Forward Planning

There is certainly a bit of a nip in the air today and the weather forecast is looking a lot colder these next coming days. Which is good as I love the meals that you cook in the colder months especially the ones that you can all throw into a slow cooker or casserole dish and slow cook for hours in the oven so all you have to do is plate it up when you some in. 

I love cook books and I'm always telling Mr M that I can never have enough cookbooks I use them for inspiration and mainly so we don't always eat the same thing day in day out. The latest book I have found useful is Save With Jamie. It certainly has helped in making sure our roast dinner goes further. At first Mr M was a bit sceptical especially when buying a bigger bit of meat than I would normally but being one for numbers Mr M actually worked out it was cheaper to do it this way the book does tell you this. 

I never really one to plan a meals in advance but having read some really good blogs lately I thought I would give it a try especially as I spend the majority of time taking Little miss and little M to various after school activities I'm hoping it will make me more organised so armed with a small selection of my favourite books. I'm planning right up till next Monday.
