There's a whole-lotta-home-cooking going on at Chez Wright. The UK, and a lot of Planet Earth, have effectively been on lockdown the last few months, which means many of the take-out meals we normally enjoy as a family haven't been available at a click of a finger (or rather 'button'). Apron well and truly back on it was time to take on a firm family ...

How To Make Nail Soup
A bedtime story is the perfect way to end a day. If my mind ever wanders, while sharing a story, I try to bring myself back to the present. I remind myself to be mindful. There may be dishes stacked up downstairs, waiting to be put away, but the Kids' won't want a story from Mom indefinitely. There'll always be more dishes to put away. ...
Meal Planning – As Simple As Salad
We're in a routine here at Chez Wright. Meal-planning is a must. (Learn how I meal-plan here) Meal planning tends to happen Thursday night or Friday morning as part of my No Waste Tastes Great routine. The meal plan is displayed for all to see on the kitchen board. Rarely do I plan the same meals each week (although I concede this may make life ...

Simple Cheese Sauce Recipe
Cheese sauce is something I make weekly. Sometimes multiple times weekly. It is so simple to make and accompanies so many homemade dishes. As second nature as it is for me to rustle cheese sauce up, I have noticed in conversation that not everyone makes their own. Opting for ready-made sauces, or packet sauces that you add water to. It made me think. If ...

Simple Slow Cooked Lasagne Recipe / A Reminder
From time to time it's good to be reminded of why you started doing something. It's easy to forget as your journey progresses. Different paths open up and you head on down them. My blogging journey has, to date, been amazing. I love blogging. Where you are now, reading this, is my virtual home. As real to me as my physical home. It's where my friends come ...
Simple Slow Cooked Christmas Turkey – Controversial?
Before we head on into this post I'd like to get a little something out-of-the-way... There are varying opinions on whether poultry can be safely slow cooked. If you are in any doubt as to whether slow cooking turkey is for you. Don't do it. I slow cook turkey, and have never had any adverse effect. I'm fanatical about food safety and hygiene (have I ever ...
Parmesan Crusted Salmon with Potato Twirls and Asparagus
When I was selected to submit a dish for the #dinewithaldi challenge I wanted to create a recipe that had minimal and simple ingredients. My personal aim was to present an interesting dish, that looked good enough to be served at a dinner-party. But a dish that was easy to prep and all parts could be baked at the same time. I love food, but I hate faff! ...
Super Simple Homemade Chicken Nuggets
What kid doesn't like chicken nuggets? I haven't yet met one that's refused them. (I know there will be children who don't like them, and there will be vegetarians that do not eat them - but I needed a strong first line for this post ;-) so went with a blanket statement) But do you, as the parent, ever wonder what is in the processed ones you buy? It ...
