This miserable, dreary Friday evening we've a
very simple, but utterly satisfying dish to share.
Perfect for lunch in a rush, or a tired last-minute supper, this recipe is both easy and cheap, a perfect combination in our house!
Much like red wine, early nights and broccoli, a taste for blue...

We’ve been soup-ing it recently in the evenings, as despite the supposedly spring season, we’ve been battling hail rain and snow in Ireland in the last couple of weeks.
However, there’s only so much mushroom / tomato / French Onion Soup one family can have, so we’re trying to branch...

This dish was inspired by Ikea.
Now there’s a line you don’t read very often.

I

Yep, this is a makey-uppy recipe. No professionals were involved in the making of this food. No websites to link, no posh ingredients and definitely no proper measurements.
Furthermore, as your eyes wander down to the photographs, I know it’s overcooked. You might ask why?

A little while ago I went on holidays. Yep, the first holiday longer than four days in three years, so we said we’d be a little adventurous. However, needless to say our budget and our aspirations were very far away from each other.
Into the breach stepped @Gastromama, who is...
