🍳💸 WHAT WE ATE/SPENT IN A WEEK! Organic on a Budget! #mealplan #budgetfriendly

Watch a down to earth tour through a week of family eating in our home! Join me, Kezia Neusch, from The Whole Home showing you exactly what we cook and eat each meal, every day! This is what it looks like to stay on budget while shopping organic and sustainable food - in the middle of busy life. It's a juggle but I want to show people how to make it more possible. I showed the grocery haul and the detailed cost breakdown in a previous video (thewholehome.co.uk/organic-food-budget/) and this is a follow up showing the actual meals all that food became, how they fit in every day life, and updating what we actually spent! Note: This is a week in Winter where our more local produce is more limited, and you'll see that reflected in the meals. Come summer there will be a lot more berries, fruit and greens everywhere. But in Winter we eat more squash, potatoes, carrots and things like that. A lot of our staple meals though are ones that can be adjusted for different seasons with different veggie sides, different veggie components, or toppings. That helps keep life simple for me! #OrganicOnABudget #FamilyMeals #sustainableliving 0:00 Intro to 'What we ate in a Week' 1:22 How our meals change seasonally and why 2:09 Day 1 meals 3:22 Day 2 meals 4:28 Day 3 meals 5:00 Day 4 meals 5:18 Day 5 meals (and a spend review!) 6:47 Day 6 meals 8:11 Day 7 meals and a celebration! 8:32 Our actual total spend + a final thoughts! ______________________________________________________ QUICHE RECIPE + ADJUSTMENTS I use the recipe linked below but with a few substitutions. It makes a great on-budget meal (when planned in and shopped for smartly) that's also a great way to use up leftover bits! Full recipe and directions is from BBC Good Food: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/c... NOTES: 🥦 Cream tends to be more expensive, so you can sub the cream for more milk or yogurt. (Whole milk will be best as it’s replacing cream!) 🥦The lard can be replaced with butter to save being left with lard you won’t use. 🥦Wholewheat flour can be used if that’s cheaper, but you’ll need more milk in the crust. (Usually double for me.) 🥦 You can halve the cheese and not feel lacking at all!
