This week we've already celebrated Chinese New Year (it's the year of the Fire Monkey), Shrove Tuesday, and Valentines Day is on the way. The older I get, the more I appreciate these special days. I like having something to celebrate. Life should be a celebration. Did you read The Frugal Girl's post this week about looking on the bright side? I'm ...

Vegetable Lasagne Using Greek Yogurt
Before I go any further I need to make a statement: Despite always spelling yogurt, as yoghurt, I am now spelling it yogurt - even though it looks completely wrong to my eye. This is because on the yoghurt carton in my fridge it is spelled 'yogurt'. Does that make any sense at all? No? Okay let's continue with Food Waste Friday... Last Friday I decided ...
How We Are Using Up Watermelon
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 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 ...
Halloween Apple, Fig & Pumpkin Crumble
This week it's a very special Food Waste Friday. It's Halloweek Guys. I heard that term earlier in the week and I love love love it! No scary fridge photo today - it's looking fine and dandy. I'm going to pop it across on Facebook instead of in this post. Had a really good (zero waste) week. And as I wish that to continue, I have a No Waste ...
Food Waste Friday | The Movie
It's Friday Guys. Food Waste Friday. And I thought I'd do something a little bit different this week. I've produced a Food Waste Friday movie. Well kind of.

Vegetable Loaded Spaghetti Bolognese
My sincere apologies Guys - this post is 2 days late. I started typing it up Friday morning, to be finished later that day once my No Waste Tastes Great recipe was cooked. Unfortunately at 2.30pm I became ill and unable to finish the post! It's Food Waste Friday Guys. It's not my week to host. It's the original founder - Kristen's. Please do head on ...
Emergency Mid-Week Meal | Pasta Bake
It's Friday Guys. Food Waste Friday. This week Kristen (The Frugal Girl) is officially hosting so head on over to hers at the bottom of this post. Today's Friday photo is a rare glimpse of the outside of our fridge. Inside it's stocked with food items, as I had to do a grocery shop yesterday (Thursday). I'm all out of routine this week. My No Waste ...
