It has been three months since we told you about our new venture to 'grow our own' on a small allotment space we have been given. This past week has seen us harvesting produce that has matured, learning a lot about what not to do and freeing up space for some more seeds to grow.
We love Cottage Pie but get tired of the long time it takes to put together sometimes or the lack of ingredients we have available, so to make it easy we are sharing our super quick, ingredients in the cupboard, recipe. These were made before work in 30 minutes, ready to heat and eat when we get home tonight. Great for the fussy eaters who pick out all the vegetables. If you have more time you can blend veg in to 'hide' in the sauce.
Miracle footballer Fabrice Muamba and his wife, Shauna, will be launching Mrs Muamba's Caribbean cooking sauces at Booths MediaCityUK on Wednesday 23rd July.

Our Pick of the Day today has got to be Lucy's Dressings. For the 'Great Golden' alone Lucy wins hands down - and her other taste creations will have your tastebuds in a jive in no time too. Lucy's Dressings were inspired in a rather busy family kitchen, using Lucy's own unique recipes. Having handpicked the finest quality ingredients, the dressings have been lovingly created to dress, marinate or roast delicious local produce.
If, like us, you get stuck with the same meals over and again through lack of time or imagination then hopefully this easy recipe will help you out. Having never tried making tacos we cheated slightly and popped along to our local Waitrose for an Old El Paso Taco Kit - and added it to the great ingredients we already had, as an alternative choice for minced beef.
Being on a FODMAP diet is no fun - not even at this year's Allergy & FreeFrom Show, Olympia, where a vast amount of the food either contained soya, coconut or dates. So, as I walked around with a very rumbling tum, while my wonderful food editor, Sarah, sampled all the delights on offer, I can assure you it was with great personal delight that I stopped at the Soft Sage stand.
