You may have spotted that I like soup…..especially, thick “meal-soup” types. Here is my latest recipe. This one is for Chicken Cassoulet Soup. Made 2 ways, a “normal way” and a “healthy” way. You can make either but if, like me, you are TRYING to squeeze into your Christmas party frock, the “healthy” way will […]
Introducing my Chicken Arabiatta Soup Recipe. “Another soup recipe!?”…what can I say, I love making up new soups. I particularly love the “meal-soup” type recipes. They are great for taking to work for lunch, or as a quick meal in the evening! I enjoyed this Chicken Arabiatta Soup so much that I had to share […]

In my quest to find fast but interesting dinners, I’ve recently taken to adding things to baked-beans to make them even more tasty when put on a jacket-potato (or toast I suppose!) I thought I’d share a few of my favourite recipes with you…and whilst I’m at it you might like… My top-tip for speedy […]
