We’ve all been there, a quick look in the fridge to see what to have for dinner and we realise that we’ve got loads of veg in there that’s looking a little bit limp and you just don’t have the time or the energy tonight to think about what you might use it all for. You’re starving, you’ve already put those lovely chicken portions in the oven….I have the solution.
Chicken, Chickpea and Chorizo Stew
I look forward to the chilly days of autumn when I can get my slow cooker back out of the cupboard, and this tasty chicken dish is firmly back on the menu.
Tomato Salad
For me, nothing epitomises summer more than a simple salad of mixed tomatoes. Great with grilled meat or fish, and even better the next day for lunch with crusty bread to mop up the juices
Week 17
I’m a bit late writing this as yesterday we travelled to Spain, we left home at 4am on Sunday morning, which left us feeling pretty disorientated for the rest of the day. I woke this morning to a beautiful sunny day, I feel very blessed to have this wonderful bolt-hole in the sun and pinch myself every time I’m here.

I chose the local Co-op as it’s a small shop and on the middle of an estate, which means that it helps lots of people who might be a bit less...
Salad Jars
Beautiful looking tasty jars of salad, make it your own and pop in the fridge. Everyone else is sure to have food envy!
Posh Noodles in a Pot
A posh pot of noodles for lunch, healthy and easy. I would love to hear your favourite combination.
Week 15
This week started with the amazing Lichfield Food Festival, over 60,000 people visited our little city over the bank holiday weekend. We had a fab time on the Monday and came home with a bag full of goodies, although that did mean we ended up eating scotch eggs for breakfast, pork pies for lunch and meat pies for dinner for a few days, not that I’m complaining, but my waistband did groan a bit. You can read about my day at the show here. I picked up some healthy organic chicken breasts from...
