So today I took a stroll into town and bought a food processor, why? I no longer want to spend £1:25 on a packet of cauliflower rice or £1:15 on a rather small broccoli rice packet either; I purchased a whole cauliflower and a whole Broccoli instead and smiled my way to the store where I flicked thru pages before choosing a reasonably priced processor.
Got home and excitedly assembled the contraption ready for tonights meal of broccoli and cauliflower rice with salmon. Would it taste the same? Have I wasted my bucks on this processor? Will I go back to buying the packet ready prepared stuff?
Nope - OMG No more packet stuff for me, it took minutes to prepare and was yummy. I’ve also saved money as I only used a few florets of each vegetable and have more for another day.
Best purchase and idea this month so far - No biggie for some but for me who lived on takeout and ready meals I’m over the moon.
I’m actually beginning to enjoy this home cooking from scratch milarky - who would have thought?

I hit that link up immediately and began salivating at the pic of the finished item. I’ve added this meal to my recipe book and will be having that for breakfast tomorrow. I’ve never been one for sweet potatoes but that’s cos I really never knew what to do with them but now?????? Watch out Sweet Potato Apple Breakfast Bake for here I come.
There's so much you can do with sweet potato! I really don't like baked sweet potato or mash, but I still get through a kilo a week, just using it as an ingredient in other things
It’s the little changes that I’m making that are keeping me going. That plus this forum, it’s really nice having the supportive and listening ear of others. Who else could I have excitedly told about buying a food processor? Friends and family would think I’m nuts or say “get a life” lol.
Lol they would 😂 no one shared my excitement either until I posted a comment about in on Vegan food for life and how I can now make nut milk at home. Funny what floats our boats ay! 😁🌱
The one I bought was the Cookswork Food Processor and it was £24:99. It’s nothing fancy and does NOT go with my kitchen but It does what it says on the tin which is grates and shreads my cauliflower and broccoli lol. In time I’ll no doubt upgrade but as this is a new way of eating for me I thought it best I start off slow and steady.
