook did manage to follow along and successfully make their own dish from this -- so just bear with my husband's silliness and commentary ;)   Watch the video below for the process   Let me know how yours goes in the comments below -- post photos!...
