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…

A week of meals.

Saturday morning, what do you do? Have a lie in? Clean the house? Put a wash on? Have some tea and obsess about what you’ll be eating for the next week? Yeah you can probably guess what I did. 

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.

What's the Hook?

I’ve been fairly quiet on the blog front the last couple of weeks. In some ways I have been lacking inspiration and I was also thinking to myself “what’s the point?”. Not in a full of ennui “What’s the meaning of it all” kind of way but more in a why are people going to…

Stir Friday! (sorry)

Those of you who watch Archer will crack up at that title , for the rest of the universe my humble apologies. Anyway puns aside, this is a non stir fry stir fry, that is to say made in a slow cooker.

Chorizo Cheddar Cornbread

Blame my Pioneer Woman obsession or that iPad subscription to Southern Living I treated myself to but I have a major weakness for cornbread. I mean I’m also convinced that I need a house with a porch but the cornbread, at least I can manage!

Eating Ophelia

So like the rest of the country I had an unexpected day off on Monday, thankfully being in Dublin meant that we were spared any destruction. The advice said to stay indoors so stay indoors I did, though I am incapable of doing so without much kitchen pottering. I got ahead for the week by…

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.
