This Weeks 5 Frugal Things on a Friday Plus My Favourite Easter Recipes

Hello Dear Reader,

And just like that the Easter break is upon us. I am so looking forward to the little break, not travelling too far, mostly staying at home and cooking, baking, gardening and quilting. I need to go up to the bulk store on Saturday which means going on the highway, so I am hoping that everyone is already at where they want to be by midmorning Saturday, so the traffic won't be too bad.

Along with today's usual 5 frugal things I am going to link some of my favourite Easter recipes, it is always fun for me to look back on some terrific recipes that sometimes let lost and forgotten in the archives.

Here's what I got up to on the frugal front-

1. Made a batch of Thick and Creamy Vanilla Yoghurt using some starter that I saved from the last batch. I now freeze 100 grams of yoghurt when I make a new batch of yoghurt, the texture of the frozen and defrosted started is thinner but it still works.


2. Bought a 10 KG bag of bread flour from the Northside Discount Fruit Barn, it cost $13.49=$1.34 per kilo. That is much cheaper than the bulk store I go to, their's is $3.20 per KG. 


3. Made another light wholemeal loaf


4. Turned the glass bottle of glycerine up-side down to get every last drop out when making another batch of homemade toothpaste. I make our toothpaste to stop another plastic tube from going to landfill. If you are interested you can find the recipe is here.



5. Made a big batch of Jamie's Chilli Con Carne, it was so delicious and it did us for 3 nights dinners on the run. It was heavenly not to have to make dinner every night. I simply made a double batch of this recipe, it is full of pulses and veggies and make 500 grams of beef mince go a very long way. Cook once and eat thrice! Love it
