It’s wonderful to be back in the world of blogging!! My first recipe is a nice and simple affair.
This recipe was featured on BBC2’s show Something For The Weekend by Simon Rimmer and was first broadcast on Sunday 8th June.

Mexican
Two Bean Vegetarian Chilli
It’s Friday at last!!! What a long week it’s been, I think the sudden change from high summer and 30°C to Autumn and 15°C has made it seem even longer. My body has spun straight into hibernation mode and all I want to do is eat comfort food and sleep.
Still determined to eat less meat in order to feel better and to help me loose weight I decided to make a nice pot of chilli for dinner tonight and instead of meat I thought I would make it a vegetarian chilli. No meat doesn’t necessarily mean no flavour.
Huervos Rancheros - Ranch Style Eggs
I thought since I have been really good over the past few days (I have been working out on my excercise bike for at least 30 minutes each day) that I would have a treat this morning so after my workout I decided to make some of the leftovers in the fridge to good use and make my own version of Huervos Rancheros or Ranch Style Eggs.
Gareth’s Exceptional Enchiladas!
My best friend Natalie and I can sit talking on the phone for hours talking about food. Natalie is a great cook and so is her boyfriend Gareth. Last year when we were back in Glasgow Natalie and Gareth invited us over for dinner, Gareth said he would cook enchiladas. Natalie had told me that Gareth made exceptional enchiladas so I was really looking forward to trying them. Natalie was absolutely right, they were amazing!!
I hope Gareth thinks I did his recipe justice, I singed the ends of the tortillas slightly but they were still really good!
Quick Turkey Chilli
This is such a simple recipe it’s a real winner. I always have either chicken or turkey in the fridge and there are always peppers, onions and garlic in the fridge and the other bits and pieces can always be found in my store cupboard.
Guacamole Burgers With Spicy Chili Con Queso - Monthly Mingle #3 & WCC #6
UPDATED AUGUST 12 : Click here for the round up of Meeta’s Monthly Mingle #3.
UPDATED AUGUST 10 : Click here for the round up of WCC#7, in which this recipe featured.
It’s that time again - Monthly Mingle #3!! This month Meeta has chosen “Beat The Heat” as the theme.
I spent quite some time scratching my head over this one and then I thought to what is the best way of beating the heat in the kitchen in the summer?? A Barbeque!! With that in mind I turned to my copy of The Great Big Burger Book by Jane Murphy and Liz Yeh Singh in search of a fingerlickin burger recipe and I think I have found one!!
This month’s theme for the Weekend Cookbook Challenge #6 (WCC) is Lucky 7’s and since this great recipe had 7 ingredients I thought it would be perfect to submit!
Turkey Chipotle Enchiladas
I was reading through my new copy of Two Cooks and a Suitcase by Doug Bell and Rhona Robertson trying to decide which recipe to try out first but discovered that many of the recipes involve using dried chiles which I cannot find easily here in Switzerland. If I lived in Glasgow finding these ingredients wouldn’t be a problem since I could go to Lupe Pinto’s deli, therefore I chose a rather simple recipe to begin with. The various salsa and other sauce recipes say that they can be converted into cooking sauces by the addition of chicken stock. This is my adaptation of their chipotle sauce recipe, I added turkey and used it as a filling for enchiladas.
Braised Fajita Turkey Burgers with Fiesta Corn Salsa
Here’s a rather tasty little number from The Great Big Burger Book by Jane Murphy & Liz Yeh Singh.

Weekend Cookbook Challenge #5 - Chicken Fajitas
The theme for Weekend Cookbook Challenge #5 is Celebrating Cinco de Mayo! Thanks once again to Alicat and Sara for hosting this event!
I adore Mexican food and one of my definate favourites is Fajitas, they’re quick to make and utterly delicious.
This fajita recipe is from Hot as Hell by Doug Bell & Rhoda Robertson owners of Lupe Pinto deli with branches in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Hot as Hell is a collection of recipes taken from Doug & Rhoda’s cookbook Two Cooks and a Suitcase.
Lupe Pinto is the most amazing deli, their range of products are second to none. If you live in either Edinburgh or Glasgow I would fully recommend taking a look. The online store will give you an idea of the vast range of items they stock, they will deliver anywhere in the UK but unfortunately not overseas. Continue Reading »
Chicken Quesadillas
To use the guacamole I made today and the fresh corn tortillas I bought yesterday I decided to make some quesadillas. I wasn’t following a recipe, just making it up as I went along, since it turned out really tasty I decided to post it.
