Home cooked recipes from a Farmhouse kitchen
This week, I really fancied stuffing with my Sunday dinner but we had none of the packet variety in so I decided to try and make my own. I recently visited the Mornflake factory in Crew. You can read about it here and we had some Oatbran in the cupboard. Being full of a cold and … [Read more…]
It seems stuffed tomatoes have become a bit passé. They maybe out of fashion but I was on the look out for a healthy side dish which would suit the whole family and I really think these fit the bill. They contain 1 Weight Watchers point in each tomato or you can have all four … [Read more…]
Like most people who cook dinner every night, I can get stuck in a rut. Some weeks we eat the same things as we did the week before. Sometimes I forget what I’ve cooked that week and we eat the same meal in the same week. Actually, when I’d just had Baby G, we ate … [Read more…]

Today’s offering is to try and pick me up as I am still feeling low and lethargic from the caesarean so my … [Read more…]
