Well - we have fallen off the ration wagon for a couple of weeks - sick kids and lots of household stress.
The children are starting to snack more so it is definitely time to restart the whole process again !
Interestingly - none of the children can cope with eating baked beans anymore - my 11 year old hates them now as she thinks they taste of sugar.
The kids are on whole grain cereal all of the time -porridge and wheetabix - with hot whole milk. My son is now drinking more milk this way than before.
Yesterday i made a massive vegetable and lentil soup from all of the left over vegetables in the fridge drawer. It went down very well and fed 5 last night, 2 today for lunch, 2 portions frozen for the week and at least 2 portions left. Not bad from things that would normally have been thrown away.
Another new recipe - dried apples. This is mentioned a lot in the book/recipes of the period but the instructions are a little vague ( e.g. dry in an airing cupboard - which we dont have !!). I found a recipe on the "love food, hate waste" site which was for apples crisps:
apples sliced with a potato peeler ( peeled and cored first) spread onto a baking rack ( i used my grill one) and dried in a low oven for about 2 hours. Really really good.
So the aim is now to stick to the ration again - with perhaps a little more fruit variety.
Will let you know how we go on !!!
