If you’re going to make one of the recipes I have shared with you over the past year, make it this one. It’s easy, it’s very, very tasty and it’s economical. I cooked it on Mothers Day when my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were visiting. Lots of people are vegetarian and pasta dishes are a good …
What do you do when your other half sees cheap lemons in the supermarket? Aside from sighing and rolling your eyes! I am not a fan of lemon based dishes but I couldn’t see the lemons go to waste. Lemon Meringue Pie is my least favourite dessert and one of my husbands favourites. His plan …
My family requested that I make Bread Cake this week. This is a cross between bread and butter pudding and clootie/cake. The last time it was made, it was delicious. The mistake they made was asking me to do it. 😂 Last time we had it my husband and daughter made it and it was delicious. …
So, sprouts in pasta. Yay or nay? Surprisingly, it’s a definite yay for us. Even our youngest who isn’t a huge sprouts fan. It’s a great comfort food and very quick, easy and popular in our home.

This week the recipe is haggis, neeps and tatties soup. I never knew there was such a thing until I went into a roadside cafe near Berwick a couple of weeks ago. I went online and honestly, the recipes I saw were nothing like the wonderful soup I’d had. So here’s my recipe, worked on …
So today (2/01/23) is International Chocolate Cake day! Now I have never, ever made chocolate cake. I did once lose a bet with my youngest and my forfeit was to make him a chocolate cake. He never really specified what type so I used a healthy weetabix recipe to wind him up 😂 It looked …
This week’s recipe came about when there was a flurry of fb activity because the BBC good food folk decided to close their fb group page. Members started new groups and loads of recipes were flying around. This one caught my eye because I haven’t seen a sponge drop for years. Don’t tell my mother …
This week I have chosen a cheery, easy winter warmer. A lovely soup and crusty cheesy, soda bread. Suitable for veganuary too! You cannot go wrong with a lovely bowl of soup and this one is a cracker. I would say you can’t go wrong with the soda bread but I did, baking powder instead …
