Frugal Fare........Part 2

Many have shown an interest in a frugal food/recipes blog co-operative and I'm having a think about how to do this. If you're interested in participating please email me and let me know. Hopefully I'll have the basics sorted out by the weekend.

I'll be in touch and let you know when I have the basics in place and if you could try posting a test recipe for me I'd be grateful. This should help iron out some of the wrinkles.

Looking forward to 'hearing' from you

Frugal Fare........

Hi there folks!
The jet lag is finally gone and having come back to the UK to find autumn mists and cold, dark evenings my thoughts turn to good (cheap) warming foods to keep out the chill and make those pennies go a little further.




I read many blogs and while reading SFT's blog HERE (Hi SFT) it occurred to me how many great recipes I glance through only to not be able to find them again. I mentioned this in the comments and Angela got in touch with links for a couple of good blogs Here and Here (thanks Angela) and while they're great blogs I'd sort of got in mind a more of a 'co-operative' thing. 

What do you think? Shall we try it out? 

BTW - I found Fish Finger Pie somewhere, loved it but can't thank you personally as I can't remember where I saw it! If it was YOU please let me know

PS Don't forget to put your clocks back tonight :0)
