Warming, filling, nutritious lentil bolognese! π If your weather has suddenly turned mighty chilly this week, this is the perfect food to keep you all happy and warm! π You can make a large batch and keep it in the fridge, then reheat it whenever you need in the next couple of days! It’s great on its own, with pasta,…
It’s Macmillan Coffee Morning Day! Let’s have cake! π Now, coffee cake is a bit of a confusing one! To me a coffee cake is a cake flavoured with coffee! π Coffee in the cake and coffee in the icing equals coffee cake! However, I’ve realised that coffee cake to to others is any cake you have with coffee!? Well,…
Marrow! Not something I have ever relished eating! But then… I have never made it into curry before! π Recently we bought a secondhand greenhouse and would you believe it, it came with a massive marrow (and a couple of courgettes and cucumbers!) π Now, last year we had a marrow plant on the allotment, but of the one vegetable…
I love fresh nectarines and at the moment here in the UK, they are everywhere! However, as the weather is getting a bit chillier, I decided to try baking these so I could have a warmer dessert! These are good! π These are real good! The flesh gets juicier and sweeter. The cinnamon pairs perfectly with the nectarine (it’s not…

The spice I have used is cinnamon as this pairs so well with apple, but you could also used mixed spice, nutmeg or even ginger to suit your own tastes. It is important…
Is it salad weather where you are? There’s not much cooking going on here as the weather is so lovely it’s a bit too warm to eat anything much! Of course, we still need to eat, so salads are the way to go! I recall Jhuls @thenotsocreativecook previously saying she doesn’t eat salads! Well, this is definitely not a limp…
Something quick and easy for you this week. It was late. I was hungry! We had vegetables left over from a barbecue and I had just seen a picture of satay chicken, so I thought, let’s try satay vegetables! It worked! These vegetables still have their own taste but are covered in a sticky peanut sauce, then sprinkled with that…
The sun is shining, it is the school holidays and not much cooking is going on here! We’ve been munching on watermelon slices, watermelon cubes and watermelon pizza! π We’ve made watermelon smoothies and watermelon cocktails!
