thanks ever so much Ali007, what a lovely thing to say!!

Somehow in my budget this month, I have to sort out oure anniversary surprise ( this will involve spending money, not a lot, but some) and to put away for OHs birthday in August.... hmmmm I might be great at the debt stuff, but I havent got a budget for pressies yet, as really IM just too tight to buy them LOL

'Refried Beans' - the name is a little misleading to be honest as the traditional recipe required mashing the beans with lard! Ick! lol! Anyway I just boil them up and mash them - you can fry them with onion and peppers as well. YUM YUM!

MMmmmmm well our dinner 2nite is roasted veg pasta - the left overs will be my lunch 2moro (with creme fraiche and wholegrain mustard mmmmm)

hahaa

I quite like beanfeast though havent had that for a while, I f I get desperate at the end of the month, I can see me buying a few bags of that out of the change in the budget..

the pasta sounds good though. I tend not to eat that very often as it makes me into the michelin woman - so bloated.

I have already made up 2 spare enchiladas in lunch boxes cooling, one for OHs lunch tomorrow, and one for the freezer so he doesnt have to have it 3 meals on the run lol :A

I can see me getting quite into this again this month.

Annie, might pretend I never heard that they have lard in. Maybe thats why they have such a rich flavour. Might give them a miss tonight and try and work out a similar but more cholestrol freindly version for OH

beanielou

Have to say dont like the sound of those refried beans:eek:
Good luck wth the challange girls

Ooh a challenge! I think I'll watch from the sidelines and see how it goes on. In a DFW style I made pie last night - one for now one for freezer. Therefore lunch today = pie, dinner today = pie & chips, lunch tomorrow = pie... (the joys of cooking for one!) Good luck with the challenge girlies.

lynzpower

thank you very much

I expect loopylou to put up a good fight on this one.

I love a challenge...!
