Hi lovely readers!
Do you remember last week I asked you to help me out with recipe ideas for my food shop?
Well, over 300 ideas were sent in here, on Facebook and on Twitter, and I spent the week making a few that had caught my eye.
To recap: here’s what I had to work with:

We snacked on apples, bananas, and pitta bread dunked in a mackerel and sardine pate. And I still have some bits left! But that’s a blog post for another day – if you’re all willing to help me out again!
Any recipes that haven’t been posted yet will be done over the next couple of days – bear with me as they’re all scribbled notes on pieces of paper in my kitchen.
Thanks again for all your amazing ideas and inspiration, I’m definitely going to do this again! Next weeks shop is definitely going to have bacon, lentils, liver and pears in, so get your thinking caps on!
