Sharabelle bakes

Aldi Aldi is a great budget superstore, selling their own brands products for a very competitive price.  Unfortunately I can not use it for my main shop, since I have many food intolerance's.  They have on previous occasion celebrated gluten free month by stocking products, however in general they don't have much free from products in stock.  As a budget superstore, I can understand that these products are not their priority. So it was with pleasant surprise when I was browsing their aisles for my favourite hummus , I discovered they were now stocking Falafel. (Sorry but when your diets limited you do get excited by the smallest thing) Falafel are small balls which are made primarily from ground chickpeas, and flavoured with herbs and spices.  They are usually served in pitta bread or flat bread, with salad and various sauces.  You can also serve them as part of a mezze.   They have 2 kinds a Mediterranean and Moroccan style...

This week for What do you eat? I decided to share the foods I buy.   Porridge  - I start each day with a bowl of porridge, it's one of the cheapest super foods you can buy.   How you eat yours has sparked many an argument, I like to make my simply.    - 2/3 cups of Rolled porridge Oats - 2 Cups of Cold water - Pinch of salt   I put my saucepan on a low heat and cook for 10 min's, stirring occasionally.   Once it reaches the thickness I like, It comes straight of the heat and into my porridge bowl. I keep the porridge simple as I like to pimp it up with fruit and yogurt.        Amoy Gluten free Ribbon Rice Noodles Clearspring Miso - wheat free I used these to make my own pot noodles,  only a lot healthier and tastier.   Home made healthy pot noodle Stir fry some mushrooms, then add the noodles and miso paste.   Pour in boiling water as per the miso soup instruc...

        Milk about to  pass best before date   Waste Not Want not       Since my mum has moved back to Fife, Iv started to buy Semi skimmed milk to keep in the fridge for when she visits.  Only problem I have is I'm left with milk I can't drink because I am Lactose intolerant.   While I always have Dairy free milk in the fridge for myself, I find I only really use it too make hot chocolate or when baking.  Again I end up with the same looming expiration date problem.   I hate throwing anything out let alone food.  I usually pass it on to someone that can make use of it, or in the case of milk.....  I bake.   My mum has not had to buy Scones in a while, since she has a constant supply ready to defrost from my freezer.  Funny enough my bottom freezer drawer is now totally taken over with baked goods for my mum.  This weeks Waste not Want not post is ded...
