It's possible a week of eating home made Egg McMuffins every day for breakfast is not healthiest way forward, but it was enjoyable. I've mixed it up this week with some slightly mutant ' Breakfast Burrito Bites ' - Mine were tasty, but not as pretty, although I might try a different muffin pan or invest in a silicone one (and when I mean invest, they'll be in Home Bargain / Poundland next time I'm that way) - I almost made them in silicone cup cake cases and decided at the last minuet not to, and since they got stuck on the muffin tin they don't look as pretty as they could do. Anyway, reheated in work's microwave they were super tasty - even if some of the lurid green salsa I brought back from Mexico looked a little unappealing in the morning light. It seems everyone's getting into the make ahead vibe, The Guardian has a  new series of ' get ahead ' articles. I tried a different tact with my shopping this week - not planning quite so much an...

 I've realised now why I was so keen to cook meat while Pete was away, it's less to do with the meat, and more to do with reinvigorating my cooking. The busier we've got, the more in a rutt it's become. Bar the roast chicken, everything I've done so far I'm trying to work out how I could adapt for a vegetarian diet. I think I've tried to do the cannellini beans and chorizo with cod (Nigella suggests this as an alternative) and fake chorizo but as so often with meat substitutes, they don't have the fat to carry it off. But I've got some nice ideas about replacing the chorizo with slow cooked peppers in smoked paprika, or maybe chargrilled sweet ones - they would work too. What I have made are  copy cat egg McMuffins  to take to work - my bowl of cereal didn't quite cut it for me this morning - now I love McDonald's breakfast sausage, and I've never understood why you can only really get it in Scotland (ironically where Pete is on tour) - s...

I love making breakfasts, and above all I love making pancakes. I leave hearty buckwheat creeps or delicate pancake day pancakes to Pete, my domain is big thick American ones. Now, I've perfected my American pancake method, afteer trying a few I've settled on a method taken from a now very batter splattered recipe in a Jamie over cookbook. I did have my eyes opened a little with the pancake laboratory section of a cookbook my friend brought me, partly I thin because eh knew I loved pancakes, and armed with the knowledge that things like the milk can be replaced with fruit juices and it still walks. Handy if you have a lactose intolerant house mate. Anyway, you'd think being armed with all of this knowledge I'd know better then to trust a slightly confusing recipe for pineapple upside down pancakes (to make good use of the pineapple corer I got for my birthday) that involves banana in the mix.
