Your five a day can be a chore sometimes, but why not get two of them out of the way in a quick, nutritious drink?

Monsanto

I don’t usually reblog, however given my general aversion to GM foods, this seemed important. Horrors.

Stilton & Watercress Muffins

Someone was once heard to say ‘not everyone likes cake’. And to that I say those people are quitters who haven’t the stamina to keep searching for the kind of cake that they like! But sweet treats aren’t for everyone, so I was drawn to seek out something off the beaten patisserie path. I’m also attending my Uncle’s […]

Super Simple Coleslaw

I love coleslaw.  It’s all crunchy and moreish and versatile and it goes with all the best meals in life- you know, the BBQs and Boxing Day Buffets and summer Sunday cold cut lunches.  Strictly speaking it should include cabbage and carrot in a creamyish sauce but you really can put your own stamp on […]

Food Hero: M&S New York Coffee

We all have our little rituals on our days off, and of a Saturday morning I like nothing better than a slow start with a ton of coffee and a catch up with my on-line life.  I’ll happily confess to being something of a coffee tosser, and I’m subjected to diabolical machine swill at work […]

A Worthy Debate for a Friday

So, it is time to settle an argument unwillingly opened by my mother this past weekend on the subject of the favoured lunch of millions- The Fishfinger Sandwich. The preferable, even out and out correct, serving of this dish provoked a firey debate in the caravan. There were many suggestions put forwards from my luncheon […]
