Super Soup! Don’t you just love soup! When the weather is cold, rainy or just dull, a bowl of steaming soup is just the thing to warm you up and brighten your day! 🙂 We usually have lentil soup in our house, or a tomato based chickpea or kidney bean soup, so when I saw this delicious soup on Deborah’s…
Oaty Bites! with Chocolate! Bites there were… several of them! 😛 I really can’t believe these disappeared so quickly, but I guess it’s just like eating a perfect bowl of porridge yes? Well it has almost all the same ingredients that my breakfast oats would have (okay, maybe not the chocolate), so that makes it similar …nutrition-wise at least! 🙂…
Festive Feast Ideas! (Free-From too)!!! This week I had absolutely no idea what to post! I’ve been eating of course but mostly pumpkin (again) and chickpeas (as usual)! 😛 So I decided to do a round up of recipes instead to help you get some ideas for the festive season! 😀 This was great fun to look through all my…
Pumpkin & Pea Bazi Short, quick and minimum cooking time or long and complicated, all day in the kitchen cooking? Which do you prefer? Or does it vary?

No alcohol here if you were hoping! 😛 Don’t be disappointed though because this warm sizzling salad is so delicious you’ll soon forget I even mentioned Shiraz! 😀 Last weekend we were at a Farmers Market…
Perfect Pumpkin… Everyone has pumpkins on their blogs! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin costumes, pumpkin carvings, pumpkin pancakes even pumpkin truffles! So, seems though it’s the season for them and I don’t have any pumpkin recipes on my blog yet, I thought I’d have a play and see what I could come up with! When I was much younger and…
Back to Basics: Roasted Vegetables Crispy outside, soft and tender inside, a hint of spice and a whole load of flavour! What’s not to like? 🙂 In the UK the weather has most certainly turned Autumnal, several people have already fired up the central heating and the coats have come out of hiding! There is a definite chill in the…
Cake! 🙂 with berries & cream (free-from)! It’s coffee time… coffee and cake that is! 😀 All over the UK at the end of last week, people were hosting coffee mornings in aid of the charity Macmillan cancer support.
