Veggie Chilli

    I’ve been awol again! Life has been so busy these last few weeks but it’s been all nice things happening. Work is busy and I’ve had lots of lovely family days with two communions to go to. At these times my blog has to take a back seat, but I’ve been itching to share […]

Chicken Chasseur

The meat we eat most often here is chicken, which is probably already very obvious.
