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.

Recipe: Mushroom Stroganoff

We don't have a truly veggie meal very often as hubby has a hard time with a lack of meat, but every so often I get away with a sneaky veggie meal.  Fresh pasta is available in most grocery stores these days and is very budget friendly - lasagne sheets can be used for a host of things other than lasagne...

Recipe: Lemon Chicken Wings with Egg Fried Rice

Using the budget friendly chicken wings makes for a tasty and quick midweek dinner. The key to fried rice, or any stir-fry, is to have everything prepared and ready to drop into the pan.

Recipe: Chicken Cacciatore

I returned to my much loved Dairy Book of Home Cooking for this recipe, I had an original of this book way back in the 80s and we used it in Home Economics at school as a sort of text book. When I returned to the UK after living away my Dairy Book had been lost somewhere in the 20 year timewarp -but I was delighted to find an updated version was available. Since then it's stayed on the kitchen bookshelf (a prized spot in the ranking of my cook book collection) and I reach for it often to find an old favourite or just a bit of inspiration.
