Egg & Alfalfa Salad

sprouts are a raw, live food….which basically makes them super-healthy

Hubs recently dug out his ancient, but still functional, sprouter.

Lemon Basil Herb Paste

you’ll never buy store-bought again. Promise.

My neighbour has a lemon basil plant. The butterflies love it, and so do I.

Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks

set aside the broth to make gravy if you’re feeling adventurous

Now that I’m an adult, Easter is less about”CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST!” and more about “What animal should I cook for dinner?”

Garlic Mushroom Soup

particularly good if you’ve a cold/flu

There was a time, when we were young, that my brother and I shared a house.

Classic Crockpot Chili

 

I’d serve avocado with everything if Hubs would let me

They tell me spring has sprung but I was in Canada recently and Ontario has not got that message.

Crockpot African Lamb & Peanut Stew

creamy, nutty, good

Peanuts aren’t actually nuts, they’re legumes. So if you’re avoiding legumes for any reason I’d suggest using sunflower seed butter.

Tapenade

I eat mine with celery sticks. Don’t judge me.

I thought Tapenade was Greek, which just shows the depth of my culinary ignorance because it’s actually from Provencal.

Cheese & Garlic Naan

way better than boring old rice

You know that moment where you smell something delicious and think: “Damn! Whatever the neighbours are cooking, I want me some.”

Slow Cooker Chicken Masala

I ate the leftovers for breakfast. That’s not weird…right?!

If you don’t have a slow cooker, I have a quickie version of this recipe which is a good weeknight staple.

Garlic Balsamic Lamb Chops

beware – it spatters hot fat

Hubs came back from the wholesalers last week with a mountain of thinly-sliced, New Zealand lamb chops (I hope!*).
