Warming foods! This week has been all about soups, slow cooker meals and hot comforting food! I am still loving my vegetable box delivery and this week, when I saw loads of red peppers and several aubergines, I knew I had to make a new dolma recipe. I decided to have a little experiment (when do I not) and see…
Autumn is truly here! Come on. Tell me. Have you succumbed and put your heating on yet?! I always try to wait until November, stretching out the last of the warmth… or braving out the start of the cold! However, since the weekend, I have been convinced there is an open window I’ve missed! The jumpers have come out, the…
Hot & Tasty Breakfast! Well, Autumn definitely arrived on time this year! We went from blue sunny skies and 25° to a night-time temperature of 7° overnight. I was almost, that is ‘almost’ tempted to put the heating on… but it is, after all, still only September. So, potatoes are back on the menu (not that they ever really left!)…
A key recipe for comfort on cooler days. It might be July, but the weather certainly isn’t what you’d expect for summer! At just 15°C this morning, with strong winds and a soggy start thanks to the overnight downpours, it definitely feels more like an autumn day. That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Is it time to slow down? This week has been a bit crazy! You know life gets like that sometimes right! First, the weather couldn’t decide if it was still baking hot (come on, 25c in the UK is hot)! or if there was suddenly going to be an almighty downpour. I actually got stuck in the greenhouse as it…
When it’s too hot to even think about cooking! There’s been very little actual cooking in the house this week! The barbecue has made a few appearances, but most meals have been centred around salad. If you’re in the UK, you’ll likely have experienced some of the hottest weather we’ve seen in a while – so much so, I’ve been…
Easy Summer fun recipe! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far – the weekend is nearly here, and with temperatures soaring across the UK this week (yes, over 27°C and climbing!), it’s safe to say we’re all looking for ways to stay cool. What better way than with a bowl of fruity, refreshing, homemade nice-cream? If you…
Crisp, fresh, full of flavour – with a little sweet surprise! This recipe was created when the weather was a bit sunnier! That said, there’s no reason why the weather should really make a difference to this dish! Rather than have it as a main, you could use it as one of many sides – especially if you’re trying to…
Baking up simple, tasty treats for any occasion! Who knew there was a whole day dedicated to biscuits?! Well, apparently today – Thursday 29th May is National Biscuit Day – and I, for one, am here for it! Whether you’re a dunker, a nibbler, or a full-on biscuit enthusiast, today is the perfect excuse to treat yourself (as if we…
