Apple Slice

Try to stop at one! This apple slice is so more-ish.

Low Fat Christmas Pudding

A lovely moist pudding that is lower in fat than our traditional family pudding.

Pumpkin, Spinach and Mushroom Frittata

Great for picnics or as a snack or light meal!

Although the Impossible Quiche is similar to a frittata, this year was the first time I tried a ‘true’ frittata and I loved it. Of course I've tinkered with the recipe to lower the salt and fat content where I can. 😉

Chicken Stock

Nowadays I tend to use a lot of vegetable stock instead of chicken or beef stock. But sometimes, a chicken stock is nice.

Big Breakfast for Two (or Three or Four ... )

Sunday breakfast is special in our house even for the dogs! It's a break from the weekday routine of cereal or toast (and the tin and dry dog food). Most Sundays I'll cook a big breakfast of poached eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans on toast, and maybe some rindless bacon or salt-reduced ham. If I break a yolk when cracking an egg, the egg becomes part of the dogs' Sunday omelette.

French Toast

Sunday breakfast is special in our house but waking up at 11:00 means ‘breakfast’ has to be quick and easy to make and filling enough to last to an early dinner.

Quick Congee

Quick and easy to make! Warm and fulfilling on a cold night.

Hubby was away on business so I took the opportunity to cook a childhood favourite, quick congee, or as we called it, quick juk. As kids we preferred the quick juk to the ‘real’ juk, which had amongst its ingredients dried bean curd, water chestnuts and red dates. I still prefer the quick juk. It's a versatile dish—I will cook it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sweet Corn Scrambled Eggs

I usually have sweet corn scrambled eggs for a weekend brunch, but it is also my “arrive home at midnight and don't feel like cooking” meal.

Impossible Quiche

If you don't like pastry on your quiches then this recipe is for you.

Sweet Corn Soup

I tend to make this soup when I'm not feeling well. The recipe is quick and so simple - even Hubby can make it!
