The festive season is officially over and it’s back to reality (read low budgets) and potkos.
Nou as die kinders net terug skool toe kan gaan sodat die brood langer kan hou.
After weeks of eating blinkbek, it’s back to huiskos in the form of smoortjies, bredies, blikkieskos and leftovers.
OK, so maybe it’s not all that bad, but January is a long month and we need to make everything stretch, from our money to our food.
It’s been weeks since I had decent potkos myself and this weekend I bought my last takeout meal and thought I’d try KFC’s new masala crunch chicken.
That was a terrible mistake, but you can read more on that next week.
The festive season might be over but with a little bit of planning and a touch of creativity, you can still create tasty meals.
Since “normal cooking” has now resumed, I paged through some of my recipe books and searched for old budget-buster meals which I haven’t had in a long time.
I love chicken livers, I can have it for breakfast, lunch and supper.
Warme worsies is another craving I’ve had for the longest time.
The only problem is I don’t know where to go to get lekker warme worsies, so if you know of a great place then please holla at your girl.
What’s better than a warme worsie smoortjie on toast and a koppie tea?
And don’t discount all the “ blikkiesgoed” you have left from your Christmas hamper, for they will carry you through this long month of Januworry.
