A real winter warming treat


Have you ever spent the day outside in the cold only to come indoors and really fancy something nice and hot to tuck into. If so then try this recipe, lovely served up with Garlic bread.



This recipe serves two and you will need:

2 Chicken breasts
1 Tin of tomato soup
2 Medium onions sliced
3 Garlic cloves sliced
4 Thai dragon chillis
Small tin of baby carrots (we used our homegrown carrots)
1-2 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
25g Butter
150g Cream cheese 
Quarter cup of water
Pepper to taste

Method:

Mix the melted butter, softened cream cheese, soup. water, Italian seasoning and pepper together and stir until blended.
Cut the chicken into strips, put into sauce pan with the onion, garlic and chillis then cover chicken with mixture and carrots then cook slowly on the hob for about an hour or until cooked through.

Alternatively you can add all the ingredients into a slow cooker and set it going for about six hours.
Check that the chicken is cooked all the way through and that the carrots are soft.

Dish it into two bowls and serve it with some nice garlic bread, almost guaranteed to get you feeling toasty on a winters day. 

You can also serve it up with rice or anything else you like.

Spicy Cheese & Bacon Loaf.

If you love cheese and bacon you will love this. It's great served up as a meal or cut up to share at a party. You will need: 1 Baguette                        2cup/8oz/240g cream cheese                        1 red pepper (diced)                        1cup/4oz/120g mozzarella (grated)                        1cup/4oz/120g cheddar cheese (grated)                        1tsp ground pepper                        2tsp hot chilli flakes                        3 packs of bacon/jambon cru First of all you will need to cut the Baguette in half length ways and hollow out the middle. Mix the cheeses, pepper and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stuff both halves of the baguette and place the halves back together again. Wrap the baguette with the bacon or jambon cru. Bake at 180ºc/350ºf/gas mark 4 for approx 25mins  Tina made this for us the other night and it went down a treat. You don't have to use chilli if you are not up to spicy food. We use Jambon cru inst

A tastey Hot Chilli pickle.

  Hopefully this should be good! I found a recipe online for a nice green chilli pickle, all our chillis are red! So this will be loosely based on the recipe I found and it will take a few days to knock up.  For this you will need: 1.5 - 2 cups of chopped green chillis 6 tablespoons of Mustard seeds  3 tablespoons of Rock salt 2 teaspoons of Turmeric powder 1 cup Mustard oil 5 -6 Lemons (1/2 cup of lemon juice) 1 cup = 250ml This should be enough to fill a medium sized jar So as I mentioned before there will be some tweaks. First being with the green chillis. All ours at the moment are red but I don't suppose that matters too much so I added....... Two Numex Big Jims Two Maule Hot Two Satans Kiss One Thai Dragon Also I changed the Rock salt for chunky table salt and when it came to the Mustard seeds I ground Two Tablespoons of seeds and used two Tablespoons of Mustard powder, we shall see how it turns out. So first off cut the chillis into chunks,
