We make our pizza from scratch (although, last Friday I got lazy and took the boys to Pizza Hut!!!), and we have even made our own pasta! But that's not every time we eat pasta. No way. I was thinking about this just yesterday, because whenever we go to one friends' house for dinner, they always make something pre-packaged. We had hamburgers there last time, and I thought at least they might be patties from the butcher. Nope. They were those horrible frozen hamburgers from the supermarket. Ugh. They are so quick and easy to make with some mince, herbs and the like. <br /><br />But sometimes Hubby travels so maybe I'll give this a go next time he does. No point cooking just for moi if I don't have to, huh? xoxJodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-76648100084925502152012-03-27T09:39:44.305+11:002012-03-27T09:39:44.305+11:00Marion's satay mix is FABULOUS!!

I hate buying processed stuff for the kids but it has ALL normal ingredients - no preservatives, fillers, etc etc. I was shocked.

I did like her an awful lot of Masterchef.<br /><br />Supermarket finds - I have come recently to Basa fish. It is wonderful and low fat and white and clean tasting and no bones and the fillets are just the right size. So not a convenience food, as such, but so simple it might as well be, if you like a little bit of fishy in your dishy for tea...<br /><br />xxDiminishing Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072304081006798910noreply@blogger.com
