‘‘Tis the season of ‘ oh gawd I’ve no idea what I’m cooking for dinner tonight ‘ 🙈 but it’s okay, I know what I’m doing for my starter Christmas Day! 😀... it’s endless lists, the house looks like it’s been hit by gale force winds, but that’s okay too because it’s all twinkling!! ✨ ...... If you haven’t had time to stock your freezer with some grab and heat meals then the next best thing is easy, tasty throw together dishes like this pappardelle with chestnut mushrooms and sage🍄🍃 it’s super quick ready in 10mins! This is one of my go too recipes 👍🏻 ( I’ll put the recipe on my stories later and save it to my highlights ) ... In the meantime whilst I am slightly frazzled 😅 I found some leftover quinces that are now poaching ready for 🤔 something, but I have no idea what!!! 🤷‍♀️ ... #TisTheTimeToBeFrazzled
Yesterday was definitely one of those days when you’re so pleased you have homemade soup in the fridge ready to warm through and within minutes you have a hug in a mug!! ♡ ... I made a batch of this Roasted Pumpkin and Turmeric soup last week and another at the weekend! The recipe is from @isaaccarew after seeing him on @thismorning ... I’ve used butternut squash, added red lentils also a big pinch of dried chilli flakes and it’s delicious!! 😋 ... After spending a morning in my shed clearing my art cupboard that’s been redundant for years with spiders as company 🙈😩 and yesterday was so cold the soup was more than welcome! ... Next job painting the cupboard so it can house some of my photo styling bits and bobs that now seem to be taking over the house!🙈😂 ....
As soon as I posted pics of this lovely Blueberry, almond and lemon cake on my stories earlier the messages quickly followed!! Yum, delicious, even I want the batter! But the best one was~ you bring the cake, I’ll cook you dinner! ~ that was obviously an offer I couldn’t refuse!! So what started as a delightful afternoon treat has now turned into an after dinner delight! ... Before anyone thinks I’ve lost the plot and I’m going to a strangers for dinner😳 my eldest is cooking for me!! ☺️ The lengths they go to for cake! 😂 ... #Teatimetreat
You may have seen on my stories that earlier today I made Pasta alla Norma which is a simple but delicious tomato based sauce with the addition of aubergines. You can use dried chilli flakes but I tried it with dried ancho chilli which gave enough background heat without it being over powering! ... it’s the perfect sauce to batch cook and freeze then add the aubergine, basil and pecorino when needed! 🍃 ... You can find lots of recipes for this simple but delicious supper online! ... .. This time of year is definitely when having a few tasty treats in your freezer comes into it’s own! 👍🏻 #simplesupper
You may have seen these Banana Fudge Brownies on my stories yesterday, I was waiting until they had the family taste test before sharing the recipe I’ve used, they loved them, so as soon as I get a chance I’ll post the recipe on my blog! Time is a bit short at the moment as I’m trying to get a room decorated before December, the said room has nothing to do with Christmas ( did I just say the C word! 🙈 ) Does anyone else do stupid things knowing that it’s the last thing you should be doing?!😐 ... #illneverlearn
Finishing up the Tuscan bean soup I made the other day. It’s served me well as the perfect autumnal hug in a bowl! I’m really not good at making lunch daily so a big pot of homemade soup ready to warm through fits the bill!! ... I’ve used whole grain brown barley, borlotti beans and black eyed beans, lots of rosemary with the wheat, spelt & rye croutons, a sprinkling of fresh chopped sage and thyme and a good grating of Parmesan! ... Recipe is from @lizearlewellbeing autumn issue. ♡ ... wishing you all a lovely weekend x #huginabowl
