    Great budget meals Vicky, especially that smoked mackerel risotto. That bacon would be great with beans n sausages. 1 or 2 cans baked beans, however much sliced smoked sausage or hot dog sausage and that cooked crispy bacon, cook it altogether in one saucepan and serve with either toast for lunch of mashed potatoes for tea (great meal for the camper van). Can't wait for the next episode, thanks for sharing x

    Good job. A tip, after removing the potatoes from the microwave oven either place a bowl upside down making sure potatoes are completely under the bowl. This will finish cooking the potatoes. Oh,could you cook the bacon in the air fryer? You can tell you put a great deal of thought and time producing the video. You go Girl 🤩👍🏻😉
