We’ve been invited over to a good friends place for a late Sunday lunch today and our contribution will be dessert. Our host is a complete foodie and comes up with amazing meals every time we visit so we are under absolutely NO pressure to provide something decadent that will complement her cooking. I didn’t want to rely on my old…

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…
Warming and satisfying Lentil and Sausage soup
With Christmas finally over thoughts in our house turn to something substantial but not taxing to the system. It’s winter, it’s cold and damp outside and we also don’t want to be doing too much work in the kitchen after the recent festivities. This soup came about after seeing some pins and rooting around in…

A couple of years ago I was at a friends house over xmas for a post Boxing Day buffet when she produced the most gorgeous cranberry sauce I’d ever had. When I asked her where she got it from she let me into her secret- she had made it herself! Said friend would be the…
My Apple and Cherry Crumble
It’s officially autumn. It looks like the end of the unseasonably warm weather and we are well into November so it’s time to break out the warming puds. I have some past their prime apples in the bowl and have even thinking of ways to avoid throwing them away. I’ve posted before about my plum…
Easy Butternut and Sweet Potato Soup Recipe
I’m loving autumn this year!! The trees are changing colour and the air is crisp and I’ve even started to smell bonfires!! The Dazzler has been away for a couple of weeks at his mums which has left me fully in charge of what I eat. I’ve been having lots of salads and healthy options…
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…
Takeaway review – Smoque Grill, Queens Park, Brighton – my best burger EVER!!
I don’t know about you but I do love a good burger. I’ve had lots in my time but often my much anticipated meaty loveliness leaves me feeling let down. Whether it’s size or taste or general standard I’m often left disappointed. Not so with Smoque grill of Queens Park in Brighton. I should start…
