Chicken Fajitas in Pitas for Lunch
We’d planned on having chicken salad for lunch but after a visit to the gym we both felt like something more substantial was required. Luckily, we had all the ingredients for chicken fajitas and guacamole. Filling, tasty and hot. Just what we need before we embark on an afternoon of spring (well, autumn really) cleaning.

This is another recipe from the mysterious Thai Traditional Cooking: The Mother’s Recipes by Maria Kanigman Saunders that we used last week to make the beef stir-fry. Once again, the recipe was easy to follow and quick. I spent a few minutes chopping up the ingredients and Stephen cooked it when he got home. It […]
Read More..>>Chicken with Butter Beans and Chorizo
We’d planned to have this for lunch yesterday but changed our plans as the weather was so good. The chicken needed to be used up though so we cooked it anyway and just re-heated it this evening. It was really tasty and very easy to cook, it could easily be done after work…as long as […]
Read More..>>Coq au Vin
This is something I thought we ate fairly often but looking back through the archives, it seems we haven’t eaten it at all since we started blogging. We’re definitely in Autumn now so this seemed like the perfect Sunday afternoon dish. Previously, I think we’ve always used the Delia version but today we made it […]
Read More..>>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 still very […]
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. Stephen made up the paste yesterday and I cooked the actual curry when I got home tonight. It was good but not as good as […]

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 everywhere. […]
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 […]
Read More..>>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. I came across a Delia recipe for grilled lemon chicken with lentils which seemed to […]
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 dish. […]
