Being at home with my family for 9 and a bit months has been a learning curve. Not always a good curve, but a learning one. Things I have learned are a) wow 3 men and a dog eat a lot b) 5 meals a day is a thing when you’re a 22 year old…
I hadn’t planned to post this recipe today, but the speed at which these Shortbread Jammies were devoured by my friends and family led me to believe I should share them with you asap. I had something much more wholemeal planned for you this week, but, balls to that, what could be more irresistible than…
Let’s face it it’s nearly time for the summer holidays and inspiration and inclination are both crushingly low. I have two large men children, not including Clyde, under my feet and my kitchen resembles a local café. Both of them are lying in bed so long in the morning, breakfast is a distant memory with…
As you well know, one of my missions, as a food blogger, is to solve, or at least provide solutions to the question, what shall I do with a packet of chicken breasts? It’s an age old question, well it is in our house, at least. At the moment, I am feeding 3 hungry males,…
Sometimes only a large bowl of pasta and meatballs will do. As a family, we love a meatball supper. Meatballs feature at least once a week for us, so finding a new and exciting recipe for the aforementioned balls, is cooking gold. I will be honest with you, I didn’t really feel like cooking today…
It’s turned slightly wintery again so lets bulk up with a delicious, easy chicken supper. As I write, it appears to be November once more. Depressing, depressing, depressing. The forecast for tomorrow is no better and with a Bank Holiday weekend in the offing the sun they are predicting will have disappeared from your weather…
This week Lucy is treating us to chicken tray bake with some seasonal roasted vegetables and just a hint of spice. A constant in my life is what can I do with chicken thighs. Thighs are by far my favourite chicken to eat, full of flavour, super crispy skin and always a really good price….
This week, Lucy provides us with an answer to the question ‘ What shall I do with yet another packet of chicken breasts?’ When I first started cooking for myself in my late teens, I used to make a tempting Honey and Sesame Chicken dish. It was, if you will, my first signature dish and I…
This week, Lucy has forked up a simple but perfectly spiced slow cooked supper dish your family will thank you for. I can always eat a curry. Day or night. Mostly nights, but a curry for breakfast wouldn’t be the end of the world. It’s a versatile dish, it can be speedy and for the family…
Whether you are an able barbecuer or not, this week’s wonderful chicken dish is a perfect summer supper. It’s definitely barbecue season and I love it. I am not a huge fan of burnt meat in the garden, as we fondly refer to barbecuing, but what I do love are the smells wafting around the neighbourhood…
