Easy 15 minute lunch for one: crispy sage and pine nut pasta
I am alone at home today. My husband has gone to visit his family, providing me with the rare treat of having the house to myself to veg out in as I see fit. I am using this time to clean up this blog and am creating new tabs so it’s easier for people to … Continue reading
Red spaghetti… and a grumpy old woman’s take on the rest of my Chelsea Flower Show 2012 piccies
Part food post, part flower show As I’d already posted some of the food-oriented images from our trip to the Chelsea Flower Show, I originally set out to focus this post on a staple recipe that has sustained both my husband and I during these last few turbulent weeks. The idea was that I would … Continue reading
Pan-seared salmon in a ginger and garlic infused oil
In a pink frame of mind As you may know, I’m fending for myself at the moment. I spent Sunday making some spaggie boll sauce (as you do), most of which I will freeze but some which I’ll keep to re-heat quickly during this week. However, just because I had to cook for myself this … Continue reading

It’s pizza time! Homemade pizzas are yum-o!
It’s pizza time! Home-made pizzas If you read my post on Sunday about my disastrous whoopsie pies, you’ll know that I’m not much of a baker. I can cook up a storm but when it comes to baking, I seriously don’t think I have the touch required. That’s why I’ve mostly avoided doing any baking. Until now… … Continue reading

Nothing beats home-grown. Anyone have any apple-based recipe ideas to share?
Even though I love living in the country, there are some days, like today, when the long commute in and out of London wears me down. That was until I finally got home and was reminded of this … a food parcel from my brother-in-law which he brought over on Sunday. None of my husband’s … Continue reading

There’s still a few more weeks of decent weather left (she says hopefully), and everything still … Continue reading
