Menu plan w/c 9/11/07
We have just finished tea, which was Tana Ramsey’s Butterbean chicken. I put it in the slow cook this morning at 8.30, before I left for work. On arriving back home his evening, I was greeted with the scummy smell of chicken and butterbeans wafting around the house….mmmmm. It was delicous and very country casseroley. I would definetly make it again, it was so easy to prepare, all I had to do when I got home was boil a couple of new potatoes with it and voila! We had a great meal that was very filling, good for you and cheap to make!

About me:
welcome to my penny pinching pantry :)
This is my favourite selection of frugal, old fashioned recipes. please feel free to comment and add to them. I am a huge Nigella Lawson fan and there are loads of her recipes featured here, mostly they are from her latest series, Nigella Express.
I live and work in North Yorkshire. I am married and have two boys, (11 & 23) and a fab black labrador, who is the total baby of the family!
