Easy spaghetti

So I broke the uncooked spaghetti straight into the sauce expecting as every lazy girl may, disaster.
How wrong could I have been. Slurpy sauce, one pot used. Easy peasy.
Laziness really IS a girls best friend.

Until next time, think easy peasy! Share your shortcuts and as always - Happy Scoffing!

Flat breads, oatcakes, bannocks and a pav!

It's been a grand start to 2014 with lots of new home cooked treats and staples.....
Home made flat breads, amazing what flour and water can achieve - these were delicious!
My very own oatcakes made into squares, rounds, triangles and cups! 
Bere bannocks (a type of local flat scone/bread baked on the stove)
And a pavlova over Skype - technology goes to the next Level as the young man at uni shows off his first try!!

Until Next Time - try something new? Happy scoffing!

Roast chook and skirlie

We ventured out for a final lunch of the holidays today. On the menu succulent roast chook (chicken) with all the trimmings and skirlie - a gorgeous type of oatmeal stuffing which goes great with this and mince and tatties.

Pin head oatmeal, onions and some butter (or dripping) in roughly equal parts. Cooking is easy- fry off in a pan and with serve dry or add a wee bit water to make it moist. Your call, I prefer dry but Either is good. It's like a savoury porridge when wet, more texture when dry.

An old Scottish favourite - give it a go! You'll see it in the supermarkets in the chiller aisle if you're unsure....

Until next time, think about some of your old favourites - happy scoffing!
