Regular readers will know by now that by Sunday lunch time my meals take on a little bit of a ‘salvage job’ feel as I try to use up the remains of the vegetable bowl and any leftovers in the fridge. This makes way for the new veggie box delivery on Monday, and makes sure that we stick to our ‘no food wastage’ challenge for this year.

Out the Box – Apple and Banana Bread
I have been trying to get in to making breads recently. Since we’re at home a lot more now than we used to be, we tend to eat more regularly, and make more meals.
I came across this beautiful Banana Nut Bread recipe at the Essential Herbalist blog, and although I adapted it somewhat to fit what was in my cupboard, it is an absolutely beautiful recipe!

Out the Box – Breakfast for Dinner
Have you ever had one of those days where not budget or diet could inspire you to cook your own food, and the lure of a takeaway was stronger than any of your common sense? Well, we had just such a day this week.
Out the Box – Silky Lemon Pudding
Isn’t it wonderful how seasonal fruit matches its season? What can cheer a room up more on a gray and dull day than a bowl of beautiful bright yellow lemons? Citrus fruits do seem to have a really long shelf life in comparison to other fruits, but at some point those lovely decorative lemons need to be eaten. Enter Silky Lemon Pudding!

Ah! There’s nothing like basking in the glow of a successful evening. It really is one of the most pleasant feelings for me.
Christmas Spirit
Christmas.
It’s everywhere.
In shops, in windows, in pubs in bars. I’ve been so busy being a mom and looking after a sick little one that I didn’t notice the, well, advent of Advent. Christmas Spirit – continue reading…
