Some Food

Well, bloggy peeps, another year is well underway, another chance to eat well, work hard and play.   I've been warming up the cold, frosty days  with lots of stews, soups and broths as well as a few salads and cakes because lets face it, everyone needs cake in their life
!.    
 Lemon Chicken Stew
 When I first made this, it looked wonderful but didn't taste so great; I went against my instinct and stuck to the recipe.   I realise now, my instinct is probably pretty good when it comes to food and although I should probably act on it, I have been surprised before.   I remade it by marinading the chicken in lemon, ginger, thyme, sesame oil and olive oil with a tiny bit of chilli and lots of salt and pepper.  The full recipe to follow.

 Patatas Bravas with Chorizo....mmmmm.

 Helen's Samosas
 Coming up this week: Haggis Samosas!   

 Scallop Salad...a wee bit of sunshine amidst the stews

 Biryani

 Will's Cheeseburger Cakes!   Yup, cake....very clever and tasty.

 Brooklyn Blackout Cake filled with cream and berries, covered in Nutella Icing

 Grandpa's Steak Pie!

Hee, I love the cake burgers! Is it just yellow/vanilla cake outside with a slice of chocolate inside? And then icing condiments?

There is an appalling lack of haggis samosas in my life. I feel I should do something about that :-)

I love experimenting with new recipes, but with a busy schedule and frequent dr appointment, I don't always have the time or energy to cook. That's why I appreciate quick and easy meals like smoothie bowls and salads that I can prepare in advance. It's a relief knowing I have healthy options to fuel my body between appointments.
