 "My daughter is leaving home to start her University degree what can we do to make sure she eats properly but still sticks to her tight budget?" From SB, Hampshire Advice: - Help your daughter out by stocking up on some essentials - include store-cupboard basics such as canned pulses, a whole-grain breakfast cereal as well as fruit spreads and savoury biscuits such as oatcakes. The nakd range of snacks are popular with this age group and are substantial enough to cope with long gaps between meals but don't forget some brain-friendly omega 3 foods such as the Munchy Seeds. Encourage your daughter to check out some useful websites including www.beyondbakedbeans.com which is packed full of practical and cost effective meal and recipe ideas. As well as access to recipes, there is a Facebook page to help your daughter contact like-minded students and keep in touch with friends. There are a number of easy to use recipe books that accompany the site including "Beyond Baked Beans Vegetarian" and "Beyond Baked Beans Budget". |
