A week of two halves. I started the week without much enthusiasm for cooking or food, I ate because I had to and I was more concerned with sleep than eating. I made chilli and a good portion of that … Continue reading →

Posted on September 6, 2016 by nicdempsey

Last week did not start off well on the food front, the major lesson I learned this week is not to shop when I’m tired, hungry and I don’t have a list. I was £6.15 over the £15 limit and … Continue reading →
