These sandwiches make for a nice light and healthy supper when it gets too hot to cook, or when you are starving at the end of the day and can't be asked to cook. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they are diabetic friendly also!
...
I was looking to make us a delicious lunch today, that was not only scrumptious, but also fairly healthy. Todd and I both are on medication for high cholesterol and I am a diabetic, so eating healthier is the order of the day around here most days. It is a real pain getting older, but then again its...
Sweet Corn Muffins are the perfect addition to suppers like that delicious White Chicken Chili I showed you yesterday! Corn and chili are a marriage made in heaven, don't you know!
...
There is one thing with the British weather that you can rely on for sure, and that is that it is highly unpredictable and unreliable! Today (Sunday) has been cold and rainy. The perfect day to make something delicious like this White Chicken Chillie!

I profess to having a certain fondness for donuts, especially the cake type. I like those ones much more than the yeast once, although they are also certainly very good and have their place. But give me a chocolate sour cream or plain sour cream donut over a crueller any day of the week! Love, Love,...
I had some fresh ravioi in the refrigerator that needed using up the other day and so I created a delicious and quick casserole that went down a real treat. I used a spinach and ricotta variety and these flavours worked very well together, but I am sure they would also work very well with a cheese or a beef ravioli....
I was recently sent a jar of Yutaka Korean Kimchi to try and I decided to put it to good use in a recipe for Kimchi Mac and Cheese that I had saved some time back. It sounded delicious at the time and I thought it would be a great way to showcase this great product. I was not wrong!

I am a great fan of Mediterranean flavours . . . oregano, feta cheese, olives, lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers . . . coriander. Greek salad. Yum! Yum!

I recently received a new Madeleine pan and I found a lovely recipe to bake in it. I love French Madeleines . . . tiny little moreish shell shaped little cakes . . . rich and wonderful for dipping into hot drinks. I wanted to do Gingerbread ones because Todd really loves Gingerbread and I found...
I had some bananas here in the house that were just about to the point where they needed to be tossed . . . I hate wasting good, ripe banana . . . it's such a necessity when it comes to making banana cakes and such . . . in fact I always purposely hide a few . . . just so I can have some to bake with.

One of my favourite late spring/early summer fruits is cherries. When we lived down in Kent at this time of year you could find lots of cherry sellers set up on the many laybys in the area, their tables just laden with glorious cherries, of several different varieties.

Sometimes I just have a craving for cake. I haven't yet been able to sort out a way to make a diabetic cake which actually tastes good and has a texture that I enjoy, but I am working on it. I have decided that a tiny taste of what you enjoy once in a blue moon has to be enough, and so every...
Its Father's Day this Sunday and I thought it would be fun this morning to share with you some of the things I wish I could cook for my dad. Unfortunately he is all the way over in Canada, so it will have to be just a wish list. I suppose I could cook some of them for Todd, even though he's not my dad. ...
I saw this recipe on Julies Eats and Treats the other day and as soon as I saw it, I wanted to make it. I love mexican flavours and I love pasta. I did have to adapt it somewhat according to the ingredients I have available over here in the UK, but I was very pleased with the end results.
...
I watched the Pioneer Woman doing something like this on the television one day and it looked dead simple and delicious and decided to try to replicate it for us here at home. I am not a person who eats burgers very often and when I do, more often than not they are a turkey burger. When I saw her making...
I was in the mood for something quick and easy the other night and so I threw together these delicious foil packets, BBQ Chicken Packets. So simple to make and so tasty when done! You can either cook them in the oven or on the BBQ. Its all up to you!
...
I recently received a cookbook for review entitled Perfecting Sourdough, by Jane Mason. Mastering the art and science of baking with starters and wild yeast. Expert author and founder of Virtuous Bread, Jane Mason, has provided the ultimate companion for those wanting to master the art of baking with starters and...
I found that I had quite a few sweet potatoes and white potatoes in the potato bin the other day and I thought to myself why not make a potato salad using both of them and this is what I came up with. Honey Mustard Two Potato Salad! It was delicious!
...
This is a simple cake and very easy to make. Sometimes people think that if something is simple, then it can't be very good, but they are so wrong . . . wrong, wrong!
In my experience it is quite often the simplest things that taste the best of all!

The shop shelves are starting to fill up with early British Strawberries now. My plants in the garden have small green berries on them, but it's far too early yet for us to be eating our own. We have had a week of just gorgeous weather this past week and I took advantage of it by making us some...

I confess to having a certain fondness for Mexican food. I have never been to Mexico actually, no even close, but I do love the flavours of that type of cuisine Now I don't want purists messaging me here telling me that this is nothing like Mexican food. This may well be true, but this is what...
I just have to tell you about this delicious pickle we have been enjoying these past few weeks from the people at English Provender! English Provender Proper Pickle, Beetroot! Naturally delicious, crunchy and all grown up, English Provender Co.’s Proper Pickle taps into the nostalgic taste of traditional sandwich...
We are coming into Strawberry season here in the UK now, and I will put my hand up and say that Strawberry season is one of my favourite food seasons. I purposefully do not buy strawberries at any other time of the year, or imported berries, because in all honesty . . . they just don't cut the mustard! ...
This is a quick and simple dish I have been wanting to make for quite some time now. I originally saw it on Pinterest, attributed to a blog called South In Your Mouth, who got it from someone else, who got it from someone else and so on and so on. You know how it goes. I adapted it to our own tastes...
I picked up some lovely flat peaches at the shops at the weekend, and they weren't too hard, and not mealy. They were just right. We had a couple just eaten out of hand and then I used several to make this delicious salad which we enjoyed for lunch!
...
I took advantage of a bargain I got on some extra lean ground beef, or beef mince as it is called over here, the other day and made a huge pot of bolognese sauce to put in the freezer. I often do this, doubling or tripling the recipe and then freezing the sauce in 2 cup containers, just the right size for...
