Didn’t mean to stay away for so long… Not sure how that happened… Here’s a lovely loaf for a Saturday morning. It rises like a dream and tastes a little like sourdough which is nice – I keep killing my cultures so have just given up on the real thing. Buttermilk Bread 200 ml warm [...]

Roast Chicken and Root Vegetables
Posted in Food, Recipes, tagged eating well, leftovers, roast chicken on November 4, 2011 | 16 Comments »
I’m not generally a creature of habit but in the past few months I’ve been roasting a chicken every single Sunday night. Don’t suppose I need another reason than “roast chicken tastes frickin’ amazing” but there is another reason: leftovers. Free time is not something I have an abundance of right now. Having a big [...]

The days are getting shorter and shorter and shorter and there’s a dusting of snow on the hills over Beauly. Time to get the woolly hats out of their hiding place. There’s a lot of folk around here who aren’t too happy about this but I like my woolly hats and I like cosy nights [...]

Sunday is marathon day. Gulp. I’ve been training for months. But not quite as hard as I could have, perhaps. The longest run I’ve done in preparation is 18 miles. People keep telling me that’s fine: if I can do that in training, I can do the extra 8.1 miles on the actual day. I [...]

Excuse my prolongued absences recently. My head is full of running and working and other non-food/blog related stuff. That might change after next weekend though… Until then, here’s David’s favourite potato dish, at the moment. They’re like a cross between chips and roast potatoes. No bad thing at all! Rosemary Roasties Floury Potatoes Rosemary, chopped [...]

I was saving this barbeque idea until the warm summer weather arrived and now autumn is here. It’s warm somewhere in the world, right? Rosemary & Sweet Potato Parcels Cut the sweet potatoes in to 1.5cm chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Double over some tinfoil, approximately 20cm square, and pop a pile [...]

Settling into a new job and training for a marathon has led to a lot of pasta being eaten in this house lately. One of our favourite dishes at the moment is the following courgette, garlic and chilli pasta. It’s super-easy, super=quick, carb-tastic and (hooray!) helps us use up some of our garden courgettes. Courgette, [...]
Post-Run Smoothie

Today I’m off to run the Nairn Half Marathon. 13 miles is a distance I’ve done a few times now but I always feel a little nervous about running in events beside real runners. I still feel like an impostor runner, for some reason. Why is that??? I mean I move at a pace considerably [...]
