Greek Yogurt Honey And Mustard Dressing

April 19, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

I'm not a fan of having a large array of condiments in the fridge. Firstly because my fridge is so small I cannot afford to take up that much space with irregularly used items. But also so many of them go to waste. Agree? Disagree? Have a think about your own condiment collection - or one you have had (I have been there believe me). As you walk the ...

Date And Bran Loaf Recipe

Let me share a bran loaf recipe this Food Waste Friday... Time for a little story... ...the strangest thing happened this week. This blog shared a link to Facebook of a bran loaf recipe I published over 5 years ago. Why strange? Well for 2 reasons: It did it without me being involved at all I was talking about the recipe just a few days ...

Salmon And Sweet Potato Fish Cakes Recipe

Here's a super simple salmon and sweet potato fish cakes recipe that has rescued me from my non-existent meal-planning this week. Monday is the day when the internet comes alive with posts and tags about Meal Plan Monday. I don't do a Meal Plan Monday post. I don't meal plan on a Monday, but on a Friday. Well usually I do, but my Friday routine went ...

How To Make Pizza Vita

Regular readers will know I rarely post on a Saturday, but as I missed my weekly Food Waste Friday slot yesterday I just had to check in. Now you may be wondering why when I had promised a Food Waste Friday linky every week, I didn't honour my word. Too much of this I'd say: We spent the day at a trampoline park and then at the local Bella ...

Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

February 22, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

sweet and sour chicken with noodles

It's been a while in the coming, but this is a sweet and sour chicken recipe worth waiting for. I guarantee it. There is never one mouthful left at the end of dinner when this dish is served. Us Wright's like our traditions, and one that began to develop was one of having a Chinese take-away on a Friday evening. It was starting to get a little ...

Spicy Sweet Potato Slow Cooked Soup

January 18, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

Best Food Save - Soup

Today's recipe was inspired by the sweet potatoes I found in my store-cupboard on Friday. You may have seen my Food Waste Friday post talking about waging a war on waste? I promised to post my No Waste Tastes Great recipe that I planned to rustle up to ensure the sweet potatoes did not go to waste. The idea had been to make a slightly different soup, but I ...

Donald Russell Lamb Casserole Recipe

December 2, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

We've been eating a lot of poultry at Chez Wright. As a choice of meat it definitely has been top of the list recently. But we were getting bored of chicken stew! Then serendipity struck. I'd received an e-mail from Donald Russell (the online butcher) introducing themselves. After serendipity, inspiration struck. Their website has a variety ...

September 19, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

It's time for dessert Guys. You may know, if you read my how to make pesto and/or pancetta, butternut & mushroom fusilli recipe posts, that I am entering a competition run by Grana Padano. This is the last recipe, as part of that competition, although either tomorrow (or probably Monday now) there will be a round up of my inspiration behind the ...
