Really cheap, really easy, really delicious!

Heyyyya,

Got a candle in the background - am I fashion blogger yet?
No the title isn't referring to whatever you think it is...just wanted to write a super quick post about a lovely dinner I made myself the other day. I'm definitely no Delia but I am a student who lives in a very cold house so I like food to be easy and warm and most importantly CHEEEAP

So it doesn't look like much but this dinner was delicious!

Firstly I chopped up a big potato in little chunks. Then I chucked them into a pan of boiling water with some frozen sweetcorn and boiled them until they were cooked all the way through. Then when they were done I put them in a frying pan with olive oil, paprika, mild chilli powder, mixed herbs, piri piri oil and fried until the potatoes were a bit crunchier.

After that I tipped a tin of tuna in and fried that all up a bit more and there you go!

Might not look that pretty but tastes nom nom nom
This meal literally took me about 15 minutes to cook and it was lovely and filling! Basically like a big chopped up baked potato but even better! The photos aren't that flattering but trust me it was delicious!

Have fuuuun

Easy Peasy Cheesy Pasta | Recipe

Today, I had 5 pints of milk in my fridge which needed using up so I decided to make some pasta with a cheesy, tuna-y sauce.


Boil about 3 handfuls of pasta in seasoned water. Make sure to use enough water and stir so it doesn't stick to the pan. 

Heat about 1/2 pint of milk in a pan with a heaped teaspoon of plain flour. When that's heated add 2 handfuls of grated cheese (I used mature Cheddar but the flavour was a little overpowering so it might be better to use a Medium Cheddar instead). Heat until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick. 
Pile up the pasta and the sauce into an oven proof dish, stir in some tuna and then grate a load more cheese on top!
Pop in the oven for about 20 minutes to melt the cheese and get the top layer of pasta a bit crispy...


Enjooooooy!!!
