Homemade Sushi Rocks!!

LIke many people I love sushi but have had a real mixed bag over the years, from divine to almost crunchy where its been in the fridge too long, but I’ve been inspired by one of the girls at work who showed me how easy it would be to fill my flabulous Black and Blum…

My Chocamocharetti Cake

Picture this, a wheat free, chocolate, almond and coffee flavoured moist ‘cake’ that melts in your mouth and goes perfectly with a morning coffee or with a glass of milk. How did this come about I ask yourselves? Well I was spring cleaning my cupboards and came up with some ground almonds, a load of…

Lentil Bacon and Tomato Soup

It’s the end of January and it’s still 5 days till payday, yet we have no money in the house so we’ve had to get creative on the catering front. I found myself a chicken at the bottom of the deep freeze and we had potatoes and carrots in the pantry so today is going…

Walnut and mixed fruit oatmeal cookies

There are times when only something sweet will do, and one of those times is today, as I’m hungover and the Dazzler isn’t feeling fantastic. I’ve already got the bread rising so thought I’d use the heating up the oven time to make cookies and had a root around in cupboards to use up some…

Theres something about the Taste…

One of the highlights of this weeks TV for me had to be the start of The Taste UK on channel 4. It is a foodies dream – Not only does it have Nigella, Bourdain and chef Ludo- who are a great triple act, but it had lots of real food in (sometimes huge) bitesize…

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…

Day Five – Fishcakes and Salad

Ok I’ll admit, tonight was a challenge!! We went out for our work offsite today which ended in a free bar, and continued on for HOURS. This meant that being in the middle of Brighton with access to all those takeways was almost too much for me to bear! But as luck would have it…

Day Four – home cooked KFC

No I’m not going crazy, I don’t expect you to come home from work and make fried chicken from scratch ( it’s Thursday for gods sake) but I do want you to try real chips, Nigellas way, if you can!! I really have to worship at the feet of the domestic goddess for these as…

Day Three- Pizza Night

Happy hump Day!! You’ve made it through most of the week so it’s time to celebrate!! Either you’ve been out for midweek drinks or you are looking forward to a nice easy meal…so here it is- pizza night!! It took me a long time to wean Dazzler off his favourite food- Pizza Hut!! It’s not…

Easy Peasy Thai green Curry

Tuesdays are our favourite tv night so we want something satisfying but healthy to see us though the night. It’s also one of our busiest days at work so I’m usually tired but this isn’t so much a recipe as a throw together takeaway menu with all the taste and none of the huge cost!!…
