It's Food Waste Friday guys and we are using up watermelon! Watermelon is a recurrent theme on Food Waste Friday. The options (in my opinion) are limited. I class it is the same food waste category as lettuce (boo!). When using up watermelon there were just two options. Eat it quickly or freeze it for smoothies. That was until Tiny Chef stepped ...

The Best Food Save And Worst
I want to focus this post on the best food save I have made lately. To balance it out I'll also share the worst food save I ever made. My Friday fridge is over on Facebook today Guys. Food Waste Friday is here to make us all mindful of what we throw away that could indeed be put to use. To discard food just because there is a lack of inspiration as to ...
Spicy Sweet Potato Slow Cooked Soup
Today's recipe was inspired by the sweet potatoes I found in my store-cupboard on Friday. You may have seen my Food Waste Friday post talking about waging a war on waste? I promised to post my No Waste Tastes Great recipe that I planned to rustle up to ensure the sweet potatoes did not go to waste. The idea had been to make a slightly different soup, but I ...
War On Waste
It's Friday Guys. Food Waste Friday or rather #foodwastefriday. On a Friday I always check out what's happening over on Twitter. The hashtag #foodwastefriday is being used more and more.

Adapting The Paleo Diet For A Family
It's that time of year where we may be feeling motivated to take control of our diets. If you've packed on a few extra pounds toward the end of the year, then January is the perfect month to make those changes.

The First Friday Of 2016
It's the 1st of the month and 1st of the year. It's also a Friday. Food Waste Friday has been a little sporadic lately here at the blog. With circumstances beyond my control since November, and just the general lack of home-organisation and meal-planning, I haven't been the greatest ambassador to encourage others to reduce their own food ...
Donald Russell Lamb Casserole Recipe
We've been eating a lot of poultry at Chez Wright. As a choice of meat it definitely has been top of the list recently. But we were getting bored of chicken stew! Then serendipity struck. I'd received an e-mail from Donald Russell (the online butcher) introducing themselves. After serendipity, inspiration struck. Their website has a variety ...
You Should See My Fridge!
But you can't! Food Waste Friday or no Food Waste Friday it's outta bounds today. My fridge hasn't been my own the last couple of weeks.
