I am interested to know if you use cash or if you have a few different bank accounts. This year ive been withdrawing $300 per month to use on groceries and paying with the cash. Not sure if it is working though as sometimes if i duck into the store to grab some things i forget the cash and end up using my card. How do you manage all your bills/ food accounts?<br />Have a lovely weekend.

Dice some corn beef very small, add with diced well drained cabbage and carrot. Mix into the mash. Cool in fridge then roll in breadcrumbs and fry. Serve with sweet chile sauce and salad.<br /><br />When i cook rice i like to make a large batch and make sweet and sour chicken using a bottled sauce i buy on special at $!.69 one chicken breast and extra steamed vegies to make the dish go further served with rice. Then i make fried rice usual toppings and i add a slice of diced chinese roast pork which you can buy at Woolworths deli. Then curried sausages with plenty of sliced carrots makes it a bit sweeter, onion and a few peas added in late. dice the sausages to help them go further. Then i make a rice pudding and freeze in portion serves. My mums ninety has no teeth so we tend to eat softer meals. Hope everyone is surviving this cold weather Leanne...<br />Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439350139742652550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-44173327216547115752019-07-11T16:54:56.573+10:002019-07-11T16:54:56.573+10:00Thanks for posting this, Wendy.

I made a lasagne today too; I used leftover bolognese sauce and added chopped spinach from the garden so there was enough to put in between the pasta sheets. Most of it is now in the freezer.

Now I’m good to go for a while again. One thing I’ve been making to stretch things is lentil taco filling. I’ve been very surprised at how much people around here like it even though it’s vegetarian.
