Hello everyone
Hope you’re all well and warm. After all this week’s celebrations and the lekker long weekend, this week I want to focus on quick, easy and convenient foods.
When it comes to convenience, I always find that tinned food is one of the handiest items you can have on hand.
It takes away the hassle of deciding what to have for supper, it’s perfect to grab a tin when you are looking for a quick fix, great if you’re not able to get to the shops for fresh meat, or saves you from worrying about taking meat out the freezer or defrosting it and waiting until its thawed to start cooking.
This week we are sharing recipes courtesy of Bull Brand. We all know their trusted tinned corned beef, but they now extended their range launching their new selection of tinned mince.
Tinned meats are perfect for the grocery cupboard, keeping it on hand and saving you time, and it’s as easy as heating your eating this delicious filling and just adding your favourite starch to create a lekker lunch or dinner.
Make your meals tasty, nutritious and as a bonus, it’s affordable, so it’s super easy on your budget!
I especially love tinned goodies when it comes to going on holiday or even camping. These products can be stored in a cool dry place, so it does not need to be refrigerated and there is no worry about these products going off.
It is also perfect if you’re by the camp fire and you’re lussing for something lekker. When camping, I love heating my tin goods on a low and slow fire, then opening it and serving it straight out the tin.
It adds to the rustic charm of camping, and you can add your own starches and sides and make huiskos away from home.
