Neither Poverty nor Riches

"Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much 
and disown you and say "Who is the Lord?" 
Or I may become poor and steal, 
and so dishonour the name of my God." 

Sayings of Agur in Proverbs 30v8-9

I come from a house where the cupboards are brimming with every ingredient you could ever need. Baking goes like this: find a recipe that looks good, go to Mum's beautiful kitchen, get out the ingredients, bake it. Simple.

Now I'm a student. I live in a lovely house with three even lovelier ladies. Baking goes like this: look in the cupboard at what I have, spend hours trawling the internet for a recipe that I can make without trekking to Tesco's to unnecessarily spend money, bake it. And it usually turns out weird. But occasionally, there are surprises: recipes which turn out great and cost only a few essential ingredients. 

So I will keep all of these in one place. Little treasures that allow you to save money for more important things whilst maintaining a healthy diet. 

Hope you enjoy!
