Hubby has been asking for home baked scones recently - but I think he deserves something 'special' (hee hee!)

Always interested in old recipes. Although our bookshelves are groaning with the weight of too many cookbooks I still rely very heavily on my mother's old reliables, so tasty, and they always work!! Would like to see more frugal recipes and food 'stretchers' please. Food is food, and I always say you don't need fancy ingredients. I was in the supermarket today and they had kumquats and limequats, from Israel, and I just knew (instinctively) I could live without them!! :)

Every bit of waste food is used or recycled in our house, best tip try not to make it in first place, dont make so much you can't use, if there are left overs dont go to the bin first, if more people used their wisdom and imagination our waste would be reduced overnight. Make, breadcrumbs, bread and butter pudding, french toast, crutons for soup & salads, wet bread for birds or crumb and mix with old cooking fat for bird fat balls.

ALL veg peelings,potatoes,carrots parsnips etc etc can be made into
fab soup,why bin them???most of the vitamins are in the skin so once well
washed no reason not to use them.
