Miguel Barclay's One Pound Meals is SO helpful for literally anyone that knows how to turn on an oven.
Each post is a delicious, healthy (some more than others), easy to cook recipe that costs – yep, you guessed it – £1 to make. Very useful on weekday evenings when you CBA to make any decisions about what to eat.
