Tuna, bean and couscous salad
Posted by HHHAdmin on Feb 21, 2012 in Salad | 0 comments
This might be a bit more of a summery dish, but why not make it, have an indoor picnic and pretend it is warmer outside than it is. Or, if you are lucky enough to be somewhere warm right now, have a BBQ and make this the star salad! Despite it being winter, I make up a big batch of this on a Sunday and then have some of...
Turkey Chili
Posted by HHHAdmin on Feb 9, 2012 in Mexican | 3 comments
This is such a quick and easy meal. It doesn’t take long to prepare and then you can throw everything into the pan and let it cook away. The decision to put a cinnamon stick into it was a good one I think. Using turkey makes it a healthier choice than the usual beef mince that is used in chili. Ingredients: - 1 pack of...

When you have a cold or flu, you crave something comforting and this is the soup to hit the spot. It is filling, warming and is said to have healing properties – not just mine (although, it is THAT good), but chicken noodle soup in general. Serves 2 Ingredients: - 1 litre of homemade chicken stock – 1...
Chicken Stock
Posted by HHHAdmin on Feb 6, 2012 in Soup | 0 comments
Having been a vegetarian for 10 years, I wasn’t very experienced with using up every bit of the chicken. I still cooked meat, but wouldn’t carve the chicken unless I had to and then the carcass would go straight in the bin – I now realise what a waste that was. There is so much flavour in the bones and not only...
Flourless Chocolate Brownie

Right, stick with me here. I have always been experimenting with a healthy brownie, as I love brownies so much. I made these no bake brownies, but I wanted something with a bit more of a brownie consistency. I have been reading up a lot about using beans in cooking. There, I said it. BEANS!! Please don’t stop...
Slow Cooked Baked Beans
Posted by HHHAdmin on Feb 3, 2012 in Breakfast, Casserole | 2 comments
If you have ever been a student, baked beans would have been a staple in your diet. Whether on a jacket potato, in a toastie or used to bulk out a casserole/shepherds pie because you can’t afford meat, they are definitely versatile. Another thing that makes them appealing, is they are cheap. The only problem is,...

This was a recipe I came up with over Christmas. I realise that the festive season is well and truly over now, but it is never too late to have cinnamon baked goods. It’s the weekend, so it is time for a treat – I shall be making these and pretending it is Christmas again! Serves 6 Ingredients: Rolls: - 7g...

Have another slow cooker recipe for you here. Even thought it is winter, it doesn’t mean you can’t fill your kitchen with the smells of the warm Mediterranean with this Spanish dish. It’s really fragrant and light, but hearty at the same time, so it is perfect for Winter and Summer and tastes great cold...
