Garlic pizza bread

Posted in Pizza and calzone, Snacks and sides, tagged , on August 18, 2011| 1 Comment »

Garlic bread might be one of my favourite things in the whole world. I love garlic. I love bread. What’s not to like? It also has the added advantage of keeping vampires away, which is nice. (more…)

Brie, tomato and bacon pasta

Posted in Bacon, Main dish, Pasta, tagged , , , on August 15, 2011| 1 Comment »

How ace is melted brie? I mean, it’s yummy cold in sammiches, but melted it is just beautiful. I could just rub it all over my face. It would burn though. Do you know how hot melted cheese is? Way hot. Not good for faces. (more…)

Mum’s Singapore chilli crab

Posted in Crab, Main dish, Seafood, Shellfish, tagged , , , on August 14, 2011| 2 Comments »

As far as my family is concerned, this is pretty much the only way to eat crab. Occasionally, if we have enough crab for two nights or not enough crab for this recipe, we’ll make a very yummy crab pasta. But otherwise, if you have crab, do this. Yes. (more…)

Chicken and chorizo pasta

Posted in Chorizo, Double cream, Main dish, Pasta, Poultry, tagged , , on August 6, 2011| 5 Comments »

I have nothing to say about this except I wish I’d made four times as much so I could be stuffing my face with more of it right now. (more…)

Courgette lasagne

Posted in Main dish, Mozzarella, Pasta, Ricotta, Vegetarian, tagged , , , on August 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »

 

I know, I know. Courgette lasagne? Really? Surely it can’t taste that good. Or fill you up at all. In fact, it sounds like a stupid idea. But it’s not! It’s a really good idea! I promise! (more…)

Gnocchi with sausage and bolognese, or what happens when I don’t make decisions

Posted in Beef, Chorizo, Main dish, Mozzarella, Pasta, Sausages, tagged , , , on August 1, 2011| 5 Comments »

 

I am terrible, TERRIBLE, at making decisions. Shall we go to this restaurant or that restaurant? Should I have cheesecake or sticky toffee pudding? Or the chocolate fondant? Do I really want garlic bread if I’m having pizza? (Yes, yes I do). And it’s not just food decisions I can’t make. Do I want to watch my new, exciting Lovefilm or another episode of the Sopranos? Do I want to read at lunchtime or go running? (Admittedly, deciding which I’d prefer here isn’t difficult, but oh, the guilt if I don’t run). Do I think this dress is beautiful or is it actually so hideous that it’s become interesting, but ultimately unwearable? (more…)

Posted in Beef, Main dish, Meatballs, Mexican, Snacks and sides, tagged , , , on July 28, 2011| 9 Comments »

This might be my new favourite meatballs recipe. It feels wrong to prefer meatballs in wraps to meatballs with pasta, but I can’t help it! I swear I tried not to! (more…)

Ham and mascarpone pasta

Posted in Leftover ingredients, Main dish, Mascarpone, Pasta, tagged , , , on July 26, 2011| 2 Comments »

 

I always mean to plan the following week’s meals at the weekend and buy all the ingredients so that tea in the week involves the minimum possible amount of stress. What usually happens though, is this:

Chris: “What’s for tea?”

Me: “Umm… I’ll see what we have in the fridge” (more…)

Chicken and chorizo jambalaya

Posted in Chorizo, Leftover ingredients, Main dish, Poultry, Rice, tagged , , on July 25, 2011| 1 Comment »

One pot recipes are my favourite to do. Just cut up the stuff and chuck it in a pan, then leave it to simmer for a bit. Easy! And there’s not even that much to clear up after. Not that I clear up. That’s Chris’s job 😀 Stop feeling sorry for him, I cook him nice food. (more…)
