Thai Monday - Green Curry with Chicken
We last had this only two weeks ago but since we’d made double the paste we needed to use it up today so it didn’t go to waste. As it was, we think the paste had lost something from sitting in the fridge as it wasn’t quite as zingy as normal. It was [...]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry
We haven’t had this for ages so while shopping on Saturday, we stopped off at our local Thai supermarket and picked up the ingredients we needed to make the paste. Fred made up the paste yesterday and I cooked the actual curry when I got home tonight.
It was good but not as good as [...]
Indian Cooking - Methi Chicken, Sag Aloo and Naan Bread
Somehow we have never cooked any Indian dishes together before, but a friend had given us some methi leaves so this was a perfect opportunity to start with methi chicken. We followed this recipe, making our own garam masala rather than buying it ready made and soon the warming aroma of roasted spice was [...]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken (and Chicken Stock)
As you know, this is a firm favourite in our house and after our first week of healthy eating we were both looking forward to it. Aside from over-cooking the roast potatoes, it lived up to our expectations and we both left the table feeling full and content.
With the leftover carcass we made chicken [...]
When Lentils Go Bad
We’re back on a healthy-eating kick after a long period of abstinence. The first few days are always the hardest so yesterday we trawled the recipe files and books looking for interesting, tasty and healthy things to make for dinner.

Read More..>>Ginger Chicken
This was a recipe from the Blue Elephant book that turned out quite well but we both agreed we prefer our Thai food to be spicy. We didn’t have enough ginger or enough time to make the special Blue Elephant sauce (their version of MSG) so that probably affected the overall taste of the [...]
Read More..>>Chicken Fajitas
We decided to make guacamole today in order to use up the avocados in the fridge, thinking about guacamole led me to crave chicken fajitas so Fred kindly made some while I put the shopping away. They were tasty but not as hot as we usually make them.

Ginger had a day’s holiday today, and prepared this for when I got home, which was really nice She’d fancied something with chicken and looked back through Dinner Diary to see what she could find. This post looked tasty, so she bought the ingredients and got to work.
The result was very good [...]
Read More..>>Birthday Barbecue
It was my Mum’s birthday on Friday (Happy Birthday Mum!) so yesterday we had a barbecue to celebrate. As well as the usual sausages and hamburgers, Fred expertly cooked some garlic and rosemary lamb chops and some chicken which we’d marinated in a sticky barbecue sauce:
We served this with tabbouleh and flatbreads and a [...]
Read More..>>Chicken Salad
Having been on holiday in Spain last week, we mostly ate meat. Then yesterday we drove up to Suffolk where I was playing cricket and I ended up eating sausages for three meals in a row - sausage and mash for lunch, barbecued sausages in the evening and then another sausage as part of [...]
