Ready steady cook... well my version of it, husband chose ingredients and I came up with the meal. In my bag: 2 pork shoulder steaks, one lemon, paprika, one green pepper and vegetable couscous... The result. Griddled Pork Steak with Paprika Lemon Butter and green pepper stuffed with cous cous. Delicious 😋

Discovered corn taco 🌮 shells at the back of my cupocard. I’ve been craving a cheeky tex-mex takeaway so I decided to try to recreate at home. 🧅 🥩 🍅 🌶 onions, steak mince, tomatoes, red and green peppers, black beans, chilli, cumin, a little chipottle and then bubble on a low and slow heat until thickened. Heat the taco shells, shred the lettuce and serve with grated cheese 🧀 and sour cream. 😋

Yesterday was all about what was in the freezer and what needed using up...

70s Inspired Starter... can’t go wrong with a prawn 🍤 cocktail 🥗 with a few very ripe cherry tomatoes 🍅 to finish off... a sprinkle of paprika for the final flourish! Then it was what to do with the last of a bag of potatoes 🥔 so crispy diced potatoes served with the last of the broccoli 🥦 and to liven it up... charred chicken marinated in honey 🍯 and lemon 🍋

Are you a food lover? Keen home cook? Looking for ideas and inspiration? Time on your hands? Random ingredients in your kitchen? Then this is the place for you. Admittedly a rather strange time to start a very humble food blog, but an unexpected period of time at home, plus limited access to certain ingredients got me thinking... and the idea of Lock-down lunches and stay at home suppers was born! Each day I will aim to post ideas and recipes born out of being inside!
