[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D As the saying goes, life’s too short to go around stuffing mushrooms. So stuff a tomato instead – much quicker and easier. The garden’s full of them at the moment so I’m looking for different things to do to use them up. It’s also a good way to use up leftover […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D My heart sinks at the thought of ‘just a salad’ for tea – I’m too much of a carnivore. But I don’t want to end up the size of a hippo so I’m always on the lookout for ideas to make a meal of more exciting salads. The best lesson I […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I have a slightly odd relationship with Yorkshire puddings. As a kid I never liked them (which for me translates as wouldn’t try them) and it wasn’t until I went to live in York and saw these massive Yorkshires filled with meat, veg and gravy and I really gave them a […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I’m writing this on Saturday morning so naturally thinking about the weekend breakfast choices. I often make this for a treat on the weekend as it’s a nice change from the usual suspects. I’m justifying  including it here as it’s a lovely light dinner dish too – quick, very little work […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I made meatballs with pork mince instead of my usual beef recipe on the weekend and it worked really well.

This is pretty much my all-purpose pasta sauce recipe (the tomato version, anyway – see below for the cheese version). Tonight I’m making it with sausages cos they were on offer in Marksies – got up too late for the market this Saturday. We eat it with turkey quite often too for a good low […]

These quick and delicious meatballs are simple and cheap to make. This takes about an hour to cook but the prep time’s about 15 mins. So you can get it sorted as you walk through the door and go and do something else for an hour while it does its thing in the oven. So […]

A 20-minute tea this, and tastes amazing. Looks like it takes much more effort than it actually does. I think I got the basic method from watching Valentina Harris do it on the telly. It’s simple and a great way to use a really wide range of ingredients as anything goes.

A little chicken roasts in an hour so it still fits the after-work brief – and once it’s in the oven you can go and do something else while it cooks away. I think it’s better value than a pack of portions as you’ll get at least two meals off it and can make stock. […]

I seem to have been in a soupy mood recently. Must be the onset of autumn. The basic ‘sweat veg, add stock’ method works as the base for most soups I make. For this version, I did a quick check with Delia. It’s very easy and a good way to use up veg.
