About Lou

I love cooking and the best ingredients are when they come straight from the garden so I will be updating you all on what I am cooking and what I am growing.

I am terrible at following recipe and will always add my own ideas to any recipes this does mean that sometimes not everything turns out how they are expected, but rest assured I will only share with you my successes.

I cook for one mainly and of course there are days when I don't fancy putting a meal together, but that's when I take a home made ready meal out of the freezer as ready meals from supermarkets are expensive and quite frankly don't taste that great. The meals in the freezer are usually made from the ingredients from garden like a vegetable lasagne.

As the weather warms up I will start sharing ideas on what to grow, I only have a small garden but I make the most of it and you would be surprised at how much I can fit in it. I usually keeps the veg growing from May to October and so of course that saves may shopping bills and as mention above a lot of the produce has been made in home made ready meals and this last me over the winter period.

I of course love eating out as well and will be pleased to update you all on where I've been and what I thought.

I love special offers and I do shop around for my groceries, trust me when I say I'm not interested in the 3rd of deal I like the ones where I'm saving loads and they are out there you just need to look, when I find the good offers I will post them so we can all share them. (remember it's only a good offer if you need it).

I Trust you will enjoy Lou's blog and feel free to share your thoughts with me.
