This blog was 10 years old last month and it completely passed me by! Stunned I’ve managed to keep it going this long to be honest. I don’t think people even read food blogs anymore and a lot of my favourite bloggers have stopped publishing new recipes. But as I’m not a video type person […]
This recipe is on high rotation in our house so I thought it deserved a post. It’s so tasty and we both love it. I’ve said before I like tomato sauces with pasta, himself likes creamy sauces. I love this very simple Tomato Sauce with Butter but himself wanted something with more body. So this […]

Two posts in one week! Don’t worry, I don’t plan to make a habit of this. I just wanted to post this before the Bank Holiday weekend in case anyone is planning a barbecue. This would be a great salad to serve with it. Let’s face it, people expect more than burnt burgers and sausages […]
