But it's just so good to know they are being taught the basics. I always loved cooking at school, and Violet is enjoying it too.

I try and keep my daily expenditure to under $10.00 for the two of us, but sometimes go over this. Today was relatively inexpensive. Coleslaw made with garden produce (pennies), fish that Harvey caught before we left on vacation (pennies), and about 25 cents worth of rice. That was supper. Lunches were leftovers from the night before and breakfast was either toast or in my case yogurt. For once we were well under the $10.00 mark.<br /><br />God bless.

Excited about that, macaroni cheese is one of my favourite things. <br /><br />Some good recipes there.

It's lovely to watch as young mum's and folk that have never been taught to budget and make things from scratch gradually become more and more aware and then share their recipe successes with each other.<br /><br />There's a real disconnect with food preparation and where food comes from with the majority of the younger generation at the moment, it's very sad.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-86125347339602339142017-09-22T06:35:02.926+01:002017-09-22T06:35:02.926+01:00Interesting and simple meals.

Do you make your white sauce without a knob of butter? Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.com
