This week I am really poorly with a heavy cold and chest infection which means I shall be at home all week. Whenever I am poorly I crave loads of vegetables and comforting flavours so that is the theme this week.
My daughters are having school dinners to give me a rest and my husband and I will have dinner leftovers for our lunches. I will also make a large batch of vegetable soup which I will freeze in single serving portions for my lunch should I need comfort food and an extra vegetable boost.
Weekend lunches will be Mini Frittatas and Vegetable Fritters. Breakfasts throughout the week will be cereal and milk with a piece of fruit for afters.
Our Meal Plan groceries this week came to £55.09 from Asda on 23/06/2013. As usual I compared the cost of my shopping using My Supermarket and had I shopped at Sainsbury's my groceries would've cost £62.00 and from Tesco £62.52.
Vegetable Fritters
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups grated courgette, or 1 tin of whole kernel corn,
drained
1 Tblsp fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
125ml cup milk
125g grated cheddar cheese
1 Tblsp vegetable oil
Beat the eggs with about half of the milk. Stir in the flour and grated courgette (or
corn) and mint. Add more milk, if necessary.
If the mixture is too runny, add a little more flour.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Put spoonfuls of the mixture into pan to form
fritters. I usually cook about 3 in the
pan at once. Once the mixture bubbles,
turn the fritter over and cook the other side until golden.
Put the cooked fritters on a kitchen towel and keep warm in
the oven until the whole batch has been made.
