So at the weekend I made a lovely Pork Curry in my slow cooker. I had it on since Friday evening and ate it about 4pm on Saturday, the pork was lovely and tender and the spices were really powerful.
So as I try to eat healthy (well I want to lose 3 stone, but I have no will power at the moment), I decided to make Cauliflower Rice. I found the recipe on another Blog and decided to try it for myself.
The recipe is:
Cut up a Cauliflower head and place into a Food Processor and pulse until it looks like the consitency of Cous Cous.
Then cover in a microwavable bowl (add flavouring if wanted, like spices and seasoning). And microwave for about 2 minutes.
Serve. A great way for bulking out a meal without the extra carbs.
To be honest, it tastes like Cauliflower but with a strong curry it is fine. Yummy.

An Introduction
So this is the first time I have ever done something like this and not sure if anyone is even going to want to read this. I am just an average 20 something trying to get by in life. I am hoping this to be a mixture of money saving tips, recipes and general questions about the meaning of life.
I have decided to start a Blog, because quite frankly I am sitting here bored at my part-time job. I want to look busy so I am typing away but really I am posting on here. 'Oh yes, of course, I will send that email out straight away!'
So I currently work 4 jobs, trying to live a comfortable life. My main job is working in Recruitment. No I do not work in an Agency, do not tar me with that! I work in-house and I really enjoy my job. I get paid a good salary but unfortunately I got myself into a lot of debt when I was younger by taking out Credit Cards and spending the money on absolutely nothing! Then paying back the minimum payment due each month. So I finally decided to take the leap and go with a Debt Management company, who I pay £300 to pay my debt. I am hoping to be debt free by next year.
So because of my debt and not wanting to compromise on my lifestyle choices, I have part-time jobs too. Firstly I work every other Saturday at an Estate Agents in the lettings department, showing people round houses. Today is a particularly wet Saturday and we have no viewings booked in. I am also an Avon Lady (Ding Dong), I don't tend to do a lot of work with it, just friends and family, and I end up spending all the money I make on products for myself! And finally I work casually at a local radio station doing promotion work.
You might ask, does she have any free time ever? And the answer is yes, I have a lot of free time and I get bored easily. I used to work part-time in a bar for about 2 years until I decided to leave due to working about 20 hours a week on top of a 45 hour week in my main job. I have also thought about setting up a side-line business from home making home-made gifts. I suppose you would call me a work-aholic.
I never have enough money and am always checking my bank account to see how much I have to spend, I don't have any savings and I spend way too much on food.
So this is my first post and my second one will probably be a recipe of some sort as I absolutely love to cook!
