Chorizo & potato gratin.

Chorizo & potato gratin.
Suitable for diabetics.
Total sugars 5.2g (that's overall per serving, not per 100g).
Cost: £2-3 overall (so 43p per serving for us) with full price goods.

Slice and par boil 2 x medium potatoes per person (I did 14). Drain and layer half on a tray, spoon over some onion fried with some chorizo and a little garlic, add another layer of potatoes. Pour over 300ml double cream. Season and sprinkle with a little cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.

It might appear to be a lot of potato but it isnt. Sliced potato looks loads Serve with a generous serving of steamed broccoli.

Maccy D Breakfast

Maccy D breakfast for my lot is £15.92 for single Sausage and egg muffins or a whopping £26.32 for the 'meal' but I made 8 muffins for £3.08 - that's 38p each. For another quid I could have done coffee and hash browns but my lot don't need a huge breakfast. It's even cheaper if you pick up SC muffins which freeze nicely and defrost in the toaster when you need them.
Sausage: weigh 8 value sausages and strip from skins. Mine were about 400g. Add a small cup of onions, 1.5% sage (6g) and 1% yeast extract (4g) - yes, that's marmite. Blitz it together and form into 8 patties.
Egg: fry in an egg ring, add some water to the outside of the rings and put a lid on the pan. This poaches the top quickly.
Muffins: split, toast, add a cheese slice.
Assemble and enjoy.
