You can prepare everything but eggs ahead of time. Breakfast Tostadas are not only delicious, but kicked up with spice and topped with cheese, cool crema, and creamy avocados. This week is #BrunchWeek. With all that’s been going on in the world, it’s delayed a little bit. I thought it was before Father’s Day so my recipes are more for the manly brunch, but they’re delicious recipes you could serve anyone! When I think of breakfast or brunch and Father’s Day I think of the Mexican breakfast Dad used to make. It was super simple and easy to make for a quick and delicious breakfast before going yard sale-ing as we used to call it. Or hitting flea...
Saturday was a very productive day. House was partially (finishing up today) power washed, we picked up my new treadmill and put the old one by the road (which was picked up within 10 minutes by someone driving by thankfully), more zinnias planted, a few more flowers planted, and a meal was baked for our friends (just had a heart attack) and made a cold strawberry pie for them too.Peas are starting to roll in. I have enough to saute with some asparagus, and many more on the plants.**Disclaimer – My article contains affiliate links. All products are ones I recommend.

Slowly, slowly some things are getting back to normal. People who like buying new stuff in shops are happy, and I'm sure I saw on the news some even fighting to get in! and many queueing for hours and we're all being encouraged to go out and spend. I shan't say what I think about that.But then a bit of news that was more exciting to me and that's the smaller more local-to-me car boot sale is hoping to re start in July - strict rules and I think it will be very busy because the big Needham Market boot sale is cancelled for the rest of the year.This week was going well. At the weekend I had a socially...
This week brought back so many memories of when Otto was a newborn and I was desperate to get out of the house but we had to be careful because he was pre surgery and in heart failure. The farmers market always felt like (and was) a safe place for us to go. Every Wednesday it would take me at least an hour to pack up all of our crap (meds, clothes, feeding supplies etc) to head out and drive to Holland, MI to soak up a short walk around town before everything opened and to get to the farmers market first thing before crowds starting pouring in.We did that for the first time this summer and it was so...
This courgette, aubergine and asparagus parmigiana was inspired by the left-0over vegetables I had from the glorious ratatouille that I made when filming my instagram live ‘From Chef to Show-Off’ with Steve Bennet, The Lincolnshire Chef. If you haven’t joined us, we’re doing a live cook-along every Monday evening. The premise is that during lockdown we’ve not been able to get to restaurants so Steve, who is a proper fancy chef and runs the incredible Healing Manor and Pig and Whistle Pub near Grimsby, is showing me (and all of us) some of those fancy tricks and tips to achieve restaurant style cooking in our homes. Last Monday we worked with some beautiful eggs from the lovely people at Scamans...
