Corn fritters. Try this no meat meal.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Make them in advance, and freeze your left overs for another day.

This recipe is from the heart foundation 'Cheap Eats' recipe book.

Flavour up another meal using your homemade chicken or vegetable stock.

Here's a recipe from the 'Cheap Eats' book put out by the Heart Foundation.

Use chicken bones to make chicken stock, or add 1 cup of extra vegetables to make vegetable stock.

Cooked chicken bones create the most flavour. Use leftover bones from a roast chicken or cooked chicken drumsticks.

Use up those left over vegetable leaves and stalks to make stock.

Please share our page with your friends.

It is pumpkin season again.
My Mum used to make pumpkin pie for dessert. It was sweet and yummy.
We used to fight over the biggest piece.

If you have a great pumpkin recipe you would like to share, please message the foodbank and we will post it on our page.
Thanks

Fig Chutney is a winner with me.
I love it with crackers and cheese or a cold meat sandwich.
It is so easy to make.

Try this recipe.

Goats meat.
Try it in a curry.
Slow-cooked goat becomes tender and flavorful with Jamaican curry and allspice.
Coconut milk and thyme create rich, aromatic Caribbean depth.
This stew is ideal for making ahead, as the flavors deepen over several days.

This recipe for slow-cooked, falling-off-the-bone tender goat meat stew in a Jamaican curry with allspice is a great first foray into cooking with goat.

Goats meat.
Goat meat is tough, so to get maximum results (succulent goat meat) using a pressure cooker, slow cooker or cooking it on low heat will help.

Goat meat is excellent for a diabetes-friendly diet as it is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, which helps in managing blood sugar levels. You can include goat meat regularly in your diet as part of a balanced approach to eating, focusing on variety and nutrient density.

There are some good recipes on 'Google'. Here is a site that I found for a stew or casserole made in a slow cooker that looked good and easy to make.
Cheers
Karen
