Posie’s Place

I got my latest scan today, Stewart came along with me and right on queue baby put on a show for his/her dad to see. The doctor was really pleased that the scans were coming out so clearly that she took 6 captures for us and the most amazing close-up of our baby’s profile and I’m so pleased that I thought I would share it with you.

Sorry I haven’t been cooking and sharing recipes but I’m still really exhausted so trying to find the motivation to spend any length of time preparing anything other than salads isn’t easy. As I said before normal service should hopefully be resumed shortly.

I really love making burgers and I’m always up for trying new recipes. A couple of weeks ago when we were back in Glasgow I picked up a couple of new gadgets from Lakeland. Lakeland is the most amazing homewares company and the great news is that they deliver overseas!!!

My new gadgets were a burger maker and a quarterpounder press. Here is how I put the my burgerpress to good use… It’s similar to a previous recipe but still a work in progress in my never ending journey to find the perfect burger recipe.

I can’t resist a bargain at the supermarket and this is the reason that my freezer usually ends up looking like a 3D jigsaw puzzle.

It’s just as well for me that my hubby is an expert at Tetris!

A couple of weeks ago the supermarket had a special offer on boneless pork steaks, I adore pork but Stewart doesn’t like it so I don’t usually cook it very often.

I decided to take advantage of the special offer and buy a pack of pork and stashed it away in the freezer until I was inspired to come up with a new creation.

Well today was that very day! My cravings seem to consist of absolutely anything sweet at the moment and I as I said in a comment yesterday I could eat my own body weight in haribo and chocolate, I hoped that buy adding sweetcorn and carrots to this Mexican influenced stew that it would be a healthy way to beat those unhealthy cravings for something sweet.

Here’s hoping…

Stewart had a real hankering for pizza the other night and so picked up the various bits and pieces we needed. Since we were watching the footie last night there was no chance to have pizzas so we decided that tonight was the night.

These pizzas aren’t completely home made but show that with the right shop bought items a fantastic, quick and easy dinner can be put together and on the table in less than 20 minutes!

Here is what we did for our *cough* ‘Home made pizzas’.

As many of my regular readers may have noticed the frequency of my posts lately has waned.

I haven’t had much of an appetite recently and have had absolutely no motivation to cook the reason for this is very simple..

I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant with our first child! Everything is going well and we’re both delighted.

We were back in Glasgow last weekend to share the news with family and friends there and now that we’ve had time to let all of our friends know I thought I would share the happy news with you too my dear readers.

Have no fear the main focus of this site will remain food but as ever I may share some of my other musings from time to time.

In my posting absence I have been tagged by a couple of my favourite foodies Paz and Rosa for a couple of great meme’s..
