The day before the LBL challenge was a nice day, it was sunny, I made
a fantastic apple crumble sponge cake, not quite sure why I did but It
was divine!
I also done all my prep work for the
challenge. I found shopping quite easy, as a student I do buy the smart
price and supermarket brands, Tastes the same, just a whole load
cheaper!
when I wen shopping I started with the basics, Rice,
Pasta, Flour, Tinned tomatoes, those sorts of things! Then with whatever
I had left over I got butter, Frozen veg (I find it has less waste, so
you get more for your money). I was lucky enough to get a pack of really
cheap buiscuits, Rich tea! Yum!
I went into the
challenge a bit blind folded, I hadnt prept a menu for each day, I just
walked into the shop and went for it, However I am used to cooking on a
budget, this was really quite difficult.
I spent most of my time putting something in my basket and then taking it out again.
I
decided that every day for breakfast I would have porridge and jam,
easy, quick and super cheap! I don't usualy eat breakfast but it was a
wise idea, keeps me going untill lunch, I normally snack between then!
When I got home I decided to make my menu from the items that I had.
Breakfast, Porridge
Lunch, Soup or broth, Left over's from last night's dinner
Dinner, Spaghetti and mixed veg, Pasta and tomato, Veg curry, flatbread
Snacks, Buiscuits
Not too bad, not too inspiring either
