I was talking with a friend of
mine about the cost of life and she was talking how much she is spending on
eating, well honestly we weren’t agree about the fact that is possible eat
healty and delicious food if you are on a budget… Which is your opinion? In my
personal opinion and experience is possible have a good healty meals also if
you are on a budget.
For example today I went into discount-groery store near home and I've bought : a big bag of salad, 2 big pack of rice, 6 yogurths, a mini cheese, a jam jar and a peanut butter jar...with ingredients I already have in my cabinets and this I can prepare delicious food and stay on a budget...infact total of my shopping is been €11.16 not bad:D
I have several books that show
it (Jack Monroe wrote a blog turned book about eat with few money…A girl called
Jack, with delicious recipes that don’t broke your finances) , plus since I
have a budget to respect (welcome adulthood), I am been more interested about
what there is inside “already ready meals” and I discovered that buying fresh,
seasonal and local helps to stay on budget and your fantasy helps you to create
new interesting dishes :P
I’m not saying that you cannot
buy already meals, but for your healt (and your wallet) is better buy single
ingredients and make by yourself, but use “ready meals” for special occasion or
for that time you came back at home late and you don’t want to spend a lot of
time cooking.
However we talked a lot and in
the end we were talking in front of a cup of coffee in a café (treat that worth
every single cent I’ve spent) reading cookbooks and recipes magazines…
Well believe or not, a Saturday
she was nanny of her nephews she decided to went with them into grocery store saying them “to
buy items only in the list” and then “you will help me to prepare meal”, for
first time after months they had great time together, they cooked and kids that
are involved into food process, eat more veggies…cooking is always a good
activity to do with your kids-nephews. More they are involved in every single
activities, more they would like to learn about it!!!
