Chilli Taco
I wasn’t going to post this because I couldn’t get the picture to work but it doesn’t look as bad as I remembered so here it is: Tuesday night’s dinner…apologies for the delay! Chilli, made to our usual recipe a while ago and frozen for an emergency. Tonight’s emergency being Stephen working late and an […]
Read More..>>Chicken Fajita Wraps
Both Stephen and I went out on Thursday night and were feeling rather delicate yesterday, consequently we both fancied something requiring minimal preparation for dinner and Stephen suggested chicken fajitas. We used our usual marinade for the chicken (chilli, hot chilli powder, cumin, coriander seed, chopped coriander and lime juice) but Stephen added some cloves […]
Read More..>>Harissa Roasted Chicken
We both fancied roast chicken for Sunday lunch but since we eat it so often, we decided to cook it differently. I can’t remember what the thought process was but harissa chicken was about the third suggestion and our most favourite. We sort-of followed a Moro recipe but since we only remembered to consult our […]
Read More..>>Lentils
I’ve had my eye on this recipe from 101 Things for a while now and decided to make a version of it at the weekend. Our enforced holiday last week meant that our eating really suffered, it was partly due to busyness but I suspect the lack of camera and therefore focus for our cooking […]
Read More..>>Nearly There…
I was going to post a picture of the chicken casserole we made yesterday and photographed with Stephen’s mobile but it’s not a great picture so I’ll wait until tomorrow when WE GET THE CAMERA BACK! You can look forward to seeing how we manage to make lentils look attractive then 🙂

We went to visit Stephen’s sister on Saturday and left the camera there so we’re taking an impromptu holiday. Hope to be back soon!
Read More..>>Crispy Duck Breast
Stephen cooked dinner this evening using this recipe from the BBC website. We’d planned to have duck last week but couldn’t find the same recipe. It didn’t really matter because this turned out well, although he might have been a little heavy handed with the cloves 🙂 We served it with egg noodles and vegetables […]
Read More..>>Chicken with Olives and Poorman’s Potatoes
We weren’t intending to eat at home on Saturday night but a bought of illness meant a change of plan. We needed to find a recipe that used ingredients we already had, Stephen suggested using one of our new Spanish books as the recipes are straightforward and don’t require lots of complicated ingredients. The chicken […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole
Stephen cooked this last night to our usual recipe (although he forgot the tomatoes) which meant that all we had to do tonight was reheat it and add some vegetables. The lack of tomatoes gave the casserole a really deep, meaty flavour which was lovely. The chestnut mushrooms really stood out flavour-wise and added to […]
Read More..>>Salad
Monday is gym night so dinner needs to be quick and easy (or lovingly prepared by Stephen but he selfishly decided to go out this evening). Rather than reaching for the toast which is what normally happens when I’m eating alone, I decided to “be good” and eat salad. I usually have this for lunch […]
