The Meat Eater looked at his plate and said ‘this looks suspiciously vegan’. Huh? It was covered with cheese and not the slightest bit vegan. The boy is paranoid. It’s a recipe adapted from Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian. The only bit I adapted was where she uses wholemeal auelli;Continue Reading
A friend on Facebook mentioned he’d had a spinach and cheese muffin. I’d never heard of a spinach and cheese muffin but I love spinach and I love cheese and I especially love them together so I trawled the internet for a recipe. I found this one at Uma’s KitchenContinue Reading
Someone on Twitter last night tweeted she’d seen an advert for frozen baked potatoes. ‘WTF’, she said, ‘get a potato and put it in the oven/microwave’. Personally, I think anyone who puts a raw potato in the microwave to bake doesn’t deserve to have a potato in the first placeContinue Reading
The Meat Eater’s away and I pondered what to have for dinner. I had planned to have a tortilla pizza but it rained all afternoon and I didn’t fancy cycling in the rain to the farm shop to buy mushrooms. That meant the toppings on my tortilla pizza would consistContinue Reading
Truckle Cheese Co’s Oak Smoked Cheddar is naturally smoked over oakwood chips and made from milk produced on West Country farms. I had some today in a sandwich, along with cucumber, tomato, sprouts and mayonnaise. The deep oak flavour of the cheese went beautifully with the fresh, crispness of theContinue Reading
I’ve made this a couple of times and I’ve obviously been in a hurry to eat it before photographing it, as it’s not on my blog already. I love cannelloni but gave up trying to stuff those tubes years ago and I find using fresh lasagne isn’t the same. ThisContinue Reading
I had a few dilemmas with this. Were black-eyed beans the same as black-eyed peas, as that’s all I could find in the supermarket? After a bit of a Google, I decided they were. Then, the recipe called for 350g of dried peas/beans. Fine, I weighed out 350g of beansContinue Reading
This was more of an onion and cheese pie, than cheese and onion, as although there was a ton of cheese in it, it must have dissolved, as it didn’t come out very cheesy. Still, it tasted good, and it was quick, cheap and easy to make. Cheese and onionContinue Reading
I love gimmicks. I saw this Princes Baked Bean Sandwich Filling on the shelf in Sainsbury’s and as it was only 39p – despite The Meat Eater’s protestations – thought I’d give it a go. It’s made of baked beans (you’d guessed that though, hadn’t you?), red peppers and redContinue Reading
If you pretend this isn’t smothered in cheese sauce and just focus on the cabbage and leek bit, this is a healthy side dish. Although, as it’s only a side dish, a bit of cheese is hardly going to sabotage any healthy eating thing you’ve got going on at theContinue Reading
