About me

I am not a food nutritionist. I am an ordinary wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, colleague, cousin, aunt, teacher, office chick, etc.

I love to cook - we both love to cook - slowly over the years I have stepped back a bit and now my husband does most of the cooking during the week and weekends are for experimenting.

We love Asian influences on our foods, and also Italian - but we aren't limited - rather if something catches our eye or we see something that just looks fantastic, we try and recreate it at home (sorry restaurants, but we like it better at home).

We try and stick to absolute minimum spend on meals - its almost a competition to see who can create the cheapest meal with the most flavours and best products - boring probably - but when you actually work out per head what a meal costs, it gives you a better perspective on what it will probably cost you in your weekly grocery spend.

From here, we see that while our eldest two sons have moved out from home they too are looking for absolute budget meals - and so this blog started - a way to feed my kids even if they aren't at home anymore.

Balancing between full time work and running a home - our aim is to save - save money, save on waste, save on an expanding waist line.

Ideas, questions, comments are all welcome. Photos of my creations are coming - sometimes the quality of the photos isn't as crash hot as the meal itself - remember, not everything can be perfectly captured on a camera - still waiting for Smellovision to become a reality.

Eat, Live, Love, have Fun, save money - and most of all - make a mess in that kitchen.
