the sustainable and money saving way to eat and live
If you get out and about in town or by car you are likely to have spotted the abundance of Taco Bell adverts for their Crunchwrap Supreme. Curious and excited about the prospect of having crisps in a folded quesadilla (think the love child of a crisp sandwich and burrito!) I decided to give my…
If you grew up in the UK, you are more than likely to have had cheese and Branston Pickle sandwiches at some time or another. It was while I was eating a cheese and bean toastie (another throwback) that I came up with the idea of a cheese and pickle quiche using the one and only…
I have been asked by a couple of readers how to make oat flour. If you have ever seen it in the shops it can be quite expensive and honestly, who wants to store another type of flour in their cupboard. I know that I don’t! Many of you will already have oats in your…
I have been so chuffed with my Morphy Richards 46641 Pressure Cooker, 6 L – Stainless Steel since I bought it because it has enabled me to quickly rustle up bean meals in a jiffy or run up some houmous at last minute! I don’t know how I lived without it! Plus, it works out…
In an attempt to copy Pret a Manger’s new soup menu, I created a Curried Cauliflower and Sweet Potato soup recipe. I had roasted cauliflower soup when I visited Dublin’s Food Cooperative earlier this year and absolutely fell in love with it. Not only was it a superb soup, it came with fresh bread piled…
I love this time of year with all the gorgeous Autumnal colours and my Butternut Squash, Turmeric and Coconut soup doesn’t disappoint. Not only is it totally autumnal in colour, it is seasonal and packed with goodness from the veg and the medicinal Turmeric. As you’ll see, even my napkins have gone all rusty coloured…
There are some days when there are some veg left in the basket despite my best efforts, so having something like this vegan chunky lentil and vegetable stoup recipe is the perfect way to concoct them into something delicious and filling. You might very well be wondering what ‘stoup’ is and I wouldn’t blame you…
Sorry for the cheesy title of ‘easy cheesy veggie ham and onions scones’! I think the cooler weather and my slightly grumbly knee and sending me slightly more mad than usual. OK, maybe not, maybe it’s just me being punny! *groan* Anyway, there is something about being able to run up something handmade and delicious…
I have been watching Jamie Oliver’s 15 minute meals (yes, I know they were on last year, I Humax’d them!) and really liked the idea of the Chicken pasta with herby 6-veg ragu. The mixture of vegetables with the tomato and pasta looked delicious. As an alternative to meat, I decided to use Seitan ‘Chicken’…
I have been a little eager to start getting some autumnal flavours into our meal plans – especially as a lot of the seasonal veg is available already… and because with being ill I’ll do anything for a bit of autumn comfort food to help to me feel better! Orzo is a wonderful pasta and…
