There’s been lots of twitter talk today about favourite fillings for pancakes – it seems most people will be tucking into the classic lemon and sugar. We love them so much we eat them all year – mostly for breakfast on weekends or for a quick midweek dessert. The challenge we set ourselves on pancake […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D After another week of solid rain and daytime darkness, I’m falling back on comfort food. Anything with mash in/on it is my ultimate comfort dish I think, but macaroni cheese is a serious contender. Its big advantage being how quick and easy it is to cook and that it’s all storecupboard […]

[tweetmeme source=”easyteas” only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D I’ve always been a fan of a mid-week roast but it can be a bit of a chore after a long day. Bunging everything into one tray and letting it get on with it for an hour is a much better option. When I was growing up mum always sprinkled a […]

[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 In a rather rash spurt of enthusiasm I planted about two dozen tomato plants in pots in my tiny little garden. It’s now like a scene from the day of the triffids and I need ideas for what to do with lots of tomatoes – cherry, yellow, striped and plum. Bruschetta […]

Time to share my favourite ever recipe. I’ve made this for family, a dozen friends at a time or just for tea midweek and it was the first meal I ever cooked for my better half. It takes a little while in the cooking, but it’s so easy to prepare and the end result – […]

[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 For me fish pie is comfort food and a midweek treat all rolled into one. Creamy sauce, smoked fish and the crispy bits on the top of the mash…love it. There’s lots of quick fish pie recipes out there, but you’ve got to wait for a pan of spuds to boil […]

[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 Classic flavours together in a light, creamy sauce with pasta. We’ve done it with fresh or frozen cod fillets and both work fine. The whole dish from start to finish takes about 20 minutes. In a hot pan, seal a couple of cod fillets, season them with s&p and pop them […]
