I started the day off by de-christmasing the house. It is a bit sad really the living room looks so bare now but its good to get back to reality I guess. For the last week and a half I have been living in that strange period of time where you don’t know what dayContinue reading “Deconstructed brunch wrap served with homemade salsa”

The Humble Potato
Potatoes are a thing of wunder. I don’t mean to sound too theatrical but they are. How many other vegetables out there can you use in such an multitude of ways? Chips, baked, hassleback, mashed, loaded, gratin, roasted, dauphinoise…. this list goes on. I just read an article that said “potato is the kitchen giftContinue reading “The Humble Potato”
Soft Boiled Eggs and Soldiers
Apparently the phrase Bolied Egg and Soldiers has only been about since the 60s. Whether you are young or old this is a perfect dish for breakfast.

Cheesy Mushroom Parcels
Cooking at home doesn’t need to be difficult, you don’t need to be making recipes with a million and one ingredients to feed the family. Don’t get me wrong I love trying out new recipes, pushing myself to try new dishes that are out of my comfort zone and to learn new techniques in theContinue reading “Cheesy Mushroom Parcels”
Cheese & Chilli on Toast
Breakfast. Simple cheese and chilli on sourdough toast. Normally I wouldn’t have sourdough in, this recipe doesn’t require any speciality bread. You could do it on a bagel, on a slice of wholemeal or white bread, on a crumpet if you wanted to. Its about using what you have in. We only have the sourdoughContinue reading “Cheese & Chilli on Toast”
Mexican Inspired Arancini

Yesterday I attempted to make a Fakeaway KFC Rice Box because I really had a hankering for one but it wasn’t in the budget to go to KFC. I ended up makingContinue reading “Mexican Inspired Arancini”

TheContinue reading “Flipping Delicious Pancakes”
Cheese & Smoked Bacon Turnovers
I woke up this morning absolutely ravenous, I had a big lunch yesterday and by the time dinner rolled by I wasn’t hungry. My 7am alarm boomed out of my phone and my insides were suddenly awake rumbling at the thought of food. I have been trying to be good, to lose a few poundsContinue reading “Cheese & Smoked Bacon Turnovers”
Vegetarian Chilli & Jacket Potatos
I don’t eat mince meat, not for any belief or reason other than I despise the way beef mince smells when cooking, its always bothered me. When I met my now husband nearly 10 years ago he was horrified, absolutely horrified that i made all mince dishes with Quorn or Soya Mince. Truthfully if iContinue reading “Vegetarian Chilli & Jacket Potatos”
