Quick n' easy affordable meals
Food is the way to most people's hearts - but sometimes we do not have the time to get creative in the kitchen or have the budget to do so.
This page is all about offering inspiration for under a fiver.
What recipe works well for your family? What is simple to prepare and cook that you and, or, your children love?
We and fellow Freebridge neighbours would love to know. Take a moment to try out the latest recipe and if you can add a twist let everyone know in the forum - or if you have another delicious recipe, whether it be sweet or savoury, add it too.
Let's see if we can inspire people this winter!
