I absolutely love pesto, so much so that I have at it at least once a week. Whether it’s on a pizza, spread over a piece of sourdough, or mixed into pasta. Shamefully, I’ve never actually tried to make pesto myself, but when it’s so reasonable to buy (perhaps even cheaper than making it yourself?),…
We’re on a bit of a health kick this week, and so we’re attempting a vegetarian week. The first of many dishes, was a recipe I found online – Butterbean, Carrot & Spinach Stew. Full of fresh vegetables, herbs and spices, this one pot stew is ready in under 30 minutes, making it the perfect…
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have spotted this epic pasta bake on my Stories last night! We were both in the mood for some comfort food, and what is more comforting than a pasta bake? We hadn’t made one in forever, and although it’s the easiest thing to make, I did Google…
If like us, you went a little over the top with the cheeseboard this Christmas, and have a fridge full of cheese still, you might want to rustle up this quick and easy recipe. Blue cheese is one of our favourites, and it just so happens to go perfectly with pasta. I found this recipe…
Slightly cheating with this week’s recipe… I didn’t make my own red pesto, I bought a jar from our local grocer! But when you’re in need of a quick and healthy lunch, and you’re only make enough for one, I’m going to let myself off! This super bright and colour tagliatelle can be made in…
So I know the weather has dropped a few degrees but I made this salad at the weekend and it was de-lish! To good not to share. It basically includes all of my favourite things – bulgur wheat, feta, peas, radish, mint. All the good stuff! Not only is it super colourful and tasty, it’s…
Firstly, sorry that things have been a little quiet on the blog recently. I’ve just got back from spending the last two weeks in Scotland. Stew and I hired a car and took a little road trip, stopping off at the Lake District first, before spending 10 days driving all over Scotland. It was my…
You my have spotted this delicious looking pasta dish in the background of a recipe I posted a few weeks ago. I served our pasta primavera alongside a Stone’s ginger wine cocktail, with elderflower cordial, soda and cucumber, and the two were delicious together. The freshness of all the ingredients used in both food and…
Okay so I have to confess, this is a pasta recipe that uses Sainsbury’s Basil & Pine Nut Margherite. I did not make the pasta. The pasta is amazing. I did not need to make it. Sainsbury’s have nailed it! Phew, now that’s out of the way, you may not agree that this is a…
We made this delicious dish at the weekend for lunch, but it would equally make a great dinner option. Our serving sizes are rather big, so depending on how much you eat, this recipe could serve 4 (1 wrap each), with a side salad and perhaps some grilled corn. You may look at the photos…
Last weekend we had Katy and her boyfriend come to stay with us and so we decided to cook up this little storm for breakfast! A friend of mine kindly gifted me a Let’s Do Brunch recipe book for Christmas and it’s been a godsend when trying to think of new dishes to make at…
