Sizzling Beef with Spring Onions & Black Bean Sauce – Only 12sp!
This was a recipe made for me by my lovely best mate’s OH and it was so nice I bought the recipe book to make myself a smart point friendly version. It’s from Jaime’s Ministry of Food (original recipe here) and comes in at a …
Gorgeous Green Fusilli with Bacon
This delight of a dish involves hardly any cooking and the sauce is so quick and easy (it takes around the same length of time to prepare as the pasta takes to cook). This is one of my favourite recipes as usually when you are trying to find …
Sticky Five Spice Pork Stir Fry – Only 10sp!

We often buy beef for a change and I’m always stuck for something a bit different to do with it, so, as it was all defrosted and ready yesterday, we decided to try out one of my mam’s favourite recipes. She has made this as …
Thai Beef Massaman Curry – 10sp
I love a Thai curry and whenever we go out to a Thai restaurant, I always look at those having a Massaman curry with envy knowing how high in points they are. To quell my craving for this Thai delight, I decided that this week …
