Big Food Shop Week one...let the fun begin

                                                              
                                    

As you can see, i'm 4p over!!! But, it is the first week, so i'm still learning. I'll quickly skim through the items because the receipt is rather hard to read.

Chopped Tomatoes x3. Midget Jems (sneaky treat). Pizza Base mix. 6 Eggs. Broccoli. beansprouts. tomatoes. Iceberg Lettice. Aubergines. Haddock fillets x2 (reduced price!). Smoked Salmon. Mozzarella Balls x2. Soft Cheese. Lemon. 12 Rashes Smoked Bacon.  

Some of these ingredients are for the store-cupboard, so may show up again in a few weeks. But on the whole, very pleased with this shop. 

Just a quick note, I make salads every day for lunch adding leftovers to iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and usually a nice chunk of cucumber and home-made dressing mmmm...

So, before I bumble on about food, let me apologise for how stingy this shop appears. It may however please you to know that I did not buy THE WHOLE of the Sainsbury's basics range (eeek i promise not every week will be full of basics stuff) and hopefully i'll be able to show you how delicious food can be made with it. 

Alas, here's what I made for the week.

Sunday - Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Egg on Cream Cheese Bagels (not forgetting a squeeze o' lemon)

Monday - Valentines eve...no cooking for me, I had the pleasure of being taken to The Duke Of Cambridge, an outstanding gastropub in Angel, serving up some of the most delicious organic food i've ever tasted. What a treat - definitely one of my favourite eateries in London. I would highly recommend a date night here. http://www.dukeorganic.co.uk/ 

Tuesday - Classic Spag Bol. Using frozen leftovers from the week before. (You will notice bits and bobs will get frozen for subsequent weeks to come). One with spaghetti, one with veggies...

Wednesday - Baked Aubergines with Tomatoes Mozzarella and Bacon 

Thursday - Oh no...a little 'worse for wear' tonight - so unfortunately the cooking went out the window and Bacon Butties magically flew in...


(Only remembered to take a picture of the glorious meal half way through )

Friday - Haddock Stir Fry with Lemon 

Saturday - Round 2, ding ding.  Baked Aubergines with Carrot Mash

That's all for now - tuck back in for next week folks. Sneak Preview...Homemade Burgers mmm.
