2 bag red onions
Cherry tomatoes (loving these roasted at the moment)
Pak Choi
Asparagus
Banana
Clementines
Frozen fruit (summer berries and strawberry and blueberries)- Giving this a go as I take fruit to work to have with my mullers so this may be a cheaper option!
Bag of spinach
2 500g lean mince (reduced to £2.15) does anyone else find Tesco never reduces by much!)
2 boxes youngs cod in parsley sauce (on offer £2 for 4, usually £4- only 1.5 syn each!)

Another £50 out of pocket lol! We did get some other bits, shampoo etc but have enough fruit and veg to feed a small army now!

Your food shopping looks lush hun

[Honeyoc]

Thanks! Vegetables are so beautiful, I love looking at veg displays at farmers markets!

 

[BritMumInCanada]

Looks yummy honey and very healthy. I am a big advocate of whole grains, especially since I was diagnosed with PCOS, so is great to see lots of whole grain stuff in your shopping .

What is the okra like? Does it taste similar to any other veg? I keep meaning to try it.

 

[Honeyoc]

Hi Britmum! Generally I love wholegrains, it's just wholemeal pasta I struggle with so I've decided to just stick to white which I love. Life's too short to eat wholemeal pasta lol!

Oh I love love LOOOOOVE okra! I can't really compare it to any other veg, maybe asparagus? It's hollow inside with lots of little white seeds and gets slimy when you overcook or boil it. I like to just top and tail and cut them in half and quickly sautee in some olive oil with Malaysian flavours like ginger, garlic, onions, dried prawns and LOTS of chillies. Then season with salt & pepper and a bit of stock cube powder, cover with a lid to steam for about 5 mins (sometimes I sprinkle a little water over it to get the steam going), stir and serve over steamed rice. You can have it just like that or with some extra protein like grilled fish or chicken or throw in some prawns, squid or other seafood with it. It's delicious, one of my faves! I think I'll make this for dinner tomorrow night!

Ooh sounds good, will get some. Next time I see some at my local fruit and veg place.

Have you heard of fiddleheads, very strNge looking veg, I haven't been daring enough to try them. Lol

 

[Honeyoc]

Aaaarrrgh fiddleheads scare me!! They look like something from another planet! I'm waiting for someone else to try it and let me know what it's like lol. *shivers*

Here's a pic of the stirfried okra with rice, I made it with prawns and squid

Ooh that does look yummy.

Fiddleheads scare me too haha, but I thought if anyone had tried them it would be you .

The description of what they taste like doesn't sound too appetizing either. Who knows though I might brave it and try them, not while pregnant though, I would prob heave lol
