Now the weather has turned colder, its much more pleasant to get back in the kitchen. After 12 weeks of lockdown, we are needing inspiration for savoury meals. Lunchtimes in particular feel in need of a revamp. We recently had a glut of ...
Savoury Meals
Check out our selection of savoury mid week meals for all the family.
Easy Family Chicken Sausage Pilaf
I wanted to experiment with a dish we quite often eat with sausages: Our Easy Family Chicken Sausage Pilaf. While we are huge fans of risotto in this house, sometimes its just not practical to stand over a stove stirring the rice for over ...
Vegan Parsnip & Carrot Lentil Leftovers Soup
There are so many posts about using up leftovers at this time of year. They are fantastic but mainly presume that the leftovers have already been cooked. What about the people whose fridge vegetable drawers are still bulging and just can't ...
Healthier Oven Baked Vegetable Samosas
Well, that was an unexpected break from baking! After a week laid low with a chest infection (And I've got quite some chest to get infected ;-) )I'm back. Much as I tried to get into the kitchen last week, I simply couldn't stay awake long ...

Comforting Broccoli & Almond Soup
When the weather is biting cold & winter activities are draining your energy. It calls for soup. A warm, hearty, comforting vegetable soup with a difference. This Broccoli soup with added almonds was just what I yearned for last week. ...
Leftover Broccoli, Chestnut & Mushroom Bake
I defy you to find a simpler, easier, more tasty vegetarian dish than this. Admittedly, this dish came together by chance due to my inability to judge portion sizes. We are all broccoli lovers in this house so when I cook it, I make sure ...
Piri Piri Chicken & Lentil High Protein Bake
We are currently trying to up Millie's protein intake due to all her training. Its a case of replenishing what she is using and providing her body with the right ingredients to do what it is supposed to. She is definitely not on a diet and ...
Spicy Prawn Parcels
We are deep into camping season around here - We've got webbed feet to prove it too! After 9 years of caravanning, we know a thing or two about what works for us, food wise. This summer, we are spending a month (off and on) in the Lake ...
