Welcome!

My first post. I have been thinking about this for a while and decided to finally put it into action.

A bit about me. I am married, we own a mortgage and have a little boy. I am a stay at home mother and we survive on one income. I handle pretty much all our finances and spend a lot of time trying to work out ways to save money, especially when it comes to groceries. I have come across some great recipes which are cheap, quick, easy and taste great not to mention the things I create for myself which accounts for maybe 90% of what I cook.

I am hoping that sharing my day to day cooking adventures along with other tips I may be able to help others.

My grocerie budget averages at approximately $100 per week excluding the cost of nappies. I hope to post several tips and cooking ideas per week where possible.

Remember though that the food I make as I go does not have measurements, just guides, ingredients and confidence in my ability to make it taste right. You can't be scared to throw things in, that's what makes cooking fun!
