Summer Salad

The weather had been decidedly summery all week (not that I’ve seen much of it stuck in bed) so I thought I would make a nice big salad for dinner tonight with all my favourite ingredients. My flu is getting a little better every day so I hope the good weather will continue so I can enjoy a couple of days of sunshine before I’m off to Belgium on Wednesday.

So Much for Spring… My mum’s recipe for Chicken and Rice Soup

The past two weekend’s we’ve had beautiful sunshine and temperatures of 24°C. Today it’s freezing cold and we had snow!! I long for this winter to finally end but in the mean time there is nothing left to do but make chicken soup as some small comfort for the soul…

This recipe is very simple and very tasty.

Thai style Chicken, Prawn and Glass Noodle Soup

I had lots of bits and pieces in the fridge this afternoon which needed to be used up or go in the bin so I came up with this warming soup. The most time consuming part of this was the preparation of all the meat and veg but one that was done the cooking time only took about 10 minutes (enough time for the noodles to be cooked through and the chicken to be done).

Thanks to Lindy over at Toast for hosting the Something Out of Nothing event to which I submitted this recipe.
