TGIF!
No rest for us over here, with 141 meals Wednesday, 120 cakes for a private function Thursday, two meetings today, cake decorating Saturday, and my regular work shift Sunday, it's been a busy one π½οΈ
Even busier for us next week as we prepare to cater for our first big outside private function, with staff! π©π»βπ³
My thoughts have turned to soup, should we be starting back up on soup again when the months get colder? π² π€
Let me know your thoughts! π

Happy Tuesday! π
Yesterday and today I tried out the Too Good To Go app in two different shops!
Here's what I got
Monday - Co-op. Ready meals that we put in the freezer, salad bags went to the tortoise, and the boys shared the sandwiches and fruit
Cost Β£3.50 - Retail value - Β£20.90
Tuesday - Starbucks.
Assortment of cakes and pastries, one had already entered my face, some have gone to volunteers today and some for volunteers tomorrow
Cost Β£4 - Retail Value - Β£16.75 (I believe I saw it come up on the till but I could be mistaken!)
What a fun way to fight food waste, and I love a good surprise! Is this something you have used before? If you have what goodies have you got? β»οΈ

From tubs to tables π½οΈ
After a long, lovely day at the zoo today with family and friends I decided it's too hot to cook, and luckily for me that's an option I can have with my Easy Tz Meals!
Shown is this week's beef and venison curried dish with cumin rice, a low carb version and half a standard version microwaved for a few minutes until hot and shared with my toddler β€οΈ
What's great as well is that my partner can enjoy his fresh when he is hungry, so no cold dinners are waiting on the side!
