Autumn thoughts

… and a refresher course!

We've had a good summer by UK standards, but now we're into October and the mornings are darker until the clocks change at the end of the month and then, eek dark by 4pm!

It's time to re-group and get back into the swing of being organised.

Those who have been with me since the beginning will know that it all began talking about multi-tasking – making the best use of the time you spend in the kitchen. So, time for a refresher and, for those who are new to the concept :

Ask yourself :

“How do you shop and cook now?”

“How many times each week do you visit a supermarket?”

“How much food and consequently money, do you waste each week?”

“Are you constantly asked – what's for tea?”

If your answers are along the lines of, “badly”, “more than I should”, “too much” and “yes!” you might like to read on.

You'll save time, money and stress too, not to mention pick up tips and ideas to adapt to suit you and yours.

Coming up is a repeat of that same multi-tasking formula giving you recipes and suppers for an Autumnal week. As the new season begins so our needs and requirements change, the kids are back at school and although the weather isn't immediately horrible, it is certainly more changeable.

Ugh!
