It's Friday Guys - time for No Waste Tastes Great Click here to find out more about my Friday routine Simply Being Mum's Friday Fridge Okay, so I've stepped it up a gear this week. All there is to use up are the grapes, and they'll be eaten over the weekend. In fact supplies are so low that I have just enough milk left for another coffee this morning ...
Simply Being Mum’s Spring Sale 2012 Starts
I read a while back that the average UK household contains £600 worth of stuff that is no longer required and could easily be sold. Now it's very annoying when someone quotes a statistic like that and cannot find the source to back it up. Sorry but, I'm going to be one of those annoying people today. I have a good idea it was an article in one of the ...
Simple (Partly Slow-Cooked) Chicken & Mushroom Pasty Recipe
I'm not sure whether the word 'pasty' is one that would be recognised internationally, but for anyone living in the UK, it is probably most well-known for its Cornish roots. Pasties are different from pies, but how really I couldn't say for sure. All I know is I wouldn't walk along the English coast eating a pie, but I would a pasty! Pasties originally ...

What I Do Buy And Why

Not Buying It – School Meals
I would like to buy school meals. Really I would. And for almost the duration of an academic year I did, for my Daughter. The idea that I am supporting the local school and my child is receiving a hot, nutritious balanced meal sounds perfect to me. However there's always been a niggling doubt that if I sat down and costed it all out, that the maths ...
Making It – Simple Healthy Home-Made Pizza
I am definitely one for building simple family traditions. One that we've been trying out at Chez Wright is cinema night. Saturday night is now Pizza and Popcorn in front of the box (in the wind down to bedtime). Yeah I know TV - shame on me ;-)! But those who follow my blog regularly know that I'm not convinced that TV Ruined Your Life. One for building ...
Simple Saturday Afternoon Activity – Decorated Chocolate Apples
Very often on a Saturday the Kid's and I do an activity and I've thought previously about posting about it here. Today's activity looked so yummy I thought I'd share. It's also so very simple, but that's the point. It's something the Kid's can do themselves, with a little supervision and assistance. I'm keen for my Kid's to be 'hands on' in the kitchen, so ...
