Happy New Year to one and all on Food Lovers!
The post-Christmas period is a good time to start afresh on new recipe ideas for the family.
I have thankfully used up all the "Christmassy" food, save for the odd mince pie, which I eat year round anyway, so I am getting well and truly stuck in on the new eats in January.
I realised over the Yuletide, that I eat far less meat than I used to, and found having a 6 kilo turkey and enormous ham a bit of a challenge to get through, despite the usual stream of visitors.
Today has been a bit of a mop up on the food front, and Eve and I are using up our remaining supplies before the shops open again tomorrow.
She has just treated me to a cheese omelette with noodles doused in balsamic vinegar and cheddar cheese - quite an unusual combo, but it was rather tasty!
I think I am going to concoct a Stilton and Potato Soup for supper, and use up our pain au maïs as toasted croutons - never, ever waste anything if possible - so many people in the world go hungry.
So, if you are a member, please start posting what's happening on your foodie home front, and if you are not, please join us!
Best wishes
Helen
