Slowly getting back into the frugal swing of things

Got to spend some quality time one on one with my little man so decided to make a cake

The newest member of our family Little Miss Bella, had nothing organised for her so used one of the kids old rugs and a cot pillow and made her a bed and a chew toy

Attempted some fruit filled cereal bars, they are yummy but went a bit soft after a day so think I need to modify the recipe a little or even try a new one.

Found an awesome recipe for honey biscuits that tastes very much like tiny teddies and have been busy making them for the kids, they love them and I get a chance to use all my awesome cookies cutters.

Homemade tomato sauce you just cant beat it, yum!

More bread

While apples were cheap I grabbed a few kilos and dried most of them not that they last long around the ferals, they love them.

Tried making cheese and bacon crackers but the kids weren't very keen on them so I think I'll just stick to the cheese crackers from now on

Making Bread

Thought I'd get the kids involved more in their lunches so we decided to make bread rolls, they had a ball and ate all their lunch without any complains. The rolls were lovely and soft I even made myself a small one for lunch.

 

After wasting all the left over mashed potato that noone would eat I decided to make some amish potato rolls, they were nice and soft, hubby wasnt a fan though as they were sweet but they went well with dinner and the rest are in the freezer for school lunches, while I was making these I decided to make a loaf of bread as we were out and I try to use what I have instead of going to the shop. Sadly I think I over did the rolls a little but they were still nice. I have since been saving the mashed potato and might dig out my mothers recipe book as I'm pretty sure she has a yummy recipe for a cake using mashed potato with a crumble topping, cant really go wrong with a crumble. :)
