Winter Weekends

Brrr... the temperature has plummeted again but we decided that as it was dry we were going to kick off the walking so Saturday saw us walking 5 and half miles around the island. In the summer, we would do this walk maybe 3 or 4 times a week but this time it seemed like a real long slog!

This time of year is perfect for making soups. I picked up a packet of vegetables for soup, boiled it up in 1.5 litres of water and I added 2 vegetable stock cubes and 1 chicken stock cube. Once the veg was soft, I blended using a hand blender. Simple as that and was delicious! Making healthy, homemade soups need not be time consuming and complicated!

 

 

 

To warm us up from our winter walk, I cooked one of our favourites: Chicken Dopiaza. Another delicious and easy curry which can be cooked in about 20 minutes. I used pre-cooked chicken and this cut down the cooking time so I was able to jump back under the blankets on the sofa and carry on watching Godzilla in no time!
