On account of feeling quite poor right now, I'm doing exceptionally well not spending money during no buy month 😁
The best No-Buy meal recently, or rather No-Buy dish, was a pear and blackberry crumble made by my wife. All the crumbly ingredients were already in the cupboard (just stuff we keep in as standard), and the pears and blackberries all came from our own garden. I'd have taken a photo to post on Hive, but it was too nice so I just ate it.....
A tip for longer term No-Buy is to plant some Swiss Chard. It's best planted in the spring, so probably too late in the year now. Once established it's frost hardy, but needs protection from temperatures under about -5 degrees centigrade. If you plant it in planters or similar and move it into the greenhouse, it'll keep growing during winter (although at a less crazy pace than summer) so you can harvest a leaf or two off each plant as they grow. When you cook with it, you use it like spinach, and it's just as nutritious and iron-rich. Many websites will say that slugs don't like chard and won't attack it. They lie. Our whole first crop was munched to nothing by slugs and snails, so protect it ! Also ensure good airflow around the plants to keep mildew at bay.
Crumbles are fantastic at this time of year - one of my favourites!
