Risotto. Tomatoes and cheesy with olives. Simple and filling.

Also I ordered a busy people’s box from Fairfeed and it’s arriving tomorrow. 50 bucks for two serves each of soup, 2 mains and a side. Hoping I can use that in place of takeaway for late work nights

Ohh two days of 30 degrees coming up after all this rain. It’s gonna be STEAMY

I made the black beans from this https://youtu.be/bnO7xZeUYvI?feature=shared with roasted sweet potato and avocado and a bit of cheese. With a beer…

Ohh there’s some good stuff in there.

I am hoping for a big fat pub steak (treat night)

Roasted pan full of tomatoes onion and garlic. Salt and pepper and paprika. Olive oil and vinegar. Bake until yummy.

Will half blitz and put through some pasta.

My eyelids were so itchy all day. Stayed inside. Have been eating low allergy stuff all week. Aargh. Is this just a hell hayfever season or what?

chana masala from here https://www.leannebrown.com/chana-masala/

Lots of great ideas for cheap easy meals

I made the chana masala tonight. Was great

I do something similar just in a normal pot. Kidney or red beans soaked. You can pop the in boiling water and let sit for an hour if you weren’t organised enough to do it 8 hours before.

Boil beans for about 30 mins until half cooked. Then strain.

In that same saucepan add a Bit of oil, onions, tomato (or half a tin of tomatoes) brown rice, paprika and some stock powder and black pepper. Chili if you want

Budget 1:1 rice to beans and 2:1 water to rice mix. Add more at the end if you need.

Other then the veg all things you can buy in bulk and store. Really filling. Good mix of protein and carbs. Add some frozen veg through or cook and have some on the side. I find broccoli is the best at filling you up.
