This month it is my turn to host Credit Crunch Munch which is a joint challenge being run myself and the lovely Helen at Fuss Free Flavours.
As usual you have free reign over what types of dishes you would like to submit but I noticed last month that there was not a single pudding or dessert entered so I would be very happy to see some of these this month! I also have a husband who every night says “what’s for pudding” so this is purely a selfish request! With this in mind, I have organised a prize for one lucky entrant, which is a Pudding Sleeve from the lovely people at Mermaid!
Mermaid Pudding Sleeve

- Meals using leftovers
- Meals using up the ends of packets
- Substitutions of cheaper ingredients
- Packed lunches
- Meals that use less energy to cook
- Pressure cooking
- Slow cooking
- Faster cooking – less oven time for example
- Batch cooking for the freezer
- Sustainable foods
- Food you have grown yourself
- Meals from reduced food in the supermarket

PS: The prize can only be sent out to UK or Irish entrants. The winner will be picked at random by allocating a number in order of entry.
Have just submitted my quesadillas – not a pudding i’m afraid but very cheap and cheerful 😉 You could actually put chocolate spread and chopped bananas in to make it a pudding… but maybe that’s a new blog post!

Ah . . . just realised you would have preferred puddings. And I have a savoury dish. Ooops! (With a bit of imagination, think of it as a pasta pudding!)
Pudding were just a suggestion so don’t fret:-)

Hi Camilla, thanks for hosting, looks like it will be another popular round. My recipe can be batch cooked and uses seasonal (cheaper) veg. Ren x
Thank you Ren, I can’t wait!
I have a feeling I don’t know what pudding is….. (not British here and none of my puddings need a sleeve, just a bowl)… so I submitted something else. 🙂
Pudding just means the same as dessert or can be a steamed pudding and the sleeve is a new invention for making a specific suet based Roly Poly Steamed Pudding or Spotted Dick:-) Any money saving dish can be entered into Credit Crunch Munch so if you have a dessert do feel free to enter that too!
Lovely – looking forward to lots of thrift, pudding or not!
On my to do list Camilla 🙂
Fab, I look forward to it!
I will see what i can do on the pudding front. My hubby also loves his pudding especially with custard.
Fab, I’m looking forward to this month:-)
OOh I like this challenge! I have an idea already 🙂
Great, look forward to it:-)
Challenge accepted! I suppose I could have added my apple crumble but I didn’t think of it at the time. The Tea Time Treats challenge for Feb is puddings (I think, better double check) so you might end up with a few suggestions to keep the hubby happy.
