This is a great, cost effective way of having a nice steak for dinner. Tancred Field Farm in Yorkshire provide us with some fantastic Lincoln Red Sandwich Steaks.
These steaks cost £1.56 and £1.17. We made some potato wedges which cost about 30p.
We also fried some onions and mushrooms which cost about 30p and added it all to a couple of ciabatta’s which cost 75p each.
So this meal cost about about £2.45 each, was simple to make and made from local and organic products.
To maintain good health, we must all consume protein because it contains amino acids, which are the building blocks of our bodies. Amino acids fortify and form the many tissues and muscles that make up our bodies.
Traditionally, powdered protein supplements have been considered as ‘body building’ sports supplements. However, more and more people are learning how whey protein can benefit their health whatever their walk of life. People at different life stages may have special protein needs. For example, the young, the ill and the injured, older adults, weight-watchers and sports enthusiasts.
Whey protein is a natural milk-derived, high-quality protein source that is low in calorie, fat and lactose-free. Solgar selected whey protein because it has the highest biological value of any natural protein. It is also a potent source of lactalbumin and is the only protein source that offers immunoglobulins, both of which are important for proper immune function.
Research on weight loss has demonstrated the importance of high-quality protein for the maintenance of lean body tissue and reduction of body fat. Whey protein is a popular supplement for those who wish to alter their body compositions. Further research on the health benefits of whey has been carried out in the areas of cardiovascular health, immune health and ageing.
Available in natural vanilla bean, chocolate, honey nut and mixed berry flavours, plus convenient 1500mg tablets, Solgar’s Whey To Go Proteins are an easy way to add extra high-quality protein to your daily diet.
Solgar’s Whey To Go Protein blends easily and tastes great in smoothies and shakes and can even be added to sauces, cereals, muffins, pancakes and other bake mixes.

As we approach another follower milestone on Twitter, we’d like to continue our tradition and reward the 500th follower – and the person that refers them to us – with something nice. And what better than my new favourite product, the Hot Chocolate on a Stick from Choc-Affair.
We’ll even warm some milk up for you – or you can just take it away for a late night treat.
Previous winners include Kev Charlton and Emma Croxall for our 400th follower, Alex Duffy and Harriet Jennings for our 300th follower and Phil Kirby and Kevin Hoare for our 200th follower.

We have a new range of locally produced artisan chocolate arriving this week. Choc-Affair are based in York and produce a specialist Fairtrade chocolate. We have many valentines chocolates starting from just 99p plus all year round treats. The half kilo slabs are one of my favourite as well as the chocolate numbers and letters, brilliant birthday present ideas.
Choc-affair is not a large corporate business, disguising itself as an artisan chocolate maker with green ideals. We are what we say we are, and our ethics matter to us.
We are a small family firm that makes and packs everything by hand, and we only ever work with certified Fairtrade chocolate courveture. We try, wherever possible to re use all that we can, so paper is used through both sides on the printer for in house printing, and all scraps of chocolate are eaten, never thrown away!! This way Linda can insist her weight gain is all for a good cause for the planet!
