Leek, Herbs And Spelt Flour Quiche

Garlic Mustard Breaded Chicken Strips

My kids can eat breaded chicken and chicken nuggets or fingers on any given day, all day, everyday. But me? After 2 weekends in a row I kind of get tired of frying chicken. Not that I don’t like it, because I do, but sometimes it just seems too boring. Same flavor, same texture, same […]

(Since really, there is no other option). So […]

Breaded Baked Sole Fillets – Inspired by Gwenyth Paltrow

I was planning on making pasta for supper, honestly. But then I remembered the lonely mashed potato leftovers in the fridge, and leftovers or not I LOVE mashed potatoes. I can have them with an omelet, sour cream, cheese, chicken, veggies and just basically with anything. Whenever I want food that makes me feel comfort […]
