Oops, forgot the chilli. Now chopped and ready to burn

Right.. it doesn't look like much but it's very tasty! Have given the recipe to lots of our friends who all enjoy it. It's not lunchtime yet here, so no plated shot but this is the final product.

Like wise, as we have a big aubergine in fridge waiting for something like this!

My latest favourite high protein snack! Chicken meatballs.

500g chicken or turkey mince
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (I have substituted for almond meal when I'm keto-ing, still very tasty)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
1 egg
Chopped herbs from the garden (I've done chives, parsley and marjoram depending on what is growing the best)
Splash olive oil
Some amount of spices! I use onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne depending on my mood.

Mix together, shape into little balls (I go large grape to small apricot size). Bake for 25ish mins at 200ish degrees.

Yummy as plain snack with mayo and chili sauce. But I also add them to tom yum or laksa soups, or add to zoodle alfredo, into a salad for lunch etc etc etc.

I'm not good at exact measurements or timings, sorry

I think I am going to need to source some parmesan

A super easy, always a fav, never any left over slow cooker beef recipe for todays dinner... but wait... disaster... my slow cooker wouldnt stay on low/program, it kept shutting off and beeping.

But thankfully I had a spare/in the box slow cooker (because I thought the machine was doing weird things/thought it was about to kack itself) and dinner is saved!

If you have a slow cooker - please try this recipe. I acutally put my machine on low for 10hrs because I use the cheapest chuck beef I can buy.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef - The Recipe Critic

Tender pieces of flank steak are slow-cooked in the tastiest sweet and savory sauce. This slow cooker Mongolian beef is melt-in-your-mouth perfection and bursting with flavor. Quick and easy to prepare and one of our favorite slow cooker meals!

We have made this several times. Once in slow cooker and once in pressure cooker. Delicious!

There was a recipe for chicken meatballs in last Tuesdays Good Food lift out, sounds delish and we'll try it next week.

Khao soi chicken meatballs

This midweek mash-up is inspired by the northern Thai noodle soup, khao soi. I've included the recipe for the curry paste here if you feel like making your own (I highly recommend doing this in double batches then having it stashed in the freezer ready to go for whenever the craving strikes)...

Today's lesson for my budding boy chef: Deep dish pizza.

My usual thin&crispy one is currently impossible, as he has braces. I love hiding mushrooms in there, he never notices them!



Also made a batch of double chocolate muffins and a creamy winter vegetable soup with pumpkin/sweet potato and carrot. Straight into the freezer.

Currently simmering a bacon & vegetable soup, but I think this one will be gobbled up by me in one hit once I add the pasta.

Seared scotch fillet with mozzarella, pea and tomato salad

This is ideal for summer dining, with plenty of freshness, flavour and satisfaction, and all for minimal effort. The charred beef against milky fresh mozzarella, young raw peas, sweet tomatoes and fresh herbs is a winning combination. With the shopping done, you can make the salad in the time it...

I’ve had this on high rotation lately. So easy and delicious. I have omitted the tarragon from it - usually don’t mind it but didn’t like it in this dish.

Julia Child’s French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup

There are few things more comforting than making a real French onion soup - slowly cooked, caramelised onions that turn mellow and sweet in a broth laced with white wine and Cognac. The whole thing is finished off with crunchy baked croutons of crusty bread topped with melted, toasted cheese. If...

As requested......

Difficult to make right now, white flour seems to be around but brown or wholemeal is like gold dust. Good luck and enjoy! Here's what it looks like.. when it's nearly gone

Irish Brown Bread (soda bread)
I use an 8 oz cup but a bit bigger is not a problem. If you have measuring cups it's better otherwise just convert it to metric.
1 cups plain flour
2 cups brown flour coarse texture if you can find it but not essential.
1 cup porridge oats
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 tablespoon bread soda
1/2 tablespoon salt
Mix together to blend all dry ingredients.
Add 4 tablespoons olive oil and 1 egg. (If you have a pastry blender it's much easier to mix in to dry ingredients.)
Blend until dry ingredients look like small peas, I add enough buttermilk until all dry ingredients are moist and you have a thick dropping consistency. About 1/4 ltr.
Put dough in a greaseproof lined or greased 1lb tin. I use loaf tin liners. Make sure the dough is well pushed into corners using back of a metal spoon, It will be sticky. Now here is the secret. Wet the back of the spoon with cold water and level the top. This will keep the top moist enough while cooking to rise nicely. If you have a bread making setting on you oven you will get great results bake for 35 mins. Otherwise bake at 220 / gas mark 7 for 35 mins. If you have a dodgy oven you may have to tweak times.

So I made this today. Quite happy with the texture and the flavour but I used more than 250ml of milk.

When you say porridge oats I had just ordinary rolled oats and thought they might be a bit big and tough so I blitzed them in the food processor a bit first.

Do you normally do this in a food processor. I tried it with a dough hook on my Kenwood but that wasn't very successful.

Mrs FB made some more yesterday. When you say you used milk, did you use buttermilk or normal millk?

Oats are just the normal ones, so should be OK without blitzing them.


The oats help to give it texture


Best enjoyed with lashings of butter Note: I've used about 1/4 of what Mrs FB would put on hers!
