No, this is not me declaring my love to my lovely husband. Instead this is a traditional danish meal! Called Burning Love in Danish, or Brændene kærlighed..
During my pregnancy I have been craving a lot of Danish dishes. Unfortunately, I haven’t really been able to cook them. This is the one I especially have been craving.
The fact that I struggled cooking it and eating it, when I tried making it a few months ago, is a totally separate issue.
It went down really well with the husband and ok with “Baby” Blip!!
If you are looking for a healthy meal, then this is definitely not it. But cheap, oh yes!!!
It’s also quickly made!
Serves 4
Make mashed potatoes enough for 4 – 50p
Ingredients
500g cooking bacon -Morrisons 60p
2 big white onions 10p
(Optional Butter 25g – 20p)
Black Pepper 2p
Method:
- Dice bacon, fry it in the pan to crispy, take out but leave the fat in pan. Add the onions fry not to crispy but until good colour, add the bacon back on. Then add pepper and the butter if you want to.
- Serve a big spoonful on top of the mash! Serve with pickled vegetables..
Serve with either pickled cucumbers or beetroots.
For 4 large portions £1.42 (without pickled vegetables). 35p per person. -based on Morrisons prices (2017)
Bon Appetit -as my grandad would say!

I'm a single mum with two adorable kids, Flipper and Blipson, they will be known as here.
Until January 2019 I was working, but we found it wasn't compatible with my partners work pattern and the many hours he worked. Hence, I gave up my job and focused on the boys.
Then, me and my ex-partner decided to split up at the end of 2019 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since, to get to terms with being a single mum. Managing a life just with them, moving house and starting on a fresh. Luckily, we still have a good relationship and happily spend time together with our kids. Which I believe is so important for them.
It's hard having given up a job and then suddenly finding yourself on your own, however, it is for the best. I hope at one point in time to start working again. But until Flipper start school, (he is 3 but we are deferring him a year due to his hearing impairment), I'll probably stay at home as a stay at home mum.
The good thing is, I have always been good at budgeting and stretching my money. Being a foodie doesnt always go hand in hand with being on a budget, however, it does make you creative. Because of this, we eat quality meals but on a budget.
And this is what I would like to share with you guys.
I have long been considering if I should start from scratch with a totally new blog or just continue on this one. I have decided to continue on this blog, as the past will always be a part of who I am.
Love
Metti, Blipson and Flipper
