Eating out theses days costs a lot and it’s an expense which most of us cannot afford to pay but its a big part of everyones social lives as it’s a chance to catch up with friends or family.

There are many good deals about if you look.  Many pubs do a 2 for £10 deal which is ideal for taking the family out.

Pizza Express have different deals each week.  Some are buy one pizza get one free.  Others £12 for 2 pizzas

All it takes is to subscribe to different websites and you’ll receive the deals along with vouchers codes to download direct to your inbox ready for you to print.

At a family BBq the other day my son complained that he was already fed up with them as they always have the same food, mainly burgers and sausages! So here are some ideas to make your BBQ stand out from the rest;

Chicken kebabs – chunks of chicken, with mushroom, peppers, corguettes alternated on a skewer and drizzled with honey and mustard.

Lamb kebabs – lamd mince mixed with fresh mint and onions and moulded again onto a skewer

Roasted rosemary potatoes - new potatoes coverd with olive oil and rosemary and baked in the oven until nice and crispy.

King prawns – dipped in a sweet chilli sauce only quickly cooked

YUm yum I can’t wait for the next BBQ I have now – where is that sunshine!

I go through allsorts of cravings, well not cravings but just different things that I fancy.

My first and utmost favourite is cheese, I love cheese particularly Brie.  Hot brie with warm crusty bread to dip into it and the best accompanyment for this is fig chutney.  I can eat a whole french stick and a packet of brie in one go I love it that much.

My next favourite is mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce, again with crusty bread to dip in the sauce with a nice glass of dry white wine to wash it down with.

We’re not quite as equipped for these as the Auzzies might be but we give it a damn good go.

On the first sunny day we had back in April, my boyfriend treated me to an all singing all dancing BBQ. He bought it after work took it home and progressed to put it together. 2 hours later when it was standing in all its glory, the sun had all but dissappeared and it was freezing.

However, being the typical british people we are, we were determined to still cook our tea on it. By 9pm we had starving children but we all enjoyed our burgers and sausages all the more.

I think we have just had our summer, although it was in April. BUt none the less hopefully over the next few months the rain will stop and the sun will shine.

So, it’s time to put the winter stodge meals away which make us want to saty in front of the fire most evenings and bring out the fresh healthy salads.

You can make a salad really tasty by adding all the usual ingredients, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, oinion, but then add some chicken marinated in honey and mustard – still good for you but it makes it a little more exciting to eat. Or you can add some salmon, panectta – the list goes on – go on be creative!

If you like your food and you like it free, you will absolutely love tasty bingo. The site currently has a competition running in which you can win a £30 pizza for just 1p!
