It’s that time of year when I start to fill a space in my larder with little jars of chutneys to accompany cheese boards, cold cuts and chillies... This is Beetroot and Orange which is delicious with goats cheese, Stilton and mature cheddar and works just as well with a burger!! I’ve halved the recipe as I’m really good at finding jars filled with all sorts of deliciousness in my larder months later! 🙈 is that just me?? ... Recipe is from The Modern Preserver ♡
Lazy Sunday’s are made perfect with lemon and Poppy Seed Cake 🍃🍋🍃The wonderful smell wafting through the house made up for the sudden lack of sunshine!! I think we’ve been spoilt with our glorious September weather!! ... Just as well I read this back before posting, I’d put poopy not poppy!!🙈 .. This delightful cake is from Sweet @ottolenghi ♡ made all the better by the fact that double cream is used in the batter! ♡ #LazySunday
THANK YOU so much for all your kind and thoughtful messages left on my last post 😘 I’ve read them all and was hoping to start replying but there are so many it may take awhile! So my apologies for the collective thank you. It’s been a tough week helped along with lots of comfort food, when I say comfort I mean even KFC 🙈 Today I was in desperate need for something comforting but healthy too! This Lemony Lentil And Coconut Soup fitted the bill perfectly! It’s my go to spicy, simple bowl of comforting deliciousness 👌🏻 especially now the evenings have turned chilly!! ... I’ve missed lots of your posts so I’ll be having a catch up soon. Thank you again ♡
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
