Eating healthier

So, at the moment we are trying to eat a little more healthily - It is a bit of a challenge - on two accounts really...

Firstly, it is more expensive - it is annoying and WRONG I think that it costs more to buy fresh stuff! It does taste better tho'

Secondly, it is time consuming - it takes longer to prepare dishes when I have NO idea what I am doing...

So this week I made chilli chicken and chickpea mash!

It tasted good in the end - but was all a bit of a laugh as the chickpeas are supposed to be 'mushed' in a food processor (we don't have one of those) so I tried various methods - hitting them a lot, (just humerous and bore no results) a potato masher (didn't really work) and finally a whisk (which just sent chick peas flying around the kitchen!) Eventually I called upon Phil to use sheer strength to mush them. It all tasted good in the end tho'!

so not sure what I will try this week...

Wow Aims that is a challenge then cooking in your house? What do you eat together?
