I have to confess to leaving it far to long since my last post, my laptop charger died on me and I did try to use Hubby’s laptop, but only to discover that I am an Apple Girl through and through and can not cope with anything else ! Also…
Mexican Chorizo and Garlic Prawn Burgers
Now when Hubby declared that this week was going to be ‘Burger Week’ I have to admit to letting out a small groan. Please do not get me wrong, I love a good gourmet burger as much as the next person, but really, a whole week!!! Well day two and…
Smoky Halloumi and Quinoa Salad

Raw Courgette Spaghetti with Lemon, Feta, Pea, Mint and Pea Shoots
