I was perusing the internet for new burger recipes. After we had that one week of sun I started to get BBQ vibes and meat-free burgers were what I craving. So after a bit of searching a stumbled upon a Kidney Bean and Cumin burger recipe (blog to follow) and more to the point I stumbled across A Girl Called Jack.
A Girl Called Jack aka Jack Munroe is a blog writer. Jack began her blog back in 2012, originally "in response to a local Councillor who claimed that 'druggies, drunks and single mums are ruining the High Street."
Over time, this blog started to focus on a time where Jack found herself trying to feed herself and her young son on a budget of £10 a week due to delays in benefits after finding herself out of employment.
Jack has become the queen of thrifty cooking. Working through a difficult time in her life she became an inventive, creative cook who used supermarket own brand products to create tasty meals.
Jack has gone on to release a couple of cook books:
Jack's website is full of great recipes and it would be definitely checking it out! We will be working our way through some more and of course will let you know how we get on.
Another little think that is food for thought....... Jack talks about promoting this challenge........one day instead of buying your usual fancy coffee (approx £3) why not take that £3 into the nearest supermarket, see how many own brand tinned items you can buy and donate them to the nearest food bank! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!! We will definitely be doing this, always good to give back to the community and help out others who are going through a difficult time.
