Feeding your family

Feeding a family 

Not easy these days

What led me to start a FB group and write this blog the ever spiralling food prices. Seriously I feel we are being rorted by the food chains however there is little we can do about that as we all need to eat and to feed our children.
We can however learn to be thrifty, try to become self sufficient after all our ancestors before us were, they survived the Depression and Wars, under far more difficult circumstances than we have now, but back in those good old days they grew their own produce, vegetables and fruit trees and of course then they would have a cow for milk, make butter and cheese, chooks my daughter would love to add chooks to her agenda of Veg growing but my garden is really too small but for any who have the space I would encourage it.
Wisely many used a barter system swapping something you have with a friend or relative with something they have so you may swap some peaches for some tomatoes good way to go.

"Welcome to all who venture in here. A group for family and friends to share recipes, tips and hints. As our grocery prices are forever on the increase weekly, for many it will be back to basics a much more economical way of cooking and I think with the advent of all the latest cooking shows many are already on the way. There are lots of recipes out there that are cost saving for families, particularly those with children. Invite your family and friends to join us, post their ideas,any hints and recipes. If you see any really good weekly supermarket specials post them here tooI first started this as a Facebook Group and as I was already saving my work in documents I thought I would go ahead and write a blog as well.
This way anyone around the world can have access to these recipes as far as I am aware all recipes here have been tried and tested. If copied I would encourage to quote and give reference to the writer or source of that recipe.
