I love reading blogs with great cheap great recipe's. Was wondering if anyone can recommend any specifically. I prefer ones that are mainly food based, don't mind if there's gardening/ eco stuff but I find a lot of them are very children orientated and I don't have children.

Thanks in advance

Jack Monroe's Cooking on a bootstrap if you don't already know about it.

If you want a simple living blog I can recommend Rhonda's Down to Earth

http://down---to---earth.blogspot.co.uk/

It has everything from cooking and gardening to making your own soap and laundry powder.

Not really about frugal living now. She's all about her holiday home in France and suggesting people think about renting it!

It's changed from its original incarnation

i love iona mean queen not so much recipes but frugal life very honest and upbeat...very inspirational woman imo

take care with frugal queen unless holier than thou and boasting are your thing

cant think of the name but that one of the woman who thinks she is living the good life by the horrible looking busy road in wales...boasting galore and more shopping and spending that you can shake a stick at

frugal homemade home is lovely but child centred so might not be your thing...i like it

vintage vixen love her really great read

megan in new zealand very honest and inspiring imo


if you find any good ones please post as i have had a cull recently as the boasting and bragging was getting too much

I agree about Frugal Queen too

Is it Our new life in the country?, the one in Wales.

Don't forget our own Elaine ( memory girl ) She hasn't been writing for the last few months due to a new high pressure job and an eye injury however last time I looked all her posts are still online . True old styler and very motivating .
If you read this Elaine I was discussing your blog a while ago with Mooloo and we miss the daily kick up the backside very much :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Best wishes to you and the boys .

Still haven't worked out posting links , last time I looked it was still available at mortgage free in three ( via google )

Thank you for mentioning mine. I do post about food, but don't do recipes as such. My meals are made up of whatever I have in, more experimental cookery, chuck it in and see what happens. Most of it is one pan, vegetarian, or salads, the less cooking the better as far as I am concerned. Lots of other stuff on my blog as well. A bit off topic but did you see my shed win the Budget category on Shed of the Year on ch 4 on Friday?
