With Lovely Hubby and I now empty nesters we have been eating lots of leftovers, I made this beaut Bolognese Bake on Sunday and it made quite a lot, talk about the gift that keeps giving. We had it for dinner on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, it also supplied lunch on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
You know the swings and roundabouts I mentioned in last weeks 5 Frugal Things post, well it was definitely more of a high end, swing-a-thon on the food budget this week. But eating at home is always going to be cheaper than going out, so I am not going to give that too much thought.
If you're looking at the photo below and thinking how many tomatoes do they need? Well, I didn't purposely count out 26 tomatoes to take home, they were out the front of the Northside Discount Fruit Barn in one of those "sold by the bucket" tables. I didn't know how many there were until I emptied the bucket out into one of my mesh bags for weighing at the register! Never mind, they have been great in my salad sandwiches for lunches and I have also roasted a huge tray of red capsicum, tomatoes, egg plant, onions and garlic to be used on Pizzas with left over roast lamb for tonights dinner.
