It is also a time for reflection. When it comes to food we are all perhaps a little guilty of being wasteful, however unintentional. For that reason I thought it would be worthwhile at this time to look at some snacks and recipies that provide variety in diet, while minimising the impact on your pocket.

Below are a few ideas for everyday snacks and recipies that are quick, easy to prepare and cost-effective. They also give you the opportunity to use up the food that never made it to the Christmas table
