I had planned to do another dish with the ingredients but as time started to disappear, I decided upon the quickest and easiest of any of my dishes. Most of the sauce ingredients I had in my cupboard, so no extra expense but some other bits were what I had in the fridge. Preparation: 5…

Golden Delicious – trying vegetarian on for size
Last year I tried a few methods to help me feel fuller for longer. On my quest to find healthy alternative ingredients to fit in with our lifestyle, can sometimes prove difficult, as we all love meat in our diet. Which is why, when I was offered the opportunity to sample Seba’s Golden Goodness Soya…
Sweet Chilli Fishcakes Stir Fry
Feeling fishy? Well we were in our house. Not sure why we had so many salmon fishcakes from Tesco, but whilst defrosting the freezer, I found a load and decided that would be next days dinner. Except, naughty it came to the afternoon and I decided I didn’t fancy salmon, spinach & lemon fishcakes at…
Shake up your Brussel Sprouts game with this recipe…
I ate Brussel sprouts last weekend. I know. Doesn’t seem much to you, but it’s a first for me. Those little fart balls have always been a hell no for me but I shook up this side dish so that all the family can tuck in and enjoy last weekend. And I loved it. Does…
And just like that Christmas is over…
I can’t believe Christmas has been and gone and we’re just a few days away until 2020. Seriously, how fast has this year gone? It’s been a great Christmas with family and friends, but I’ll admit, I am looking forward to getting back into a routine. It’s that weird part of the year in between…
Pork Ragu
This slow cooked minced Pork Ragu packs a punch with flavour and it’s just yummy. I’ve always made my ragu with beef & pork mince but as I didn’t have any beef mince this little winner was made instead. To be honest cooking a pork Ragu isn’t unheard off, the Italians have done it many…
Irish Sausage with Mushroom and Onion Gravy with Colcannon
I hate waste, it’s something that’s been instilled in me since I was a kid. There is no need to waste, so why do it? So with my white cabbage, red cabbage, potatoes and spring onions I needed something to cook that will use up all three and what better way than to make the…
Mix-Up Lasagne

Greek Meze
I love doing dinner parties but haven’t done them in such a long time and it’s great to be doing something I love so much. We’re all quite a social bunch but a social bunch regularly meeting is usually difficult to come by. Our friends Maz and Steve, both have busy working lives, one a…
I’ve decided to close my food blog
Wait! It’s not a terrible thing, although the heading may appear to suggest something is going terribly wrong, because it isn’t. I’m just trying to be a little more organised in one area rather than all over the place. So, I’ve decided to close my food blog and instead keep everything in one place for…
Little Ships, Ramsgate Breakfast Review
Last month I met up with my friend Jo and we went to the Little Ships cafe and restaurant on the Harbour front in Ramsgate. I’m not sure why I’ve not been there before but when I finally did, I can see why people have been raving about it. It’s like a well known fact…
