Chicken and Cabbage
Did I mention that we got a cabbage in our vegetable box again this week? For the fourth week in a row. I used to like cabbage. Maybe I’ll like it again one day but, at the moment, it’s up there with spinach as of my least favourite vegetables (I used to like spinach too […]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6101430.stm But also National Vegan Week, what a strange coincidence. I know which one Stephen and I will be supporting though. Bang* goes the diet 🙂 *bang, like banger, geddit?

Chorizo and Cabbage
Stephen was given a huge (and really tasty) chorizo for his birthday and we were given a huge cabbage (again) by the vegetable box people so, in an effort to use up the cabbage, and just because we wanted to eat chorizo, we came up with the delight you see before you. Chorizo, fried with […]
Read More..>>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.

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 We made the pizza but it was something of a disaster; out of date yeast, resorting to pre-packed pizza base mix, forgetting to leave the dough to rest…you get the idea.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 […]

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..>>A Fishfinger Sandwich
One of my favourite things to eat from when I was small, the only difference is that I made it with organic bread instead of the plastic bread that was all you could get then. It’s still just toast and fishfingers though. None of that posh-fishfinger-sandwich business for me. There is no place for rocket […]
