Meal ideas- A good old fashioned Fry up

Hello and hello! It is another blog post where I am sharing my meal ideas on a weekly basis. This week is a “Good old fashioned fry up”. I just had the craving of having one and no I am not disappointed at all.

You just can’t beat it in my opinion, and it is so quick and simple.

The one mistake I made was I cooked off the mushrooms first, next time I will do this as one of the last things, but it was still enjoyable and I have more for one again tomorrow if I feel like it.

I didn’t need to buy any chips or fries as there was already some there in the freezer, and already had streaky bacon. The best bacon to have a fry up with though is back bacon, but I bought it to into my dinner yesterday which was Macaroni and cheese.

Adding a bit a bacon to this lovely comfort dish I also like to make, just gives it an extra kick, and tastes even nicer.

All you need to make a fry up is,

• Sliced bread or baguette
• Bacon
• Sausages
• Mushrooms
• Eggs

If you want anything else, sweetcorn is nice along with onion cooked in with the mushrooms.

The total spend was on this shop which includes some Red Ribbon and Rocky bars and some cupcakes, was about £7.82. I did forget to pick up a receipt because my heart was in my mouth at one point because I accidentally left my rucksack in the bread isle. Luckily it was handed in.

However, doing this kind of shop each week, with a list which I put on a post it note, means that I have enough for another meal.

I want you to see that you don’t have to spend the earth to make the food that you want and can save loads of money by budgeting, having a list and challenging yourself to see how low you can get your shop. This is a great way to stay in budget and have enough food so I don’t have to keep dropping by the shops all of the time.

As we get nearer to Christmas more sales will be out, but there are items you can pick up now for the big day, such as snacks and sweets, ingredients to make your Christmas cake ready or your Christmas pudding, and begin to buy fresh vegetables, cutting them up and sticking them into the freezer.

So I will be back with another meal idea next week, I do really want to film a Amazon haul as promised I just lost my confidence a bit, in doing so, but going to find the strength to do one and when I do I will keep you posted.

Many thanks for reading,

P.S: Please remember that there will be many food banks needing more food as we get further into autumn and winter, and so if you see any body collecting food for the food banks, please remember to if you can, to donate an item or items and they will be much appreciative if you do.
