Crockpot Chicken & Bacon Chowder

It’s very rich, but keeps well

So yesterday the crockpot tried to kill me.

Red Onion & Cheddar Cheese Parsnip Gratin

have seconds. You won’t regret it

This is buttery carb heaven at its finest.

Cardamom Chocolate Cream Pudding

according to my brother-in-law, I’m “right on trend” by putting cardamom in my desserts. So that’s good.

I’m not going to sugar coat it (which is ironic because I’m a food blogger and normally I’d love a bit of sugar coating), this pudding cannot be called diet friendly.

Peppermint Eggnog

I like to serve my ‘nog with Christmas cookies (the recipe for those will be up next week)

I’ve done my happy dance in the supermarket twice now.

Mixed Seafood Chowder

I love soup bowls that double as mugs. One of life’s little pleasures

There’s been a lot of debate lately about the safety of fish (I’ve even been guilty of a bit of fear-mongering myself) what with Fukushima still pumping radiation into the Pacific ocean at an alarming rate.

Chicken Tarragon

pesky dragons and their worts

So apparently tarragon is also known as ‘dragon’s wort‘.

I can understand why it prefers to be known as tarragon.

Simple Chocolate Sauce

simples!

Sometimes a girl (and occasionally her guy) just needs chocolate.

Lemon and Dill Salmon

fresh, light and healthy

Salmon is a pretty hearty fish so it needs something piquant to balance out its robust character.

Chai Chocolate Pots

these contain raw eggs so if you’re preggers you might want to skip them (sorry)

There is a cupboard in our house where teabags go to die.

Spring Greens & Pea Soup

see that green? that means it’s bursting with delicious antioxidants

Tis the season of leafy greens.
