Rekindling the blog

I've let the blog wane recently, mostly I've been catching up on reading in my spare minutes so I've let the blog slide...shame on me, especially as I know I have missed some fantastic meals that I would love to share.  Too late now to cry but I will give a shout out to my latest masterpiece...chicken and 3 chili soup, my husband is in awe of this one its got a kick to it but for our heat tolerance it was just right.  As I forgot to deseed the ancho chilis I knew it would be too high for my children so in the end I did them a separate meal and just went full out on the heat level.  It was a nice change for us :)  Last night I did the old bangers n mash which was a huge hit pared up with my famous bread and butter pudding, yum.  Tonight was have left overs I do believe it's the lentil chili soup with quinoa instead of lentils (really it makes no difference).

I'm slowly becoming a polenta fan as well and honesty prefer it over couscous as it isn't as messy when the girls eat it.  I am also going to be happy when RR goes on her summer break...woman I love her cooking but it's hard to like keep up with new favorites and old ones too!  Then there are still my good old go to recipes as well from childhood, there just never seems enough days in the week to do all this yummy goodness and soon oh so very soon we will be switching up to our summer menus and cooking in the garden yay!
