On the most part I have taken an active step to find more meals which are not carb based, which isn't easy, particulary on a budget. But it has made me find some really interesting meals, a couple of which are now in our regular rotation :) Things that sound weird and then when you try them are amazing like meatballs in butternut squash !
It doesn't look like much, it sounds a bit weird, but my goodness it is delicious and suprisingly filling! It also only cost something like £3 to feed me and my family (2 adults and 2 children) which is cheap! *could be even cheaper if I made my own meatballs too*
Another new favourite of ours is Shakshuka, which is basically eggs cooked in a tomato based sauce, with lots of yummy spices etc. Simple, cheap and really really tasty!
Shakshuka served with side salad
But no matter how much I try, I just cannot make the cheap, simple, omelette! I end up with a broken up, eggy mess, I like to coin my eggopolypse! But the kids like it so I guess thats all that matters!!
