3 Delicious Dishes

So it's been a long time since I've posted, no really good excuses to give for not posting and lots of great treats were had!

Justin and I have just recently returned from Canada, from getting married, which will have a post of its own soon because I have been dying to post the wedding cake recipe for months now!!

But for now, I have one main dish and two dessert treats to share with you!!

The first recipe is a simple and delicious recipe that we picked up for free from Waitrose. They have these great recipes cards that you can pick up in the shop and they are usually relatively simple and easy enough to make!

Homemade chicken burgers a la Monsieur Justin

So I was having a crumby Monday....had some slight frustrations at work and then the exercise class I was looking forward to, hoping it would brighten my spirits, was cancelled due to 'weather'.

So by the time I finally got home I was tired, annoyed, frustrated and thinking tomorrow would be a better Monday. Then Justin reminded me our Tesco delivery had come in. Blargh.....wasn't in the mood to cook yet so proceeded to play with interwebs. But then....I remembered Justin did the grocery order this week.......

Me - "Justin, are you waiting for me to cook supper?"

Justin - "No."

Me - "Is that no...you aren't waiting....or no....I'm not cooking?"

Justin - "No, I'll cook it."

Me - (sly grin forming.....) ,"Were you planning on cooking all week?"

Justin - "Yep!"

Me - "YEeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss! Things are coming up rosey!!!!"

So this weeks blog posts are going to be devoted to Justin's cooking endeavours!

Chicken Tagine with Almonds and Apricots

I've only made tagine once before and I thought it was too sweet a recipe, but that also might have been due to the fact that I put more honey in then it asked for. Since getting my Le Creuset I've been looking for more and more recipes that I can use it for and tagine are great for this! Again, despite the fact that was a big recipe, I only managed to fill it half way. 


The smells that came from the kitchen during this cooking process are the best I've ever smelled. Sweet and spicy and sexy all at once.
