This post is written with a heavy heart 💔... Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our handsome boy Benson 💙😔 ... Benson bounced into our lives 10yrs ago when he was all ears and paws 🐾 bringing fun and joy, immediately becoming an important member of our family💙 he was full of mischief and always over done it when greeting visitors 🙈 he has left us broken hearted but with lots of memories and stories that we will cherish 💙🐶💙 ... R.I.P Benson ♡ 💙 ♡ #OurBoy #Benson
Filling my empty cake tin! This is a courgette and walnut with a cream cheese & lemon topping and while I’m in a mess I think I’ll make another! I’ve got some bananas that are looking a bit sad! I might go mad and get the chocolate out and really make a mess! 🙈 If anyone wants to come and wash up let me know!!! ... Talking of cakes is it just me or is anyone else finding GBBO boring?? 👎🏻 I think I’ll do a poll on my stories! I’m really enjoying Masterchef I love the new challenge where they can’t see each other! 👍🏻 ... right off to get messy! Enjoy your weekend it’s lovely weather here in London! ☀️ #OnMyBlog
After Sunday’s family feast I had some leftovers! I always over cook 👩‍🍳 I’m a bit more just in case cook!! So the freekeh salad ( which is delicious the next day ) and sweet potatoes were taken off for work lunches the next day, I was left with the roasted lamb shoulder, so along with some other bits and bobs a few spices and a tin of chickpeas, yesterday I rustled up a lamb curry! In no time at all using one pot and hardly any prep we had a delicious curry!! 👌🏻 I’ve popped the recipe on my blog... #LoveYourLeftovers #CurryInAHurry #OnMyBlog
So yesterday’s middle eastern family feast was delicious, even if I do say so myself!! 😀 I’m not going to go on about having an empty nest but there really isn’t anything like having a table full of food, family and laughter! ♡ I posted pics on my stories and had so many people asking for the recipes, I’ve started a post for my blog so I can share them but because it’s so many it’s taking ages! 🙈 So I’ll include them in this post and go and finish the blog another day!! .... I made ... 12hour lamb and Smokey Aubergine from @hiddenhut cookbook ... Preserved Lemon & Rose Harissa Chicken from Persiana Freekeh Salad and Sweet Potatoes with Baked Feta from Sirocco all @sabrinaghayour ... I added flatbreads, hummus, simple green salad, little bowls of pomegranate seeds and a yogurt and cucumber dressing. Everything worked together perfectly nothing was too spicy just aromatic and delicious! Perfect sharing food! ♡ If you haven’t seen my story the table decorations were pomegranates with candles inspired by Kelly @let_there_be_white ♡ Platters and bowls are from @ofspecialinterestinteriors and @anthropologie ...
After having a busy week I was so relieved when I remembered I had a stash of Ragu di salsiccia e semi di finocchio ( tomato, sausage and fennel seed ragu) in the freezer! 😅... I’ve already shared this recipe with lots of my followers and a couple of weeks ago I posted it on my blog! ... This ragu doesn’t need long slow cooking like a regular ragu so it’s a great speedy supper! 👍🏻 ... ... ... Is it just me or is anyone else ready for comfort food and cosy jumpers?! ☺️
Hello September! ... Yesterday’s bake was a Fig and Cinnamon Streusel Cake that is so delicious and simple to make!! I made it lots last year, it’s a firm family favourite! ♡ It also works beautifully with caramelised apple and hazelnuts. I put the apple recipe on IG last year, if you want it I’ll happily send it to you! The fig one is on my blog! ♡ ... wishing you all a lovely weekend x #familyfavourites #onmyblog
