Mexican Style Beany Baked Eggs
I love tomato based dishes, there is something so deliciously homely about a meal that starts with an onion and a can of tomatoes. I had my sister round for dinner last week and I cooked my puy lentil and tomato curry and she raved about it for days! In fact she’s put in an … Continue reading
You say Houmous, I say Hummus
Houmous, hummus, houmous, hummus, you’ve got me guessing!?! 🙂 I know, I know, hummus may seem like a lazy recipe to be posting but I have my reasons: 1. I seem to be meeting more and more people who love hummus but have never made it and are astonished when I explain how easy it … Continue reading
Butter Bean and Feta Bruschetta with an Avocado side

The next morning a cooked breakfast was definitely needed so we headed out for the local cafe in hope for some headache cures.

Rainbow Veggie Chilli with Chickpeas and Kidney Beans
Similar to Bolognese or stews I find that vegetarian Chilli is something I make regularly because it is great for using up vegetables that have been lurking around the salad drawer just a little bit too long. It is a perfect end of week meal to throw together before you do a new food shop … Continue reading
Butter Bean, Pesto and Kale Stromboli Pizza
This is the first time I’ve ever made Stromboli! I eat a lot of pizza (home made and ordered in) and I’ve had the occasional calzone but I have never thought to roll the pizza up like this. I decided to give it a go though because I really love the look of it and … Continue reading
Minestrone Verde Soup
As some of you may know (especially if you follow me on facebook!) I’ve been super busy over the last few weeks moving house! The weekend we set aside to move got taken over by a horrible case of the flu which resulted in us cancelling all our plans including our wedding anniversary and taking … Continue reading
