any thoughts on doing low GI on a budget?
particularly for family households.
I've got a family of 5, the big kids mostly self-cater, but I do provide some healthy meals for them to offset the pasta and pizza.
We've had salmon one night and smoked haddock another. even on the Buy One get One 1/2 price offer that was £12 for 7 portions.
there's less fish fillets in the packets than I recall.
I've noticed food packages getting smaller, i.e. lower fill sizes so they can keep prices 'down' or rather appear to do so.
any thoughts on stretching protein sources without losing the GI effect?
also without being a big effort?
it's hard to eat to budget without becoming a kitchen slave.
I'm not adverse to preparing ahead, but I do avoid very labour-intensive recipes.
