Let's do this..... budget but delicious!

[MissReginaPhilange]

Right I've seen so many threads about feeding a family for "x amount " weekly and they are cropping up all over the spot. I propose to start a thread with recipe ideas for meals along with rough costs. Share the knowledge and the savings. I am not on a particularly tight budget but personally hate spending loads on food, especially when I know I can cook a decent meal from scratch. So let's have some ideas!
Also side note, a lot of my cooking does include recipes for gluten/nut/dairy/soya/egg allergies as these are the known allergies so far of my youngest. Some recipes are what I cook dp and the other kids.
Off to find some good ones.....ill be back!!

Quit do you cook the meat first?

[QuitMoaning]

@LuvMyBubbles No, I actually don’t but you can use cooked meat as well. I do chop my sausages up quite small so they cook through easily.

I am actually doing it tonight, when I get myself in gear to start peeling the potatoes.

Hi, forgotten the name of the blog that's often mentioned on Mumsnet for good cheap recipes, can anyone help? Had a look a while ago, looked great. Thanks

Veggie scramble

Saute whatever veg you've got lurking in the fridge - courgettes/peppers/tomatoes/mushrooms/spinach/broccoli all work well. Beat 2 eggs per person with a splash of milk, add to the pan, stir gently until the eggs are set. Serve on toast with ketchup/chili sauce.

Optional extras: cooked ham/other meat, grated cheese. Frozen veg works instead of fresh.
