Frugal cooking !Mushroom soup recipe.

As we all know the cost of food is going up ,up and up!!!

I myself am very blessed with having found land after searching for it over 6 months here in Ireland .

until I found a place !

But every day I look back on times before I was able to grow food for the family

we have had a true harvest of ongoing courgettes

There for many meals of different ways of cooking courgettes have been done

However when you garden you have to eat seasonal and because we have all been spoiled with the different foods and availability in food stores .Then we can become feed up with 3 months of courgette meals .

So sometimes we have to give in and get something different

But with the food going up,up and up I am so thankful we do not have to buy so much .most days we can find something in the garden to make a simple meal with

Today when buying milk at the store

I saw 2 packages of mushrooms reduced by 75 percent

These cost me just 50 cent for both

I came home and made up my own !
