Morning emmaedes
It's so hard being broke when you have a food shop! I'm super skint since coming back off holiday so I'm of a mission to buy meat and veggies cheap. Hoping for about £30 tonight so I might actually put my list up once I'm home!
Hope your well xxx

So I think I've kinda scrambled an Atkins lunch together. The problem is I'm unsure of portions!
Here's a piccy to show my lunch. Bacon bits, egg mayo with real Hellmann and a 20g portion of cheese.
Wasn't hungry at breakfast so only had a 20g of cheese and 2 pints of water.

Sainsbury do packs of bratwurst for £1.89, there usually next to the Herta Frankfurters......
This was my lidl buy this week...
Smoked gammon ham £4.00 to boil then roast, this lasts around 4 days between two adults...lush with scrambled eggs for brekkie or thrown in salad with mayo...
Bratwursts, great for anything, love them with German mustard and a sliced MIM...
Streaky bacon, 99p for a 6 pack..
Fresh chops, belly slices, around £1.99 per pack
Large chicken, serves 5/6 £4.00
Salami, garlic sausage £1.49 per pack (around 10 slices)
Their own pepperamis, near the whole chorizo sausages, 10 for £1.99 and so much fresher than pepperamis and not as greasy...
Frozen marinated turkey fillets...£2.00
Packs of mackerel £1.20
I could go on and on..........

My favs at the moment are....
Cauli cheese made with just cream, cream cheese with grated nature cheddar, I throw in the green leaves surrounding the Cauli too..boil the whole lot for around ten mins, mix through the cream, cream cheese and half the cheese and put into a roasting dish....sprinkle on rest of cheese and bake for about 20 mins on 180-200
Spinach on the hob with garlic and herb cream cheese Tesco own 50p a tub! And very nice too...just wack in a huge dollop and mix until like a sauce with the spinach wilted...
Curly Kale fried in Kerry Garlic Butter...
Cauli mash done as per 'I breath, I eat blog' this is by far the closest you will get to mash.....you can also make fish cakes using the 'mash' too...
Celeriac chips, cut into chips, deep fry for 10 mins, stand for 10 whilst you turn up the heat on fryer then pop them back in until crispy! A great chip alternative to have with steak etc....
Creamy mushrooms, pan fry mushies with cream cheese and garlic butter...
Stuffed potabello/large mushrooms...I stuff with chorizo and goats cheese then bake!
Hope that help a little??

A great help thanks!
Didnt realise Kerry gold did a garlic butter. Yummy!
I'm a huge mushroom, spinich and cauli fan so may have a bash tonight. I'm thinking a stuffed mushroom to start, followed by a steak with spinich in garlic butter and maybe a mushroom or peppercorn sauce.

Nikki,
my fav dinner atm is Steak with creamy bacon cabbage. I use steak madalions (not much fat) and only about £4 for two in Tesco. I then cook the cabbage for a few mins. Cook the bacon until crispy in another pan and then add splash of cream then add in the cabbage and stir until cabbage wilts down a bit and hey presto yummy dinner!
