Chicken noodle soup

I wished for the weather to be colder a month ago. It was too warm for October I said. This week the cold really hit me, back to wearing gloves just to get into my car in the car park. And it is not even snowing yet in the south of England, unlike the north, which means it is just drizzly, a wet cold with a mist that seems to get through to your bones regardless of how many layers of wool you got on. This is why people put weight on over christmas, it is not the turkey or the chocolates or the mulled wine, it is the constant search for comforting food that will warm up your insides. I have just the thing for you. And it will not add any extra pounds. Chicken noodle soup for one 1 chicken breast 1 tbsp of bouillon vegetable stock 1 tbsp of soy sauce 175g fine rice noodles (ready to work or 65g of raw noodles) 1 small carrot, cut into cubes 1/2 cup of frozen sweetcorn 1/2 cup of kale Handful of finely sliced spring onions 1. Boil water, add bouillon powder, soy sauce and cook chicken breast. After

Banana split with brigadeiro fudge sauce

Things I am loving at the moment: I no longer listen to the radio. Some may think this is a bad thing but in my car I have a very narrow range of stations, mainly consisting of songs that are on the chart playing on a very annoying loop. I downloaded an app called Castbox and have started to explore the world of podcasts. My absolutely favourites are The High Low and Dear Sugar Radio. I can’t get enough of Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond. I want to go out and have a beer with them. Weekends without my phone. It actually died and I didn’t even try to charge it. I forgot about it and it was all good. Re-watching old films that I was too young to understand when I watched it first time around: As Good As it Gets, Donnie Darko and Good Will Hunting eBay. I am planning my sister’s hen do whilst on my night shifts. I am going for a mermaid theme. All the glitter and streamers arrived on time and on point. Condensed milk. I’ve decided that ganache is well over rated as a sauce and that brigadeiro sauce should take the crown.

Recycling Christmas: Spelt and marmalade apple crumble

Merry back to normal. And I am actually glad Christmas is all over. It did not feel like Christmas to me as I was working and then as soon as I got my first day off of the season my immune system gave up. I have never been that ill, can’t-get-out-of-bed ill, the kind that you want to kick yourself for not appreciating all the days you were healthy. Even after what seemed like recovery I did not feel like myself. I decided to get back on track this week and it was hard, had to peel myself off bed to put my running gear on, and quite frankly felt sick and had to stop halfway through. Another thing that I had to tackle was the massive amount of leftovers in my fridge. I had my in-laws over and they brought a very, very generous amount of food. So trying to figure out what to do with it all has been a creative challenge, which I decided to call recycling Christmas! This is for sure the ultimate crumble recipe, and I say this as someone who has made many, many crumbles before and never got the crumble ratios of flour
