Category : Budget
At some stage everyone has had to struggle to buy food. It doesn’t matter where you come from but their are recipes that fill your tum and don’t empty your wallet/pulse. Eating on a budget does not mean that you have no flavour and aroma, quite the opposite. Recipes can contain simple ingredients like chopped tomatoes to make a sauce, a teaspoon of chili flakes for a little heat and so on. All it needs is a little thought and everything is tasty whether it be a snack or a main course.
