However you like to spell it, I love the stuff. You can pretty much shove anything inside a bit of filo and it tastes fantastic and looks good.
What else could you do with 300g mince, one serve leftover kale risotto, 1 small bunch kale, 6 Brussel sprouts, starting to look spotty, 1 small carrot, 1 […]

I tend to blitz through most days at a fairly hectic pace. Being forced to slow down by two unwell Ankle Biters and a badly cut finger is pure torture. It’s taken me all day to perform tasks that would normally take half that time.
Just the normal day to day tasks of a mum. Post-vomit […]

Bread and butter pudding is clearly one of those recipes that developed from a need to not waste stale bread. Well bread pudding and bread and butter pudding is a derivative of that. It’s pretty much my favourite winter dessert. One of my favourite things about the bread and butter pud concept though is tht […]

Whilst conducting some research for tonight’s dinner, I discovered that one should NEVER check the meaning of steaming sausage in urban dictionary. Really. Never. Just trust me on this one OK?
Friday night I don’t dig cooking. Friday is cleaning day at Chez KP and often supermarket day as well. Plus swimming lesson day just to […]

Roast dinner tonight. For some reason I decided to make a roast with the world’s smallest piece of meat. I felt justified because I had two little butternut pumpkins which I decided to halve and use as bowls of a sort. Nice chunky little pumpkins with small balls of pips and lots of flesh. Everyone […]

I absolutely had to finish that colcannon tonight. I don’t like the way potato freezes. Plus I have a strange aversion to serving up leftovers in their original state. So I needed an idea that would work well with a potato mash, bearing in mind I made a potato dough with some yesterday.
That left either […]

No idea what is going on at Chez KP at the moment but I have odds and ends of leftovers everywhere. If not strictly leftovers, it’s bits and pieces that need using urgently so as to be wasted. So creativity is required.
Last night I decided to finish some leftover cooked sausages, leftover colcannon, some mushrooms […]

Another old pre-Ankle Biters resurfaced at Chez KP this evening. The baked potato in all it’s awesomeness.
A big old tatie, rubbed with a little oil and baked in a moderate oven for a couple of hours. Then cut her open, season, slip in some butter, some panfried mushrooms and sliced bacon and some grated cheese. […]

So it would have to have no packaging, no transport miles, no manufacturing waste. It can be achieved. OK, so it’s permanent. Fine by me. Also, in our house, it got inflicted on the male so I feel just fine. I’m not completely heartless though, if my husband is willing to get neutered have a […]
