Using up: veg As stated last week, we are over-vegged, and need to use it up before we go away for the long weekend that’s coming up. So, on Friday night, I chopped up four red peppers, two onions, several mushrooms, and four (I think) courgettes. These were sautéd down in my huge shallow Circulon…

off on holiday
So you won’t see anything about me using stuff up for a week or so – someone *else* is going to cook for us, for a change. Last night’s supper, which I forgot to photograph, was thus (really scraping the back ofr the fridge): 1 red onion chopped, added to the frying pan with a…
pasta bake with red pepper
Using up: a red pepper, mozzarella We’re off for a week’s holiday on Friday (hurrah!), so meals this week are going to be quite odd, I suspect 🙂 Here’s one of our standby meals; we eat this kind of thing often. Cut one red pepper in half, remove the seeds and pith, cut into thin…
pasta with butternut squash and feta
Using up: the other half of the feta, the other half of the squash, a lone rasher of bacon Peeled the squash and cut it into cubes. Chopped an onion roughly, ditto some garlic, and a rasher of back bacon. All in a frying pan with some olive oil, and some oregano from our herb…
a quick supper
We’re working very hard at the moment, and don’t have a lot of time to cook, but that doesn’t mean we don’t cook! Last night was pasta bake with courgettes and tomatoes, which is as quick as it gets, and utterly gorgeous.
pasta with cauliflower, broccoli and blue cheese
I love “bitsa” cooking – just open the fridge and see what needs eating. And last night, what needed eating was some veg and some cheese. This was ridiculously quick and easy. Divide the broccoli and cauliflower into smallish florets. Put them in a pan with a couple of inches of water and salt, bring…
simple food
The other night, Pete and I both had to be out of the house at 7.15. This is early for us – we don’t normally eat until about 8 p.m. And we forgot to get anything out of the freezer, and didn’t stop work till about 6.30. So, one big pot of penne pasta. When…
dude! where's the cheese?
Bought some nice fresh basil at the weekend. This week is busy, busy, busy with deadlines, and we’re both tired. So we decided to have a simple supper last night – pasta with mozarella, olive oil, and the aforementioned basil. The discussion was had about what sort of pasta – we plumped for standard spaghetti…
red pepper and feta pasta
Quick, easy and delicious Sauté a chopped onion and a few cloves of garlic in some good olive oil. Add half a jar of grilled red peppers from Lidl (these are utterly gorgeous), sliced up. When the pasta is done, drain, add some cubes of feta and the vegetable mess.
