If you can get flour at a good price that may be your best bet. Cheeses do freeze very well, that is a good tip, as some do spoil or begin to go mouldy. I freeze soft cheeses too that are left overs and they tend to end up on the pizzas!Annabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-68804185588794655982014-02-17T15:23:44.228-08:002014-02-17T15:23:44.228-08:00Must try the yoghurt pizza base.

So I pay the usual $5 at the supermarket and get a loaf that is useful for more than one day. I appreciate KayeB's tip to freeze left-over fetta. Food does not go on special at half price here in the NT.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-8197882612587240762014-02-17T03:20:37.885-08:002014-02-17T03:20:37.885-08:00Little Moo this is great news, the pizza and pasta...Little Moo this is great news, the pizza and pasta factor are real stretchers. Little mini pizzas are just wonderful for school lunch. As you say it doesn't take much seafood or meat to make a meal this way. These things are a big bonus. Another stretcher can be soup or desert... some sweets are actually pretty nutritious ie baked custard, baked apples... old fashioned stuff. I will tend to serve a desert when I have served soup. Sometimes these are a saving too.xxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-68186143162732512282014-02-17T03:15:36.933-08:002014-02-17T03:15:36.933-08:00Kaye would you believe... my total favourite food ...Kaye would you believe... my total favourite food is Greek. I could live on it. I try and cook and serve that kind of food and style. Possibly we were separated at birth or something as it is adding up that way! xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-36279926682909676302014-02-16T23:55:35.372-08:002014-02-16T23:55:35.372-08:00Hi Annabel,
Yet another great subject!
My meat-lov...Hi Annabel,<br />Yet another great subject!<br />My meat-loving husband loves pizza and pasta dishes (for an Englishman, he loves his Italian food!!), so I have been creative in the past with that. He loves seafood pizza (did I mention he has expensive habits??), so I get some prawns (about 200g does the three of us), some anchovies, mushrooms and sprinkled with cheese, and he thinks he's in heaven!!! I must bring these out again, I'm sure my son would love pizza for dinner, too!<br />Thanks for the reminder.<br />LisaLittle Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272712358735044383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-11216260157813217802014-02-16T23:21:47.254-08:002014-02-16T23:21:47.254-08:00Yum!

I just love haloumi (heavenly haloumi as our family call it here) with tomato and basil...mmm yummy. NQR here in Victoria have had Lemnos organic for $1.50 a block! Your herbs look fabulous Annabel, so lush and healthy. I love fresh basil and mediterranean flavours of any kind. I also like to buy fetta fresh from the deli when it is half price and freeze it wrapped in small finger like blocks. They defrost quickly to add to salads like pumpkin and couscous. A few nice extras like pine nuts (also get them sometimes half price) really lift a simple meal into gourmet.KayeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893434891123813140noreply@blogger.com
