Mrs Bags really does make exceedingly good...

Blueberry cake made with olive oil and yoghurt instead of butter/marg. it's gorgeous

Christmas jam - made with damsons, orange juice/zest, cinnamon and a slug of apple liqueur. Just made some and my house smells of Christmas.

Steamed Treacle Pudding. Light and fluffy with just the barest hint of lemon. Yum ~ so says everyone.

In the Summer , Caeser Salad, crispy Cos lettuce,croutons,anchovies, shavings of parmesan , lovely creamy caeser salad dressing and away you go, delicious ! Off to health club now for some excercise, --shift those pounds ,some hope ,still every little helps

ga Your jam sounds wonderful ~ I can almost smell it from here!

Chicken & rice..grandma's recipe... with dollops of home made yogurt and tabbouleh salad..nom nom!

Bolognese sauce!

Butternut me too. They travel miles for my treacle pud. I make a mean Jamaican Black Cake too, you would not believe how much booze can go into one cake!

Bread

I don't cook or bake anything like as much as I used to. If I make cakes and puddings these days, it's me who gets fat. Apart from when the grandsons visit. They love my chocolate cake.

My actual dinners have always been very down to earth, meat and two veg type of thing. DD2 does much more interesting and delicious dinners than I do. I can't stand faffing with a lot of ingredients.

I could be just lazy.

Scones & Victoria sponge.

I used to make treacle pud when the kids were still here. These days I would just eat it all.

I used to make a mean creme bruleé (don't know if that accent is in the right place, I was trying the AltGr key!), and a yummy apple strudel, but not any more or I would need a gastric band! [fat slob emoticon]

Alison have you posted your Jamaican boozy cake recipe..sounds lush!

nanaej how and where do I post it? Do I just type it in here?

well you could! i am not sure if people just post recipes on the recipe bit of the website or if they are sent to GNHQ first! You could PM it to me!

alison you can put it on the recipe bit..I just looked!!

Alison the recipe place is reached via the "Life and Style" link up above the forums list. Hovering on it with the cursor shows "Food" clicking on that takeds you to where the recipes live.

Or you could just cut out the middleman and type it into a post - but it will soon get lost inder future posts.

Under not inder, and takes should not have a D. Mind more on boozy cake than on typing.

Stew and dumplings!

Grannyactavist - Does your jam work with victoria plums?

Sticky toffee pudding - yum

Sunday gravy.

CHUTNEY!!!!!

I'm good at chutney.

Phew! I knew there must be something......... !
