Meal Planning Monday – 22 April 2013

22 April 2013 3 comments

I’m stuck in this limbo between Winter and Spring.  I know it’s supposed to be Spring but I kept finding myself still choosing winter comfort food when planning my meals this week; Two Bean Chilli, Sausage and Puy Lentils and Spaghetti Bolognaise. I’ve never made the Salt Cod before and in truth I’m using up [...]

Meal Planning Monday – 15 April 2013

My daughter has now been off school for 18 days!  18 WHOLE DAYS!  I’m gagging for her to get back to school tomorrow and a semblance of a routine restored.  Her school had an inset today (just what we needed after two weeks off),  but  she was still supposed to go to child-care but threw [...]

Slow Cooker Sunday: Sweet and Tangy Meatballs

6 January 2013 4 comments

This isn’t the normal type of meal I would cook.  I tend to lean toward fresh ingredients but I do love a cheat sometimes.   A while back I was in Ikea and got caught up in the moment and bought a 1kg bag of their frozen meatballs.  They’ve been clogging up my freezer ever since. [...]

Slow Cooker Sunday: Special Edition – Food Styling with Ren Behan

9 December 2012 4 comments

I find it very difficult to make brown gloop look appetizing!  The lovely Ren Behan, a friend and local food blogger, kindly invited me around her house for a session on Food Styling.  I had no idea there was actually such a thing.  Apparently, there are people who do this for a living!  They travel [...]

Slow Cooker Sunday: Banana Bread (2 Dec 12)

2 December 2012 8 comments

I was inspired by an entry on Slow Cooker Sunday last week to have a go at making Banana Bread in the Slow Cooker.  As a family we don’t tend to eat a lot of pudding and I don’t often bake, unless it’s a rainy day and struggling to find something to entertain my daughter. [...]

Slow Cooker Sunday: Chinese Style Pork and Noodle (18/11/12)

18 November 2012 5 comments

I have a small confession to make.  This was originally supposed to be Chinese Style ‘Beef’ and Noodles but for some strange reason I bought pork.  However, I had a quick look at the ingredients Spring Onion, Ginger and 5-spice and thought it might work with Pork and it did.  The picture really doesn’t do [...]

This week I have a special treat for you, someone who can really cook.  It’s none other than Keith, from Reluctant Housedad famous for his Thrice-Cooked Chips.  I only cook mine once and they come out of a bag.   I had to rein him in a bit as he has a penchant for things that [...]
