Things I've been creating and munching:

This was an unusual breakfast for me one morning. Black coffee, like always, but with raw smoked salmon on little delicious cocktail blinis.  

This was lunch out with one of my best friends. We went to a French restaurant and I had a fantastic fish soup whilst she had a savory buckwheat crepe.


This came with my soup, it was really tasty.

This was the best bit of the meal. I had orange zest on my crepe, it was SO GOOD, I almost wept.

Roast chicken with peppers, a cherry tomato and spinach salad, peppered green beans and red onion and mustard potatoes.

Nachos - chicken, mixed peppers and sweetcorn, two kinds of cheese, cool and chilli Doritos, salsa and sour cream. 

Vegetable soup!

Chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip and fudge muffins and white chocolate and raspberry muffins. 

Prep for a pork stew!

This is an unclear photo, but I made a roast dinner with chicken, stuffing, mash, peas and corn on the cob.

Cous cous with roast chicken, cherry tomatoes and peas.

Pork stew with a potato topping - before it went in the oven!

Pork stew with a potato topping - after it came out the oven!

More nachos! This time with mushrooms.

And homemade chips. :)

A brief break, and a quick update.

I haven't posted on here in a couple months, but I feel I should probably start again. I have terrible focus and I get so keen on an idea (like my food blog) and then quickly forget and move on to the next idea. This is partly down to the fact that it's quite difficult to get followers on here and I'm too impatient. I really feel like I have the busy brain of a bumble bee sometimes!
I think I'll make an effort to update it at least once a week with what I've been making or eating during the past 7 days and then if I remember/feel the desire to post more often, I will do that too.

I am living in Glasgow now and studying Professional Cookery at college, which is smashing. I cook all day in class and then come home full of ideas and spend most evenings cooking up treats for the boys. I've started making soup whenever there's enough veg left over, and I've also started making things like homemade chips, fruit crumbles and now I've learnt how to make pasta, I'm going to start getting creative with that! 


I have a lot of pictures and things to upload now, so please enjoy, comment and give me your ideas and thoughts. 

Peace and love.
