Easy breakfast this morning – tinned spaghetti on toast of home made bread!<\/p>\n
Lunch was left over salad and zucchini slice and tea was a bit of a cheat’s one as I’ve been in my Skinflint workshop today.<\/p>\n
I made the Quarter Cake from the Thermomix Budget Busters book and put the mixture in patty pans. I couldn’t bring myself to use the full 250g sugar with only 250g flour, so reduced this to 190g and the mixture was plenty sweet enough.
\nThese worked out quite well, with a flat top, so good for decorating. My patty cakes usually have a peak and rise a lot more than these. I don’t really see this recipe as a budget one with 250g butter and 4 eggs!<\/p>\n
Breakfast for tea. There were still some chops from the other night which hadn’t been cooked, so<\/p>\n
Chops, home made wedges, baked beans, eggs (fresh from a friends ‘girls’) and bacon:<\/p>\n
Wedges<\/b>
\n3 potatoes, unpeeled, cut in half along the flattest part and then into wedges and steamed for a few minutes in the Varoma basket.
\nPlace in a plastic bag with 1\/4 cup rice flour, salt, pepper, dash of chilli powder and shake to coat.
\nDeep fry or spray with oil and bake in a hot oven until cooked.<\/p>\n
A dearth of green on the plate, but we had salad for lunch.<\/p>\n
No expenditure today.
\nTotal spend for 8 days: $75.09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
