Recipe: Harvest Bake

A delicious warming supper as the nights start to draw in. I think the original recipe for this was in the Dairy Cookbook and I make it every year when the first signs of Autumn arrive. We make this with turkey mince but you could, of course, use beef.

Recipe: Bacon Wrapped Pork Fillet with Cherry Sauce

This is one of those meals that looks quite "fancy" but really isn't. We use Pork Fillet quite often as it's so versatile - I often slice it for a stir-fry meal or something like quick sweet and sour or roast it like this - the bacon wrap helps to add flavour and keep the meat tender. Would also be good using plum jam for a nice Autumnal flavour.

Menu Plan Monday - September 19th 2016

OK so I've been rubbish with my postings the last couple of months, we had such a busy Summer but now the nights are drawing in and the days are not quite so bright and sunny I'm making an Autumn resolution to get back into a regular routine of posting our menus and recipes.

Recipe - Creamy Chicken Casserole

This is one of those dishes that's not very photogenic - but it makes up for it in taste!

Recipe: White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

We love Cheesecake! I am always trying new flavour combinations and this is one of my favourites.

Menu Plan Monday - July 11th 2016

Happy Monday everyone, where did that weekend go?  We didn't do much of anything this weekend; as Summer Holidays are fast approaching we made the most of a quiet weekend which even included a Jammy Day!

Stronger Together?

So the vote is in, and we are out....  I am hearing so much hatred and panic this morning which saddens me.  I think it's very condescending of the Remain voters to say that all those who voted to leave are racists and uneducated,  I think it's wrong for the Leave voters to expect things to change overnight - if we want future stability we need to take our time and plan well.  As a parent, yes, I'm concerned what this means for my son and his peers but I also see this as an opportunity to put right decades of wrongs to make England a better place for him to grow and prosper.  We must now show that we are stronger together as a nation.
