Books T&Cs apply

nothing beats onion soup with carrots pasta garlic and black pepper

I cook cottage pie, Fish pie, lasagne, spag bol (having tonight for tea), roast dinners, apple pie, sticky toffee pudding and lemon drizzle cake

Vegetable curry.

We love Italian food in our house - home made pizzas, calzones, lasagnes, carbonara...it's always made with love! 😋

Steak and chips

Can't beat a good old Sunday Roast with all the trimmings

Has to be a good old Sunday roast! A favourite of DH & our DC- if I ask them what they want for dinner, they will say this (whatever day of the week!!).

So usually roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots & parsnips, peas, stuffing & gravy.
Pretty simple but very effective!!

I love cooking my for my family by making super healthy delicious, wholesome vegetarian food, that they would otherwise not eat.
I pack atleast 5 portions of fruit and veg into each serving of dinner, and try get a few more into a starter and desert too!
A thai massaman curry made with my own paste and lots of root veggies is a fave!

Home made lasagne of my spicy chilli

Cake.

Or home made curry.

And then cake.

Spaghetti sausage-naise. I buy sausages with caramelised onions in them and slice them up. Fry off lightly and add onions, thin sliced leek, chop up from fresh tomatoes and add garlic, thyme and oregano. Add a tub of passata and tea spoon of sugar.

Serve on wholewheat linguine. All my family love this - it's a sort of homemade recipe and a firm favourite.

If I really feel the love then I'll make a chocolate bailey's cheesecake for pudding. Approx 8.000kcal a slice :o

Lots and lots of cake

In the summer I do a pesto, tomato and spring onion tart and in winter I do toad in the hole with mash and onion gravy

Haggis pie - haggis topped with turnip,then carrots,then cheesy mash

my legendary roast dinners always go down a treat

I like to cook fish pie for my family but have to double the quantity of white sauce because I have eaten most of it before I get chance to pop the parsley in.
Unfortunately I don't get to cook it very often as my family prefer a traditional meat and 7 veg or chicken chilli, cooked in 2 separate pans so one is mild without chilli or tomato seeds and the other is hot and full of seeds.

My son loves my curries, he loves to help with all the chopping and so on while I 'supervise' ... the results are always fab.

Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

Butternut squash risotto. Almost without fail everyone I cook it for loves it. IT works for vegetarians as well as omnivores too. Really, sloppy, easy to eat comfort food that can also be classed as bowl food. For sitting on the sofa watching telly or for a starter for a fancy dinner party.

Homemade soups in soup maker and hot cheese scones!

vegetable lasagne!

A simple dish of Mince and carrots is something I have made all my married life - 40 years!! I got the recipe from a packet of long grain rice from Tesco!!

I do the lion's share of the cooking in our house, and I love trying new recipes and making sure we don't get into a rut of doing the same dishes every week.

This week, I've made pizzas from scratch, last night was a spinach & feta frittata, we had huevos rancheros for breakfast this morning and tonight I'm making lamb kebabs!

But I do love a good old casserole, stew or curry...hmmm I'm off to meal plan for next week now!

ANYTHING THEY ASK FOR

The people I love always get my family recipe chicken soup. It keeps you warm on cold days and makes everything better when you're not well. It's the old staple that everyone wants.
