Divine Intervention Or Just Clumsiness?

October 21, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

**The first part of this post, you are about to read, was started last Friday morning: Original title - How To Start Shopping Naked: It's way too obvious to start this post with a pun. So I won't. If you are reading this, I'm guessing you know what naked shopping is? Again I'll resist the temptation to do a 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink ohhhhh-matron' ...

Can Carrot Soup Help You See In The Dark?

September 30, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

It was recently suggested that I have my eyes tested. It's becoming quite common for me to enthusiastically wave at someone in the street to discover they aren't who I thought they were. So far I haven't gotten into any awkward situations, but it's only a matter of time. Going to the opticians isn't something I would choose to do, I'd rather go to the ...

The UK’s First Food Waste Supermarket

September 23, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

Food Waste Friday Readers Recipes

In a world where all news seems to be bad news and it's constantly reported on screen and in the newspapers, it was a breath of fresh air to see this headline appear on my Facebook timeline yesterday: The UK's first food waste supermarket has opened, and it's 'pay as you feel' Britain's first food waste supermarket opened this week, in a West Yorkshire ...

Slow Cooker Vegetable Stock Recipe

September 16, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

slow cooker vegetable stock recipe

This slow cooker vegetable stock recipe has been one I've been meaning to share for a while. What better day than Food Waste Friday to do just that - particularly as I had 2 bags of vegetable scraps to use up. This vegetable stock can of course be made with fresh vegetables, but it's perfect for extending the life of those waifs and strays of the ...

Two Pies To Use Up Potatoes

July 8, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

Happy Food Waste Friday Y'all. This Friday I'd like to share two ways to use up potatoes. Or rather two pies to use up potatoes. If you read my post yesterday, you'll already know that my fanatical meal-planning has taken a dive. Currently I'm not obsessively planning dinners for the week to come, it's more in the style of ...

Does Size Matter? Let’s Talk Freezers!

June 17, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

This Food Waste Friday, let's talk freezers. As my family grows older (and the kids take on more sporting activities) there is a definite increase in the amount of food that is being consumed. My grocery philosophy has always been to buy just what we need for the next 7 days - and this has worked to date. But I'm noticing a change in the volume of food ...

Food Waste Friday | Introducing Rejuce

May 27, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

As a blogger I'm approached daily by brands and businesses. In fact the majority of my blog e-mail consists of PR & Media companies contacting me asking for collaboration. You may have noticed that there have been a handful of sponsored posts over the last few months. 'Handful' being the point. I only ever give airtime to things I truly believe in. ...

How To Make Watermelon Lemonade

How To make Watermelon Lemonade

Watermelon regularly makes an appearance here on Food Waste Friday. Guess what? We have watermelon to use up once more. I was a little over enthusiastic when cutting the kids watermelon for an after-school snack yesterday. It didn't all get eaten, so into my Nutri-Ninja cup it went. And it's still there! Time for watermelon lemonade me ...

How Do You Save Bananas?

May 13, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

How do you save a banana?

It's Friday Guys - Food Waste Friday. Today we are going bananas (yes even I cringed at that!). Yesterday my ham-handed hubby managed to accidentally split the skins on two over-ripe bananas while separating the third from the bunch. Now, I'm no stranger to making a banana save: There's Banana and Ginger Loaf with no added fat or sugar ...
