Question

my cousion loves to cook!

Answer 2

Cut down on meat - bulk out with beans or lentils. Pasta bake is filling, cheap and nutritious - use a tin (or a pack - Sainsburys basics are in a pack) of chopped tomatoes instead of pasta sauce. It's a tenth the price. Go shopping in the late evening if you can - anything which is at the very end of its "use before" date will be massively reduced. If you don't want to eat it for a few days, put it in the freezer as soon as you get home. Make sure you get the cheapest version of veg - ready prepared costs loads, and often (though not always) the shrinkwrapped stuff costs more than the loose ones which you bag yourself. Don't buy single snacks, chocolate bars, crisps, drinks etc. - get a supermarket multipack.

Answer 3

To make girl kids: Sugar, spice and everything nice

For boys: Snakes and tails...just joking!

Watch Sandra Dee Almost Homeade on the food channel. She cooks for kids a lot and has good ideas.

Cook your cousin stuff like fajitas or nachos-stuff that is mostly self assembly but not too difficult. Or use a George Forman grill to make a varity of panini sandwhiches.
