And yes, like you I prep and freeze when I get an abundance like that.<br />I am quitting sugar, and will be reducing (but not omitting) carbs so wheat will be taking a very very lowly place in our diet. Bread does bloat me, but making my own and doing very long proves is often the key. Also I managed to keep a 'starter' alive last week and made a good sourdough which involves two long proves, giving a much less bloat bread (and delicious, hope I can keep the starter alive!)<br />I use tinned beans quite a lot, Pam, I have tried fired but though cheaper it really is a faff. I always cook too much too, and as you say, it takes up space in the freezer. I do buy whole, fired lentils of various kinds though, they cooks quite quickly and I use what I cook in one meal - or it will be eaten cold next day or as a spread. Beans - nope, I buy tinned!

I buy tinned pulses for convenience but I do have the dry ones in stock too but have never gone down the route of preparing them for the freezer. The tinned ones are ideal for a quick supper! x Jo@awholeplotoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525039817338877634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-89754246890738343082015-10-19T12:55:59.306+01:002015-10-19T12:55:59.306+01:00Never thought to use the processor for grating che...Never thought to use the processor for grating cheese, what a good idea and what a bargain you found xxMylittlepieceofenglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010447131003277696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-22160832606612454832015-10-19T08:54:10.230+01:002015-10-19T08:54:10.230+01:00That sounds like a great weekend Pam, and I'm ...That sounds like a great weekend Pam, and I'm glad your gifts were so popular.<br /><br />You get some good buys at your Tesco.

It just goes so much further this way and is available for immediate use as it thaws so quickly.<br /><br />I agree with you about the slower proving AND the double rising giving bread such a better flavour. It amazes me that so many folk are willing to give up flavour for speed in so many foods.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-17944568219081148842015-10-18T14:56:29.086+01:002015-10-18T14:56:29.086+01:00I was so impressed not only with the bargain buy o...I was so impressed not only with the bargain buy of cheese but the really useful tip of using the food processor to grate it, why didn't I think of that?
