Friday’s thought…What have you planned for the weekend? I’m doing a baking day on Saturday. I’ll be making Lasagne book 1, Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake Book 4, Beef Tortilla Stack Book 3, Ham and Corn Slice Book 7 and Chicken In a Hurry Book 1. It might seem like an effort at the time but it’s so great when you don’t have to cook and can just defrost a meal on those busy days. Cooking is love made visible. Annette :-)

Thursdays with Annette - Budget Busting
Thursday’s thought… If someone you care about has gone off track the best thing to do is not to get caught up in their ‘drama’. It's their story, their journey and letting them make mistakes is often the lesson they need to learn. It can be hard but sometimes you have to step back and send them love and kindness. Annette :-)
RECIPE TIME: Another great budget busting recipe is my Vegetable Fried Rice. Grab the recipe below :-)

Vegetable Fried Rice | Symply Too Good To Be True

This recipe was often on the menu when my kids were growing up as it was a great way to get them to eat their veggies. Serve with some lean protein.
Wednesday’s thought… Ask anyone and they’ll tell you that there’s always something they don’t like about themselves. Do you wish you were taller or shorter, had smaller hips or bigger eyes? We all live with insecurity, self doubt and, at times, lack confidence. We’re often the most critical of ourselves. Stop being so hard on yourself and learn to appreciate, accept and love all that you are just as you are. Annette :-)
With over 700 recipes to choose from in my seven cookbooks there are loads of budget busting recipes to choose from. Here’s four of my favourites.
Clockwise from top left: Curry in a Hurry – Book 5 (buy BBQ chickens when marked down, debone and freeze), Macaroni Beef – Book 2, Penne Pasta in Creamy Bacon Sauce – Book 4 and Zucchini Slice – Book 1. Which one is your favourite?

Tuesday’s thought… The best way to deal with a conflict is to look at what you want the outcome to be. I remember doing this with my daughters when they were teenagers. I may have wanted to yell and scream at them, but I would always go back to the question “what do I want the outcome to be”. It really helps you to separate your emotions and decide the best action to take. Try it😊 Annette
If your budget is always top of mind, I’ve got some tips this week to help out. Before I wrote my cookbooks, we lived from pay cheque to pay cheque and I remember what it was like to struggle to make ends meet. Here’s some tips for budget meals.

I think we can all relate to the rising cost of the weekly grocery shop. Here's my 7 tips for budget meals and avoiding food wastage.
Monday’s thought… A wise person once told me these words.
1. The past can’t be changed but you can change your future
2. What someone thinks of you is none of your business
3. We are all different so don’t try to be anyone but you
Annette :-)
