going through my cook books I have been looking through a few of my (far too many really! ) cook books recently. I do this every now and again, and note down any recipes I like the look of. One of the books I looked through was The Vegetable Bible by Sophie...
Lunches
Simple mushrooms on toast. A super simple plate of loveliness for any time of day
I’ve had mushrooms on toast for breakfast a couple of times recently. But it’s really filling and I think it would also make a great lunch or simple supper dish. Perfect for one. Very quick and super simple. Only 220 calories, but keeps me going until lunch, may be that big punch of protein.
Fridge soup that’s Paleo, I think, an avocado smoothie and a breadcrumb topped crumble
low carb soup Still on my quest for nice things to eat on this high fat, now even more low carb, diet my coach has put me on, I thought I'd do some soup. I love soup and have it often. It suddenly occurred to me today that if I didn't put in my usual scoop of red...
Fiery Potatoes, spicy and delicious
Delicious spicy potatoes, as hot, or not, as you like them. Wonderful just on their own, and great as a side dish too
Use it up meals, Roquefort tart, split pea soup. Soup just 13p
Use it up meals, Roquefort tart and split pea soup. The soup is the simplest one I know, only needs 2 ingredients
Mixed veg Dahl that turned into Dahl soup
Had an experiment that turned out lovely today. I intended to make a Dahl, but it ended up as Dahl soup because I added too much water. There were the stalks and stems from an entire cauliflower in the fridge, and I thought it would make a delicious Dahl, with some...
Zombie burgers using dead bread
Tried the first experiment with reviving dead bread stored as breadcrumbs today. Had a look in the fridge and found a few bits and pieces that I thought would work, got a bag of breadcrumbs out of the freezer and had a play. I have set out below what I used to give...
Advent, stuff, soup and resolutions
I’ve just been reading Sue’s blog post about her new reverse advent tradition. Last New Year, I resolved to get rid of something every day throughout the year. Although I have been taking stuff to the charity shop, I’ve slipped a bit lately, so I’ve taken Sue’s post...
A whole days filming and sundried tomato sandwich filler, 9p
Oh my goodness, this is delicious! Super simple to make
Fishless kedgeree, 64p, or use it as vegetable rice, 25p
This made two generous portions of tasty rice, so there may be leftovers for lunch the next day.
Using breadcrumbs for dinner
We are always treated to lovely coffee and something interesting to nibble at U3A meetings. Today the nibble was a little pastry tartlet filled with leftover breadcrumbs, a little onion and a smidgen of anchovy. It was divine!
Spanish Omelette 46p, we had ours with sweet potato chips and kale crisps
Had an old favourite for dinner tonight. It’s another one of those dishes that can be used for all kinds of sundry leftovers. All you need is a tasty mix, that you then pour eggs over and top with cheese if you like. I used some leftover green beans from the WI lunch,...
