This week is going to be one of the busiest weeks we've had in a long time which is really saying something considering how mad our lives have been recently. In the past, I might have been tempted to not bother with a meal plan and just wing it but that never works well for me (or my bank balance) so I'm going for a meal plan with a difference this week. Every day this week, I'll be getting in from work about half-past four and every single day, I'll be going back out again at some point as I have pretty much everything from a parents night to a works do and from a football match to a spa … [Read more...]
Butternut Squash and Ginger Soup…
Judging by the sky outside today, it's definitely a soup for lunch day! Which means that today is the perfect day to share my super warming butternut squash and ginger soup recipe! One of my all-time most popular posts is my recipe for spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup - especially at this time of year! It's my favourite soup recipe most of the year round (I'm all about Pea and Mint in the Summer) but I made a big batch if it last weekend which I had over a few days for lunches.

This year, we're trying to be a bit healthier with our comfort food though so rather than our normal rice pudding recipe, … [Read more...]
Ten ways to reduce food waste NOW….
I first published this post five years ago but when I sat down tonight to write a whole new post about how to reduce food waste, it felt a bit like deja vu and then I remembered this post and thought it would be easier just to give that a polish up and and share it again rather than write a whole new post! We all know that we shouldn't waste food, don't we? But are we all actively taking steps to make sure that we don't actually do it? In the UK alone we throw away about 15 million tonnes of food waste a year and just in case you've never really thought about it before, you're not … [Read more...]
How to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker….
Have you ever wondered how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker? To be honest, I probably don't need a whole post to tell you how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker, I could probably fit everything you need to know in a tweet. ;-) But seeing as we've just polished off our Sunday dinner made up of slow cooker chicken, Yorkshire puds and veg I thought I'd tell you how I cooked our chicken today. Before I do though, I will say that this isn't my favourite way to cook chicken because it literally cooks it so melt in your mouth soft that it tends to fall apart when you … [Read more...]
