Creating a Champagne Life on a Beer Budget

September 13, 2015

Week 3 – Day 1


I am doing 2 menus this week.  The Week 3 $25 menu plan and also the 1st week of the $50 fortnight.   All meals that are photographed, I did actually cook.  Sometimes there will be repeat photos of dishes that repeat (Beans on toast, Poached eggs  leftovers for lunch etc)


$25 per week Stand Alone Menu 3 – Day 1

Breakfast
Porridge  (disclaimer I did NOT cook this.. Honestly porridge is just something I just cannot eat, but I know a lot of people do and it is a very budget friendly product.)

Lunch
Soup and Toast



Dinner 
Bacon Carbonara
In a pan saute some bacon and onion in some butter. mix up a heaped dessertspoon of cheese sauce mix in 1/4 cup of milk.  Ad to the pan and stir until thickened.  Add in a cup of boiled pasta and mix until the sauce coats the pasta well.  Serve.



And now for something COMPLETELY different.  Cupcakes make with packet cake mix and lemonade. I came across this idea on Pinterest.   Just 2 ingredients… Cake Mix and soft drink.  (I used Vanilla Cake Mix and Lemonade)

Well I just had to try it.  Homebrand Cake Mix is 80c and soft drink just 75c.   
In mixer, mix the cake mix and 350ml of softdrink.   
Mix for 3-5 minutes and bake in cupcake liners for 15-18 minutes at 180 degrees.

I didn’t think it was going to work as it made a very wet batter. It did rise, but I think next time I will turn the fan off in my oven as they got blown around a bit as they rose.

They taste like a normal cupcake.  I am pleasantly surprised with the result of these.

As we wrap up 2020, I have seen much discussion given to the idea of “Thank goodness this year is OVER- bring on 2021” However, I prefer to ponder on the 2020 I have had and acknowledge the things I have been most grateful for. Firstly, is the tremendous relief that my immediate friends and…
