carrots

If you want to jazz up you Sunday roast then check out these amazing and simple orange and ginger glazed carrots. This time I used some sweet baby carrots because they were on a yellow sticker and cheap. But you can use any variety of carrot for this recipe.

I am always looking at ways to get the kids happily eating more vegetables and this recipe didn't fail. It added a delicate extra flavour to the plate and all three of them asked for more. If you don't like ginger, you could always experiment with other flavours. We have cooked similar but used honey instead. I also plan to try to experiment with garlic in the future.

Chicken Hotpot - We had a little of our Sunday roast leftover from yesterday (yes, I know it was Monday, but thats how we roll around here)! So after a little rummage around the kitchen all I needed to buy was an onion. So, for 11p I made a delicious home cooked meal for everyone, with the boys going back for a second helping too (my lunch tomorrow)! If you had to buy all the ingredients it would still come in between £1.50 and £2.00! Super cheap and home cooked fresh food. Happy days. Plus it was quick and easy as well!

So, the kids are away with their Mum for a few days, finally giving me a chance to catch up with the house work and work. If I get another phone call about accepting the game request from the App Store, or asking for more data I'm going either scream or sit in the corner shaking......... Anyway, ignore my ramblings....... This recipe we had the day before they left. Easy, quick and very popular, so we will have again I'm sure. I did have a lot of this in the cupboard and only needed to buy the Chicken, also I have lost the receipt. So you will have to take my word for the fact it came to less than a fiver!
