Steak and Roasted Vegetables
After a week of healthy eating, I felt like a treat but not something so bad it would undo all my hard work. While eating the stuffed aubergine yesterday, we commented that it would go well with steak….we must have still had steak on our minds today because when we realised we didn’t have anything […]
Read More..>>Stuffed Aubergine
We followed a recipe for stuffed aubergine (we got one in our vegetable box) which was stuffed with red pepper, courgettes and mozzarella. Somehow, after about six weeks of courgettes, we didn’t get any this week so we used mushrooms instead. It wasn’t a great success. The insides of the aubergines were coated with red […]
Read More..>>Mushrooms on Toast and Salmon and Couscous
For an evening of healthy eating, we decided on baked salmon fillets, a small serving of couscous and green salad. The mushrooms were looking a little past their best, so instead of having them in the salad, Kerri decided we should cook them and have them on toast as a starter. It was an excellent […]

http://www.chocolate-week.co.uk/ How come I didn’t know about this? Obviously, I now have to go and eat lots of chocolate so that I can write about it. Oh, life is hard.
Read More..>>Partridge and Chicken. Separately.
For the first time in months, we ate different dinners. Kerri had chicken breast and salad because she was being healthy. I had partridge and gem squash because I was being greedy. Mmmm… partridge and bacon… mmmmmm…. gem squash and butter…. a good opportuniy to use up some vegetable box ingredients.

One of the first photographs we ever took of something we cooked was Yorkshire pudding. It was big, it was crunchy and it was tasty. Since then, Stephen has perfected the recipe and now it’s big and crunchy and tasty every time. We had it with topside of beef, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, savoy cabbage, […]
Read More..>>Pizza
We started this blog on a Saturday. We were supposed so start it on a Friday with our first post being about pizza. We made the pizza but it was something of a disaster; out of date yeast, resorting to pre-packed pizza base mix, forgetting to leave the dough to rest…you get the idea. But […]
Read More..>>Halloumi with Roasted Vegetables
We got carrots and courgettes in our vegetable box this week, we got them last week too and didn’t eat them. In an effort to use them up we decided on roasted vegetables with halloumi. It was tasty. And squeaky.
Read More..>>Chunky Chilli with Darren’s Guacamole
This is just a normal chilli con carne recipe (I don’t like that name) made with chunks of beef instead of minced beef. The flavours are the same but it feels more casseroley in the mouth. Next time I’ll dice the beef smaller though. We knew we were going to get home late last night […]
Read More..>>Risotto with Prawns and Tomato
Stephen made this on Tuesday night to use up some leftover prawns from lunchtime. It was good but we decided that next time we made it we would add some lemon juice and parsley to freshen it up. Stephen thought it was a bit too hot (I think?) but I liked the heat.
