Throughout July it was my turn to host Credit Crunch Munch for Helen and Camilla and I’m pleased to report the humid weather didn’t keep you out of your kitchens.

We had 24 fantastic entries showcasing thrifty summer recipe ideas. From making the most of summer seasonal ingredients such as Swiss chard, peaches and raspberries to thrifty home made versions of yogurts and breads.

Whether it’s breakfast lunch or dinner you’re after, a snack or a feast, there’s something here for you. Click on the pictures for full size pictures and check out the links shown below.

    what a gorgeous set of entries. lovely collage here – nice idea to present this way Sarah. The ice pops and the Basa fillets (sans bacon for me) sound wonderful!

      I think the basa will be just as good without the bacon. I must make some again.

    The collage looks really good and somehow makes everything look even more enticing.

    Brilliant way to round everything up. I scrolled up and down a few times as ideas caught my eye. I particularly like the look of the beetroot raspberry bakewell bars.
