I'm quite a decent cook, I can cook on a tight budget. Thinks like shepherds pie, braised meat with potatoes and veg. None of the things that you actually want to eat when it's 30 degrees outside.
So far this week I've cooked a roast chicken (£5 ish) with salad (£3ish) and homemade bread (60p ish)
Then we had chicken fajitas. Chicken (leftovers) peppers (1.60) onions (30p) spice mix (£1) salsa, guacamole and sour cream (£4ish- didn't use it all)
That's at least £15 for 2 meals, although I did have leftover fajita chicken last night there was only enough for me, the DC's had fish cakes and chopped veg with the leftover dips. I'm going to be bankrupt at this rate!
What are you cooking cheaply in the heat at the moment?
