Another breakfast. Going for fast and yummy. I’ve been with a very annoying low grade fever and migraines for 2 days now 😑 and I just needed food! THE FOOD: Wholemeal seeded bread with margarine and homemade mixed berries jam (with chia seeds), apple with peanut butter (always chunky, smooth peanut butter is not peanut butter), and my everyday breakfast drink: coffee with soya milk. Because of the dairy-free marg, this one is vegan. #breakfast #dairyfree #coffee #toast #jam #berryjam #homemadejam #apple #apples #peanutbutter #chunkyistheonlypeanutbutter #weekendbreakfast #food #foodie #instafood #foodagram

My husband had to go to London for a quick work trip and got some yam and chofi (spicy turkey dish from Ghana). We can get yam here in Devon but it’s more expensive. And we haven’t yet come across any place that sells chofi. ☹️ I’ve shown something similar before with the yam. But... it’s one of my favourite things to eat. Even if it takes forever to prep and cook. THE FOOD: Fried yam with spicy tomato sauce, chofi, and a salad with lemon vinaigrette and a lot of celery. There was so much food, we had one massive late lunch and skipped dinner! #yam #punayam #chofi #salad #ghanaianfood #ghanaiancuisine #friedyam #food #foodie #instafood #instafoodie #foodiesofinstagram #homecooked #homecooking #westafricanfood #africanfood #devon #foodstagram #foodagram

I disappeared for almost a month. I keep doing that, don’t I? This time it was because I took to meal prepping for almost the whole month as I’ve been so busy. I mostly ate at the desk and didn’t have time for photos. My mum was here visiting, my daughter was ill, then my son was ill, my husband was ill, and he got a new job with a whole new timetable and it was all an ADJUSTMENT! I’m back to normal cooking now. I really don’t like meal prepping. I was doing 4 different meals and 5 servings of each, plus 20 puddings. It wasn’t hard and it wasn’t boring because there were several meals to choose from. But I missed the actual kitchen time. When I cook I relax. I put some music or ebook or video and get my creative time in. Without that time, I get very stressed. FOOD: This was two eggs with mature cheddar (made in one of those ‘one egg’ pans) on seeded wholemeal bread, and coffee (instant, cos we fancy) and soya milk. Simple filling breakfast. Kids had the same (the boy had berry-ginger-lemon tea with honey, he’s the real fancy one). And my husband I don’t know because he made his own breakfast and had it while I was busy sleeping. #breakfast #quickbreakfast #eggs #cheese #eggsforbreakfast #eggswithcheese #cheddar #coffee #wholemealbread #fridaymorningbreakfast #fridaymorning #food #cooking #homecooking #homemade #foodiesofinstagram #homecooked #coffeetime #instafood

It’s an eat in the (home) office kind of day today. I’ve had a weird combination of lots of work, lots of personal projects and 3 people in the house with a cold (myself included). Very hectic, but somehow also quite chill. In any case. I’ve got a cold and tons to do so today the pressure cooker did all the cooking. Extremely thick lentil soup/stew with rice, corn and chorizo. 20 mins, no soaking, natural release. #lentils #lentilsoup #lentilstew #corn #rice #chorizo #soup #coldweatherfood #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #ipot #instantpot #homecooking #food #instafood #foodagram #foodstagram #foodiesofinstagram #spoonfood

Sunday brunch for the win! I used my husband’s phone for this photo. This is why you never use direct flash for photos. Looks terrible, I know. Buttered (homemade) bread, cheddar sandwich, broccoli omelette, salted caramel chocolate muffin and some fruit. I did NOT finish it all. Waaaay too much 🤦‍♀️ the leftovers will become afternoon snackage. Nothing gets wasted here! #brunch #sundaybrunch #omelette #broccoli #broccoliomelette #bread #baking #breadbaking #homecooking #homebaking #cooking #fruit #muffin #chocolate #chocolatemuffin #butter #sandwich #cheddar #food #foodie #instafood #foodagram #foodstagram #foodiesofinstagram #foodiegram

A summery meal, because apparently it’s hot again. Never mind that I’ve had the heating on for a week now. We’re now hitting the 20°s again! Anyway, back to the food. Basa fillet, baked with a vinegary chipotle paste. And brown rice noodles with mushrooms. Very simple and very flavourful, as usual. #fish #fishfillet #basa #basafillets #basafish #noodles #ricenoodles #brownricenoodles #mushroom #mushrooms #bakedfish #chipotle #vinegar #chipotlepaste #dinner #food #foodie #homecooking #foodstagram #foodagram #instafood #foodiesofinstagram #foodiesofinsta #instafoodie
