Meatless Monday today. As we are more informed these days about meat I try to have at least one vegetarian and fish meal a week (doesn’t always happen) but I’ve managed it today. Chickpeas are such a good staple and thankfully nice and filling a great alternative to potatoes. They also carry on flavours so…

Shrimp Tacos with Avocado, Lime and Coriander Crema
Tacos are my new addiction at the moment I have eaten them out loads of times but only recently started making them myself. They are so versatile you can basically put anything you have in them. As their is only me and my hubby I thought it might be a bit of a faff but…
Broccoli and Butter Bean Bake with a Black Pudding Crumb
Sometimes a one pot hits the spot! You can make this vegetarian by not using the black pudding. I’m a Devonshire girl we usually go for hogs pudding but I also love black pudding too and to be fair as we mastered the hogs pudding we found it easy to make the black pudding. Hogs…
Five Spice Pigeon Breast on a Asian Herb Salad tossed in a Hoisin Dressing
I’m starting to come to the end of my frozen game meat. As the pigeon breasts are quite small they make a really good salad. As the pigeon has a slightly strong flavour it can take on some spice. The soft flesh works so well with the crispy lettuce and herbs. The hoisin dressing finishes…
Chargrilled Courgettes and Borlotti Bean Salad with a Tahini Dressing
Sometimes a veggie healthy salad hits the spot. Anything chargrilled tastes good with that smokey flavour and the lovely crunchy bits. Borlotti beans are so creamy and add abit of colour. I also think trying different pulses are great but I can’t be bothered to soak raw pulses as they are in every supermarket in…

Lemon Sole on Polenta with a Warm Sweetcorn Salsa

Chicken, Broccoli and Pancetta Pasta Bake
There is something comforting about a pasts bake and this one is yummy. Who doesn’t love chicken and bacon as a combo (unless you don’t eat meat 😂) well I love chicken, bacon and pasta so winner winner chicken dinner for me. I added in the broccoli to cut through the saltiness of the stock…
Chorizo and Chickpea Salad with a Lemon and Dill Dressing
This is such a versatile salad and the bonus is its healthy, colourful and very tasty. The dill and lemon together are so fresh, it works so well with the chickpeas and chorizo. I have learnt a tip with chickpeas, once drained I gave the a good rub and then pick off as many skins…
Keema Goat Mince Lettuce Wraps
I really wanted to try goat and thought mince would be a good introduction. It really took on the spices well and is so lean a bit like venison. This was so delicious and the lettuce leaves made it feel light and fresh. I have a couple of go to stir fried mince recipes from…

Thai Rice Salad with a Crispy Egg
So I had some leftover rice which was cold so I decided to do a rice salad. All I had in the fridge was a few mushrooms, an egg, a sweet baby pepper and a shallot. I decided to go down the Thai route as I had no protein and Thai works really well as…
Roasted Mushroom and Tomato Salad with a Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
Sometimes it’s nice to have a vegetarian day. I usually pan fry my mushrooms but I decided to give it a go at roasting them as I was roasting my tomatoes anyway. They were yummy. Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes are a match made in heaven and it worked with the mushrooms just as good. This…
