Butternut squash was on special in both of our friendly local german supermarkets this week. All I ever really do with a butternut squash is make curried squash soup so I decided to experiment a little and get ahead of the curve by roasting it and splitting it into 2 dishes; butternut squash hummus for today…

Protein Pack Hacks pt 1: Turkey Meatballs
If there’s one constant in life it’s that there’s always a pack of turkey burgers in a protein pack. If there’s one other constant in life it’s that I’m a bit weird about burgers – I have to confess I’ve never eaten a fast food burger; they look weird and unappealing and lord only knows…
Protein Pack Hacks!!
As previously discussed everyone in my office was on a diet in January and therefore extolling the virtues of the Protein pack from the butchers. I was dubious to say the least as I’m not one for a premade burger or the likes. However as it’s February now I can officially stop being contrary and…
Staging a January Rebellion!!!
January in some ways is my least favourite month; not because of the weather, I happen to like the cold; not even the darkness as I’m always filled with the optimism of spring knowing that the days are getting longer. I have been known to coin the phrase “there’s a grand stretch in the evenings…
Sunday roast made exotic
I love a good Sunday roast as much as the next and I particularly love roast lamb. In my brain lamb is almost too decadent to buy when cooking just for 2, a leg will usually set you back €20 or more and in my opinion it doesn’t lend itself to having its leftovers transformed…
Chicken and Leek Pie (Amended)
I’ll keep this one short. I have a leftover chicken obsession. Sunday Roast has already become chicken salad for today’s lunch and this evening while my Thai Beef Curry was cooking away I made chicken and leek pie filling. This has been happily stashed in the freezer awaiting it’s puff pastry top later in the…
Thai Beef Curry
I had one of those Mondays today. Running around like lord only knows what this morning. Getting rained on on the way into work. Mental day in work. Getting rained on on the way home from work. It’s like it knows when I’m about to get on a bike! Anyway I came home to realise…
Oven "BBQ" Chicken
So the list has already been circumvented this week, we had beef chilli last night instead of Thursday. What did I tell you? We’re crazy like that.
Super Easy fancy(ish) dinner!!
Something happens to me this time of the year and I turn into super productive housewife woman. It could be the darker evenings and the cooler weather enticing me into the kitchen but either way I love it. In fact I have been so productive I didn’t have time to take any photos and write…
The easiest way to cook asparagus
So this is an absolutely foolproof way to cook asparagus/ most greens, I have done it with sugarsnaps, green beans and tenderstem broccoli.
