SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY 

After a week that was a total washout… I had flu and apart from topping up on fluids was banned from the kitchen. Back in the kitchen last night and made this. I got the recipe from Cranble.com and thought it was a great low carb recipe, apart from the fact that it reminded me…

COFFEE TIME

Thinking this will be part of breakfast tomorrow morning. Yes I know it’s Autumn but I love iced coffee any time of year. It’s just a much more pleasant version of my usual coffee “Teachers Coffee” which can also be called “Mums Coffee” or just plain cold coffee. ICED COFFEE 180-250 ml/3/4-1 cup chilled coffee…

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

My partner lamented not having Yorkshire pudding with their Sunday dinner so I tried these today with some leftover Goulash I am now very much in their good books. The original recipe used Cassava Flour and I have substituted that with arrowroot powder, I also used lard which is more traditional. They do deflate a…

AUTUMN COMFORT FOOD

With Autumn making it a bit chillier we need food that wraps us up. This is not a traditional Goulash but my version. In the picture I used minced/ground beef but you could used cubed beef, whatever you have. Most of what is in this dish is stuff you would have in your store cupboard/fridge/freezer…

Fat Head Dough Ingredients • 170g grated mozzarella • 85g ground almonds • 2 tbsp cream cheese (full fat) • 1…

COFFEE SOMETIMES JUST NEEDS A BISCUIT/COOKIE

Sunday morning cup of coffee just begs for a biscuit(cookie) and these have the flavour of the coconut macaroons my mum used to buy for Sunday tea. With just 1.3g carbs each one makes them a great treat I think, also great for a packed lunches for children and allowable in UK schools as they…

A MEAL IN ONE PAN

I did a version of this that was cooked in the oven, this recipe is done stove top and is ready really quickly. And yes I know its another Greek style recipe but I feel its more a general Mediterranean dish. In the picture i forgot to put the olives on… DOH! Mediterranean Chicken In…

Keto Foccacia

When i was teaching I used to dread the Bread part of the curriculum, everything took so long and there was never enough time to do it all in one lesson. The thing I used to dread most though was the naming bread lesson because when we came to Focaccia the boys would never say…
