I am making Homemade apple shortcake. Cooking own stewed apple. We are on budget so if we have small meal for dinner I will make a dessert to full up boys. We don't have dessert every night maybe once a week.

I usually only do dessert if we are having guests for dinner, however, last night had a hankering for pancakes which we had with plenty of lemon juice, a little sugar and butter between each one. I love apple shortcake and it is quite an economical dessert to make, especially if you have your own apples.

Made enough last night to stretch for a couple of days. Did a trifle with fresh blueberries, whipped cream and lemon curd...yummo. Love blueberries!

No desserts in this house usually but we do have sweet things like apple pancakes with cream or bacon with waffles & maple syrup for dinner every now and then :-)

I make sponge puddings, self saucing choc pudding, crumbles, stewed fruit and ice cream, but not every night

good idea to have a dessert after a small meal when on a budget supercook. In the winter, instead of making a dessert, you could have a soup starter instead :) (or all 3 courses!!) I made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday (first time in years) and realised what an economical dessert that actually was!! Have you visited the Destitute Gourmet's website? Sophie Gray is the mastermind behind it all and she has great cookbooks out too. She's also found on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Destitute-Gourmet/153769577986http://www.destitutegourmet.com/

I did a bread and butter pudding with a twist. Lined the dish with buttered bread, filled the centre with previously cooked apple and chopped dried apricots, topped with a sprinkle of brown sugar and added the bread top. made up a custard with the usual eggs, tsp sugar and milk, poured over top and then baked. Was very nice for a change and not stodgy like I usually make.
