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 ...

How To Make Nail Soup

July 16, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

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. ...

Simple Slow Cooked Broccoli & Stilton Soup Recipe

November 14, 2012 by SimplyBeingMum

This is one of my very favourite soups. Which is surprising, as I really do not like Stilton. One. Little. Bit. The worst part of this recipe, for me, is handling the cheese. I take a deep breath, dive in and work as quickly as I can. For some reason, Stilton works, even for those less keen, in soup. So, if you're a Stilton fan double bonus! Simple Slow ...

Spicy Slow Cooked Carrot, Ginger and Lentil ...
