Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker to the cfr threads and as far back as Weezls 50p/day threads.
I am getting married in December and obviously am going to have to keep an eye on the pennies so will make good use of the recipes on Kitties and Shirleys plans (I am veggie but OH isn't). Already had the nut roast and the onion tart and we enjoyed them both.
I really just wanted to say well done to all of you, thanks for a really great resource and keep up the good work!:T

Welcome fuddle & katkins! We love hearing new opinions/ideas/questions.

Boodle, hope your LO gets better soon. Must be a bit scary for you and you are more than forgiven for missing out on the last part of the planner of course!

So I've finally found the time to tell you how to search the site easily even though it doesn't have a searchy box :cool:
All you do is take yourself to google or a google box if your browser has one,
type the thing you want to search for followed by a space and Site: cheap-family-recipes.org.uk
and hit Enter - et voila!

We had Salmon Pasta for tea again I made the boys with goats milk and it worked perfectly and wasn't goaty which was good because I made a bit too much of the goaty sauce so just mixed it in with OH and I's cows milk portions

Thank you cfr for encouraging me to make my own stuffing, goodness knows why I hadn't before when it's so easy. Did the fruit free version again and 4 out of 5 ate it . Also thank you for reminding me of the awesomeness of chicken in pie. Can you guess what we had for tea :-D!

CARROT cake? A CAKE made of CARROTS! Are you having a laugh!

(only joking, off to find recipe now- never had carrot cake before and me a vegetarian!)
Does it taste very carroty, I think 'carrotyness' might be what scares me off?

I don't think carrot cake ever tastes of carrot so would say give it a try and see what you think. Please come back and let us know how you get on.

Right, wellies and waterproofs on! I'm off to pull some carrots!

qos, we had chicken pie last night, too!

katkin - carrot cake is my very favorite cake on the planet. You are seriously missing out. If you want to try and indulgent non-CFR style one first, go to any local bakery. THe cream cheese frosting is THE BEST. *nomnomnom* but the CFR one is very good for everyday eating.
