OK its Monday – I was too knackered to cook a roast dinner yesterday but had shopped for all the bits so needed to use everything up. Obviously I dont have time for a full on roast today so I popped the beef into the freezer and took out some chicken breasts this morning I…

Bean Chili – Its not just for Veggies!!
Originally posted on My FlabuLESS Blog:
I’m feeling the need of something comforting yet healthy this week as work has been all out. So I thought this weekend I would dedicate to making something I haven’t made for a couple of years but I used to LOVE – My Bean Goo – or bean chili…
Boozy Beef – my perfect winter warmer!!
Its winter – I’m freezing and its dark outside when I get home. Its times like this that I want something substantial that doesn’t require loads of effort. For me this equals mash and an obvious partner to that is a stew of some kind. Now I grew up hating stews. My mum doesn’t like…
My ‘all day breakfast’ Tortilla may just be the perfect mid week meal
Its January and money is tight. We’ve got loads of leftovers from the holidays but i just cant face another ham/turkey/mince pie combo so I started to look what I had in my fridge and freezer and realised that I had lots of breakfast items but didn’t really want breakfast. I wanted something filling but…
Paella – with chicken, chorizo and seafood
Since I first had Paella on holiday as a kid, almost 30 years ago I was hooked. Fast forward 15 years and I had my first adult holiday to Ibiza and even though none of my friends wanted it, I had to have paella. The resulting individual paella for one was so obviously pulled out…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs
Yesterday for my birthday I decided to admit my age and have a BBQ rather than pretend I’m in my 20s and go out clubbing – besides I did that on Thursday AND Friday. Most of the BBQ was your usual artisanal sausages and burgers – courtesy of the farmers market – but I decided…
Macaroni Cheese Lasagna
Last night one of my favourite chefs, Lorraine Pascale, tweeted asking which people preferred – mac and cheese or lasagna. It sent my mind running back to the first meal I ever cooked my mum and her then boyfriend at my first ever flat way back in time. The meal was cooked in an old…
Healthy Thai green curry from scratch
I recently blogged about making Thai Green Curry from a jar (for speed) and, because neither of us like it to hot, I started to look at how hard it would be to make it from scratch. When I looked at the list of ingredients needed for the curry paste I realised I had most…
Meatloaf Memories of our Disneymoon
One of our favourite memories of our honeymoon was the meal we had at the 50s Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood studios. The atmosphere and general retro ambience really made an impact and even gave us ideas for our ice cream van!! We went a couple of times and one of our favourite meals was…
I’ve finally got Christmas nailed!!
We have had a wonderful couple of days in the Flabulous household. You all know we love a good feast and let me tell you, we have sooooo feasted. But it wouldn’t have been soooo stress free without planning!! The night before… It all started on Christmas Eve, with me finishing up early and cracking…
