easyrecipe – Thrifty Tastebuds

Hi everyone,

Sorry it’s been so long, I had to stop blogging when I became a teacher but I’ve now left my job. It’s a long story.

I wanted to jump on today and tell you about a quick and easy dinner that’s budget-friendly and healthy at less than 500 calories. The meal in question is stuffed tomatoes, if you don’t like tomatoes or don’t have any beef tomatoes at home you can have stuffed peppers instead. It’s really simple to make. (price and calories is based on shopping at aldi)

What you need:

Beef tomatoes – 1 per person (or peppers)

Savory rice- 1 packet serves 2

(I used Everyday Essentials Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice 120g)

Couscous- 1 packet of instant couscous serves 4 –

(I used Make In Minutes Cous Cous – Sundried Tomato 100g)

Cheese- no more than 40g

Method:

Make up your couscous according to packet instructions.

Cut the top off your tomato or pepper and take out the inside. Add the couscous to the tomato or pepper and bake with the top on for 10 minutes.

At the same time boil your rice according to the packet instructions

After the 10 minutes in the oven, take the tomato or pepper out of the oven take the top off and add cheese to the top of the couscous, put it back in the oven for 5 minutes.

After the 5 minutes serve with the rice.

It’s super easy and extra delicious. Hope these ideas help, Thanks for joining me on this journey and I hope to see you soon.

Hi all,

Today I’ve been a busy bee doing some cooking so that I could get a recipe to you that you can make for 37p a portion and its super easy to!

All you need is a:-

chopping board

a knife

a fork

a jug

and the ingredients.

This recipe is for a crustless quiche which takes around 40 minutes to cook but and 10 to prepare.

Ingredients:

3 Eggs, Cottage cheese and then whatever you want , I usually have ham, cheese, mushrooms, onion, peppers and tomatoes.

Prepare all your ingredients, dice the onion, mushrooms, pepper and ham and chop your tomatoes in half.

Whisk the eggs with a fork until its a smooth mixture, then add the cottage cheese and whisk all of that together.
Add all the ingredients and mix.
Transfer it to your dish.
Bake on Gas mark 6/ 400 f / 200 c for 40 minutes

This is such an easy and budget friendly recipe, all the ingredients I used were bought from Aldi and it serves 4 with ease. You can even use reusable cake cases and make snacks that you can keep in the fridge to help keep you healthy in lockdown.

I usually make this at the end of the week to finish off all the little leftover ingredients and bring them back to life in something delicious. My mum used to put them in my lunch box for school near on 10 years ago.

Thank you for joining me on this journey! Hope to see you again soon ❤
