Progress not Perfection

PennysIntoPounds

Sounds a good Saturday mix of gentle and productive pottering. Good to declutter old magazines, no need for transient things to find a permanent home!

Happy March, spring is on its way 🌼

Another busy Sunday although had a nice relaxing start to the day.

Took the dog on the park this morning and did a small litter pick.

Have been busy in the kitchen preparing for the week ahead. Made a vegan banana loaf then froze the remaining bananas from the Lid! veg box. Made a batch of spiced courgette soup for work lunches. Made chilli tuna slaw for today’s lunch and there’s plenty left for another day. Did a meal plan for the coming week using stuff that’s already in stock, a couple of new recipes to try planned in.

Cashed out survey and TCB money. Some of the PA earnings are in $ so can’t transfer them until they’ve cleared. Will tot up properly tomorrow.

It’s also been another NSD, the first NSD weekend in a long time!

Need to do finances properly tomorrow when I’m in work mode.

Tried a new YT yoga workout - Dance Yoga by Wellness Shraddha. Enjoyed it, lots of stretching.

Had a lovely soak in the bath with candles, although it’s starting to get too light for candles.

Tonight’s dinner is an old favourite harissa prawn orzo.

How do you freeze your bananas please. I land up making banana loaf when I would really rather not, rather than just wasting them. I am struggling to get walnuts to make it at the moment which does not help.

I don't eat nuts and have found a recipe that includes sultanas instead - sadly it's from an old recipe book, rather than on-line, but worth a search???

I sliced up the bananas and open froze them first before bagging up. I don’t use nuts usually, today I put sultanas and cranberries in plus a generous amount of cinnamon.

I will have to look into the sultanas as I know DS likes those too Thank you!

3 ripe bananas mashed up, 225g SR flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 75ml vegetable oil, 50g brown sugar, cinnamon or mixed spice and dried fruit. Makes enough for 8-10 decent portions.

Just checking - do you really use 2 tbsp of baking powder?

Thanks for checking - it’s 2 tsps sorry. I shouldn’t try and remember recipes off by heart 😆
