Potato Curry

A really simple curry made with potato, tomato, mushroom and stuff like that.
Yummy served with rice and grated carrot.
Tastes nicer than it looks, I promise! :)

A super quick, healthy, yummy dinner...

For One:
however much pasta you want
hanful of mushrooms
1 garlic clove
1 beaten egg
bit of olive oil

Cook the pasta in boiling water and cook the mushrooms and garlic in the olive oil. Add a pinch of dried basil if you wish.
Drain the pasta in a colander, then return to the hot pan. Stir in the mushrooms and sling in the egg, stirring to coat the pasta. Season and serve.

What I had for lunch...

A grilled ham and cheese sandwich is a brilliant weekend lunch.

We're big on homegrown stuff...


Just some of last year's produce.

I've got my seeds ready to plant in March...  Radish, courgette, aubergine, pepper, spring onion, chilli pepper, basil, pumpkin, peas, spinach... It's going to be great!

Great Winter Meals #2

Soup with cheese on toast is one of the yummiest things to have in Autumn and Winter.  No matter what vegetables you've got hanging around, you can make a delicious soup in half an hour. Cheese on toast compliments it perfectly - Cheddar is great, but if you're feeling fancy try something like Wensleydale. Mmmmm.

I think that's a carrot soup in the picture.

Love carrot cake? Love whoopie pies??

These carrot cake whoopie pies are delicious!

Mixed Vegetable Pasta

Heat a little olive oil and a little butter in a wok, then take the above ingredients (or similar) and chuck them in.
Add herbs such as basil and season with black pepper.

Meanwhile, cook some dried pasta (or make your own from scratch if you've got the time!) in a pan.

Mix the veg with the pasta, and add a sprinkling of grated parmesan. Great served with fresh watercress and garlic bread.
