A broken toe…not concentrating ..and a new recipe…

What can I say…

Well I was going to say most days don’t turn out as planned…but that may lead you to think I planned, and to be fair I generally don’t.
But I did think about my routine (breakfast, make lunch, drop kids at school, walk dog etc.) and it was ok…until I kicked a chair….hard…by accident lol.

I have broken my toe…pfftt dammit. And it has distracted me from my cooking.

It was spaghetti.

Now I consider myself an ok cook, and lets face it, its not hard to cook a pan of spaghetti! The pain generating from my foot must of distracted me (that’s my story and I am sticking to it).
It is hard to make carbonnara, which is my all time comfort food..in a pan with pasta stuck to the bottom of it. On a plus side we have a new recipe…I promise I will post it shortly.

After I have eaten a baked carbonara, topped with mozzarella and breadcrumbs……Oh My.

All well that ends well 🙂

Happy Eating…and don’t turn the lights off then walk through a darkened room..you may kick something..Doh xx

Friday spaghetti lunch…

I was a very good girl this morning and didn’t have my Friday bacon butty…
However, I am not that good and managed to make a lunch that still fulfilled my Friday cravings.

I cannot call this a carbonara…simply because I couldn’t be bothered, But this was quick, easy and just as good.

Happy Friday…egg and bacon spaghetti for one 🙂

Cook a handful of spaghetti in boiling salted water…I added a shake of garlic granules for good measure.

In a cup whisk an egg, a splash of cream and lots of black pepper.
Chop 2 rashers of good bacon, and fry until just starting to crisp.

Drain the spaghetti, then tip back into the pan (you can turn off the heat.)

Add the egg mixture and stir quickly to coat the pasta.
add the bacon and stir again.
Tip into a bowl and top with grated parmesan..Eat and enjoy 🙂

It could have only been more perfect if severed with a glass of white (wine..not milk)

Nearly the weekend YAY

Little things mean a lot…

Little things mean a lot…

Coffee with cream
Parmesan with spaghetti
Pate with cranberry sauce…I love all the little extra things in life.

As they say “everyday is a gift…that’s why we call it the present”. And this I believe to be true. Maybe I am greedy; maybe I just enjoy the little things more than the big things.

A present is always wonderful but if it comes wrapped in sparkly paper with ribbons and bows…well that to me means just as much as what is inside.

So 2014 will be my year to “up pleasure” the things I enjoy. I will have salt on my chips, proper butter on my toast, cream in my coffee and add onion rings onto of my burger.

Food and life can be good…or they can be amazing. I think this year we all deserve a little bit of amazing.

Enjoy your day and thanks for reading.
