Another cool birthday cake from girlfriend.

Homemade Chorizo and Pesto Chicken Pizza

Added chilli, basil and oregano to the dough for a spicy base. Tinned tomatoes, puree, chilli flakes and garlic salt for the sauce, and roasted some chicken before slicing and adding some pesto to the mix.

Slow Cooked Beef & Ale Stew with dumplings.

The main advantage to a slow cooker is that you can make enough of one recipe to last a couple of weeks if you freeze it, which is why I’ve got another photo of this from a few days ago. Don’t worry, we waited a week before having the same meal again.

Stuffed Butternut Squash

Scooping out the inside of a squash with an ice scream scoop isn’t much fun but the resulting meal was worth it.

Served with a grilled pork steak.

Slow cooked Beef & Ale stew with dumplings.

Roast Breast of Lamb with honey carrots and roast potatoes.

The lamb looks nice but tastes pretty bad because it’s about 80% fat.

It did make a nice gravy though, as you can see it is in a milk jug because we don’t own a gravy boat. ha.

Chilli and honey chicken with crushed baby potatoes topped with a carrot purée.

F1 Birthday cake! Woo yay!

My lovely girlfriend made this for me.

:-D

I’m 25…

Eggs baked in tomatoes served with a toasted muffin.

This was originally breakfast dish until we added the roasted chicken breast.

Breaded Cod with courgette, carrots and new potatoes.

Even though this was made with plastic packed fish it was so much nicer than the stuff you get in the supermarket freezers. So simple to make as well.

Spiced Chicken & Pork Pie with honey glazed carrots and more mash.

Pork Fillet stuffed with Chillies, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Garlic and Spring Onions and wrapped in Parma Ham. Served with roast potatoes with a light coating of semolina for extra crunchiness.
