This hasn't been an easy task, as my young boys all love meat-heavy dishes. However, something else they are all fans of is a nice curry, so this korma dish, slowly but surely, has become a regular on our dinner menu. This is the ideal dish to make when your cupboards are a little bare, but you still have plenty of fresh vegetables to use up. I love the addition of butternut squash to a curry, but any sort of vegetables will work well in this dish. This korma is packed full of nutrients and flavour, and the leftovers are also delicious the next day. It's equally nice served with either rice or noodles.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;

Little cubes of fried potatoes, coated in a slightly spicy tomato sauce, makes this dish flavoursome enough to enjoy on its own, but the combination of flavours makes for a wonderful base for many dishes. Any grilled meat or roasted vegetables would work deliciously well served alongside the tomato drenched potatoes. Patatas bravas may be most associated as a snack to enjoy with a nice glass of red, however as an everyday dish it may be best suited to the family breakfast or brunch menu, especially when an egg is popped on top.\u0026nbsp;Chorizo, with its pungent flavours, pairs perfectly alongside any tomato based dish, it also adds to the smoky tones of the paprika. However, it can easily be omitted if you'd prefer this dish as a vegetarian option.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-nKCFZKp5w2E\/WWOsja7RusI\/AAAAAAAAFzI\/mjwOEZSmDCYn7YN5E5su8cEQbV1Fs6wXACLcBGAs\/s1600\/IMG_7362.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1089\" data-original-width=\"726\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-nKCFZKp5w2E\/WWOsja7RusI\/AAAAAAAAFzI\/mjwOEZSmDCYn7YN5E5su8cEQbV1Fs6wXACLcBGAs\/s2400\/IMG_7362.jpg\" width=\"532\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Oe6UEVCm0VE\/WWSrQi83FLI\/AAAAAAAAFzo\/zNuXzHgIIM0G5gyYBC24uJc08IzYgduJACLcBGAs\/s1600\/IMG_7384%2B%25282%2529.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1036\" data-original-width=\"691\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Oe6UEVCm0VE\/WWSrQi83FLI\/AAAAAAAAFzo\/zNuXzHgIIM0G5gyYBC24uJc08IzYgduJACLcBGAs\/s2400\/IMG_7384%2B%25282%2529.jpg\" width=\"532\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EPatatas Bravas with Chorizo \u0026amp; Eggs\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Ci\u003EPreparation Time: 10 minutes\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ECooking Time: 30 minutes\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EServes: 4\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIngredients\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFor the potatoes\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E500g new potatoes, scrubbed clean\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E2 tbsp olive oil\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESea salt \u0026amp; freshly ground pepper\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFor the sauce\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1tbsp olive oil\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1 onion, finely diced\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E2 garlic cloves, crushed\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1\/2 tsp smoked paprika\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EPinch of chilli flakes\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E400g tin of cherry tomatoes\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1\/2 tsp sugar\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESea salt \u0026amp; freshly ground pepper\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E80g chorizo, roughly diced\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFor the eggs\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1tsp olive oil\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E4 free-range eggs\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFor the garnish\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFresh chives\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMethod\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1.

When better to honor our potatoes, and the people behind them, than on National Potato Day, which happens to be taking place today, October 7th. It has been reported in recent years the sale of potatoes have decreased, but with a new campaign, being driven by \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bordbia.ie\/consumer\/aboutfood\/Pages\/NationalPotatoDay2016.aspx\"\u003EBord Bia\u003C\/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ahdb.org.uk\/\"\u003EAHDB Potatoes\u003C\/a\u003E, things are hopefully looking up for our spuds.

I'm not sure if there is any other ingredient in my kitchen that is as versatile as the humble spud. Soups, salads, casseroles and pies are all on the cards once I've a stash of potatoes in the veggie box. A simple potato soup, packed with fresh herbs from the garden, is my go-to lunch when there is little in the larder and time is limited. This chowder recipe I'm sharing with you today is basically a creamy soup, but it is packed full of goodness with the addition of locally grown potatoes and nutritious fresh fish. Potatoes are especially rich in potassium and are a great source of fibre, and they also boast of an impressive vitamin C level. Even though they will loss a little of their vitamin C through cooking, potatoes are still rich in this vitamin. So, stocking up on the spuds over the winter might just help to prevent those seasonal sniffles.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-HPeepCp6-1o\/V_aAi2E84mI\/AAAAAAAAFiU\/__uj06DgdjwhPs2wu66IFoiLGK278pjZACEw\/s600\/IMG_6345.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"354.1125\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-HPeepCp6-1o\/V_aAi2E84mI\/AAAAAAAAFiU\/__uj06DgdjwhPs2wu66IFoiLGK278pjZACEw\/s6200\/IMG_6345.jpg\" width=\"532\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EFish, which is bursting with omega-3 fatty acids, is a great choice for all the family, as it will help to keep bones healthy. This chowder is deliciously indulgent but, in fact, once the cream is omitted, it isn't terribly high in calories. If preferred, simply substitute the cream at the end with a little additional milk. For the fish in the dish, I'm using a mixture of salmon, smoked haddock and cod. Most fishmongers will have no problem preparing the fish for you, but many will have a similar mixture already prepared and ready to use. A bowl of this potato seafood chowder is a meal in itself, but it also pairs perfectly with some traditional Irish soda bread.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;times new roman\u0026quot;

They are never nicer than when simply sprinkled with a little sea salt, but when I’m faced with a glut of them I tend to use the tomatoes in recipes where I would normally use the tinned variety. A sausage and bean stew is so easy to throw together, on a busy evening, and the results are always so tasty. As much as I’m a fan of bringing a dinner together from whatever is in the press, using fresh tomatoes in this recipe really turns it into something special. This tasty stew pairs perfectly with pasta, but when serving on a warm summer’s evening, I like to serve it with a simple salad and lots of crusty bread.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mRUSjIS2v-M\/V6CbUUgymUI\/AAAAAAAAFc8\/Y0zmKK1gGNoXLxqwe-QdG5FZKXx_ZsU4ACLcB\/s100\/IMG_7968b%2Bresized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"782.3\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mRUSjIS2v-M\/V6CbUUgymUI\/AAAAAAAAFc8\/Y0zmKK1gGNoXLxqwe-QdG5FZKXx_ZsU4ACLcB\/s9400\/IMG_7968b%2Bresized.jpg\" width=\"532\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESausage \u0026amp; Bean Stew\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EServes 4\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIngredients\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E454g good quality sausages\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1 tin cannelloni beans\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E650g cherry tomatoes or 2 tins of cherry tomatoes\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1 onion, roughly diced\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1 yellow pepper, cut into strips\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1tsp smoked paprika\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1tsp sugar\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1tbsp balsamic vinegar\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E1 tbsp olive oil\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESea salt and freshly ground pepper\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003ETo serve\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ECrusty bread\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EGreen salad\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMethod\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Col\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ci\u003EPreheat the oven to 200°C\/fan 180°c\/gas 6.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ci\u003ETo a large roasting tin, add the sausages, beans, tomatoes, onion, pepper and garlic.

A herd of cattle, many of whom I was rather fond of, were being transported away from our farm. As I always imagined, like many before them, they were about to embark on a trip to a nice farm in another town. However, to my horror, this lorry driver disclosed to me that there was no farm or happily ever after at their final destination. Now, I did realise where meat actually came from, however I somehow never considered my beautiful bovine friends were amongst those destined for someone's dinner table. I cried for hours that day and the only consolation I could give myself was that never again would I eat meat. That evening, I declared myself to be a vegetarian. I was rather proud of myself, but it was a decision which left my mother with a bit of a dilemma. In 1980's Ireland, dinner options were few and far between when meat wasn't taking the leading role on the dinner plate. I had always been an avid mushroom fan, but their versatility really took charge when my mother needed some dinner inspiration for a fussy pre-teen. From mushroom omelettes to mushroom vol-au-vents (posh nosh in the eighties), mushrooms became a reliable stable in my house. To this day, I still embrace all the goodness of the simple mushroom. My weekly shop wouldn't be complete without a sufficient supply in my trolley. And even though I'm not dealing with any cow-loving vegetarians, many of our weekly dishes happen to be meat-free, and the addition of mushrooms always add a certain amount of cost-efficient meatiness. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins, a good source of protein and a portion of mushrooms also count as one of our 5-a-day, so they really are a champion ingredient to be celebrated all year round.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EBBQ Mushroom, Cashew \u0026amp; Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Mini Peppers\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen there is the chance of sun and the barbecue is hot, one of my favourite ways to cook mushrooms is simply smeared with a combination of butter, garlic and fresh herbs, popped in a little foil pouch. They're prepared in minutes and utterly delicious especially when placed on slices of buttery brioche, which have also graced the heat of the barbecue for a few seconds. When entertaining a crowd alfresco-style, I try to keep the menu simple and have as many of the dishes prepared in advance, ready to serve or cook on the barbecue.These mushroom stuffed peppers are ideal, as they can be prepared early in the day and stored in the fridge ready for popping on the barbecue whenever needed. They can be served as an accompaniment to barbecued fish or meat, but they have enough gusto to hold their own when served with a simple green salad. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-K4p_kPbziPk\/V1VMsnNVnNI\/AAAAAAAAFY0\/Ixnvu71uicUjTY7wLBJpOulxKEG8qO0PQCLcB\/s8400\/IMG_5852%2Bresized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-K4p_kPbziPk\/V1VMsnNVnNI\/AAAAAAAAFY0\/Ixnvu71uicUjTY7wLBJpOulxKEG8qO0PQCLcB\/s8400\/IMG_5852%2Bresized.jpg\" width=\"532\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003EPreparation Time: 20 minutes\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003EServes 4\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EIngredients\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E2 tbsp olive oil\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E250g chestnut or closed cup mushrooms, finely chopped\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESea salt\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E75g raw cashew nuts, roughly chopped\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E50g sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E2 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E12 mini peppers\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EMethod\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Col\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ci\u003ETo make the filling, heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan.

To bring more excitement to this momentous day, Neven Maguire joined us to officially launch the book. The school was packed to capacity with the children, their parents, extended family, community members and many guests, including Westmeath GAA star Kieran Martin. Local newspaper photographers were taking snaps at every opportunity, while Midlands Radio 3 reporter Ríona Cleary took the time to have a few words with me, the children, staff and, of course, Neven. This was broadcast the following Monday, and I've attached the piece below, for anyone who'd like to have a listen.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003EOnce all the formalities and speeches were taken care of it then came the time to sample some of the delicious dishes from Templelicious.

However, in recent years medics and researchers alike have taken a bit of a u turn and have deflected the focus off fat and are now declaring war on sugar, blaming it for a host of health problems and highlighting it's part in the current obesity crisis. In general, the over-consumption of anything will never do us any favours, but a poor diet and the over indulgence of sugar has long been the number one risk factor for developing diabetes. The most common form of diabetes is Type 2, and this develops when the body does not produce sufficient insulin to function properly. Insulin is a hormone which helps with the breakdown of sugars and carries them from the bloodstream into the cells. If continuous over consumption of sugar occurs, we put our insulin supply under severe pressure and leave ourselves at risk of developing diabetes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EAs well as regular exercise, establishing and maintaining a healthy diet can be the most beneficial way to avoid or control Type 2 diabetes. Cutting down on sugar can drastically improve our health, while also aid in encouraging a healthy weight. Even without having a major risk of developing diabetes, we all need to be aware of hidden sugars in our foods.We know that biscuits or cakes are laden down with sugars, so we can consciously choose how much of these we eat. However, it's the hidden sugar in our food which is the real problem. Many of our everyday foods, such as yogurts, breakfast cereals and sauces, are overloaded with sugar. While food products that are marketed as the 'healthy' or 'low fat' option quite often are high in sugar or salt, or both. The World Health Organisation recommends that as adults we should consume no more than 50g or 12 teaspoons of sugar a day, which for some experts is still too much. Wholesome foods are the best choice when trying to avoid excess sugars in the diet. The glycemic index (GI) was first developed to help people with diabetes choose foods that maintain a steady blood sugar level. Foods with a low glycemic index, should be prominent in all of our diets, as they release their energy slowly and help us to avoid sugar highs. Beans, lentils, sweet potatoes, oats, leafy greens, unsalted nuts and seeds, are all among these wholesome, low GI foods. Whenever possible, we should incorporate these foods into our diet. They help to maintain a consistent blood sugar and encourage fullness, which in turn can aid in steering us away from those sugar-laden foods.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ECheesy Beany Stuffed Potatoes\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBeans are a great addition to the diet as they are high in fibre, high in protein and are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Coming from a farming background they were an essential part of our daily meals. If there weren't a few spuds on the plate my father would be rather certain he had gone the day without any dinner. Growing up in Ireland in the eighties you'd have to be fierce posh to be eating the likes of pasta or rice, so the original 'superfood', the potato, was never in fear of being knocked off its number one spot. Even though every sort of a carbohydrate is now available to plate up for dinner, my heart has always remained with the humble spud. They're incredibly versatile, making them a marvellous base for something scrumptious. When trying to please a household of different likes and dislikes versatility and a little creativity is key to clean after-dinner plates. One of my son's has followed in his Granddad's footstep and no matter what the dinner, be it a creamy chicken dish, a bolognese or even a korma, he's happiest when spuds are somewhere in the mix. While for me, there's not much a bowl of steaming, creamy mashed potatoes can't comfort.\u0026nbsp; \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003ERoosters tend to create the very best mashed potatoes, so when we're choosing which varieties to plant in our garden each March, they're always top of our list. One of my long-standing measures to encourage my children to become excited about their food is to include them in the planting and care of the produce in the garden. This worked especially well when certain fussy stages were progressing. It turns out that children are much more likely to eat their dinner, if they've put a little of their own manpower into producing the meal in some way. Even as an adult, it's ever so exciting to have a successful yield of any vegetable or fruit form the garden. Something that we're always guaranteed to produce almost perfectly is our crop of potatoes. Potatoes are incredibly easy to grow in our rich, Irish soil, and since they can start to be harvested after a short 10 weeks, their progress can yield great excitement and anticipation for any little gardener.  \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ig1jFSYX-8g\/ViZfWh7PNVI\/AAAAAAAAFG4\/trPQOG3grSY\/s1600\/IMG_2286%2Bresized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ig1jFSYX-8g\/ViZfWh7PNVI\/AAAAAAAAFG4\/trPQOG3grSY\/s1400\/IMG_2286%2Bresized.jpg\" width=\"580\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ci\u003EA fun, plant your own spuds project:\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003EIf you are limited for space, potatoes can even be planted in a large shopping bag. It's a very simple method and all that is needed is a bag of compost and a few potatoes that have gone to seed. A not so thick layer of compost is placed at the bottom of the bag, before adding two or three seeded potatoes and topping with another thin layer of compost. Keep the extra compost to one side. Now, this is the exciting part for the children, because with a daily sprinkling of water, the potatoes will sprout up little leaves, another thin layer of compost has to be added to the bag, or indeed large container. This process is repeated until the compost has filled the entire bag and once this happens it won't be long before the potatoes are being harvested. \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bordbia.ie\/consumer\/gardening\/organicgardening\/Worksheets\/Planting%20outside,%20soil%20and%20rotations.pdf\"\u003EBord Bia\u003C\/a\u003E have some very useful guidelines on their site for planting a school garden, and of course potatoes feature, but this would also make for a marvellous home project with little ones. It's now a little late in the year for planting spuds, but if using this bag method indoors in a sunny spot, possibly in a greenhouse or conservatory, you can plant them as early as February.  \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4Oc4e7g7Ltc\/ViZfXGbZ0II\/AAAAAAAAFG8\/S-ELmBzFV3E\/s1600\/IMG_2301%2Bresized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4Oc4e7g7Ltc\/ViZfXGbZ0II\/AAAAAAAAFG8\/S-ELmBzFV3E\/s2400\/IMG_2301%2Bresized.jpg\" width=\"488\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003EEven if you don't get the chance to grow your own, we are fortunate to have many great growers in Ireland, who are passionate about producing something special for our dinner table, so let's support their good work.

The structured routine during\u0026nbsp;the school term allows for set dining times and, in turn, I find myself having a pot of stew, curry or soup always ready for the return of the school goers. As much as I love the continuity of the school day routine, I’m always ready to embrace the more relaxed mealtimes once July is upon us. Naturally I still like to serve dishes that are nutritious, as well as tasty, but time is generally the essence, so my summertime meals are ones that can be rustled up in a hurry. Like in many households, our old reliable barbecue is ever ready at the back door, throughout the summer months. Even though I still find myself\u0026nbsp;predominantly\u0026nbsp;cooking at my stove, that\u0026nbsp;barbeque vibe of handheld meals is still prominent for my summer months. Burgers, fajitas and hot dogs, of sort, all work wonderfully well when\u0026nbsp;you're\u0026nbsp;trying to make the most of our Irish summer sun.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-QlDYwJ02PSM\/U8jrGl6rkMI\/AAAAAAAAEPY\/Eoaw-KKkczE\/s1600\/IMG_6714+resized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: black; font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-QlDYwJ02PSM\/U8jrGl6rkMI\/AAAAAAAAEPY\/Eoaw-KKkczE\/s3200\/IMG_6714+resized.jpg\" width=\"530\" \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-IE\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-IE\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EChicken Fajitas with Caramelised Red Onion \u0026amp; Peppers\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-IE\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003ESummer or winter alike, fajitas are one of my all time favourite fast, family dishes.

Even though my crew seem to eat me out of house and home on a daily basis, there are some food items that I can’t tempt them with. One of those is shellfish. I happen to love shellfish, or any variety of fish, and I particularly love nothing better than serving it straight from the barbeque. However, as we are currently undergoing torrential weather warnings I don’t think that I'll risk dragging out the barbecue, even in the name of love, on Valentine’ s Day. Instead I'll settle for this quick and tasty oven baked prawn and chorizo dish. In lieu of that smokiness which I've come to love with barbecuing prawns I’ve sprinkled these with a little smoked paprika. This dish is prepared in minutes and is ever so tasty. So, my menu is set for Valentine’s and all I need now is to convince the children that they are all wrecked by 8.30pm so that I can cook this dish at a reasonable hour.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-yi7UmsWj1Jo\/Uv31gXySfMI\/AAAAAAAAD38\/VxnOHVrluBI\/s1600\/IMG_5423b+resized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-yi7UmsWj1Jo\/Uv31gXySfMI\/AAAAAAAAD38\/VxnOHVrluBI\/s3200\/IMG_5423b+resized.jpg\" width=\"530\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cb\u003EOven-Baked Spicy Prawns \u0026amp; Chorizo on Toast\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIngredients\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E50g butter, softened\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E1 small red chilli, finely chopped\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E1 clove of garlic, crushed\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E½ tsp smoked paprika\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003EZest of ½ a lemon\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E200g raw prawns, deveined and defrosted, if necessary*\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E75g chorizo, sliced\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E1tbsp parsley, finely chopped\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003EJuice half a lemon\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ETo Serve\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E1 tbsp olive oil\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E2 thick slices of bread\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMethod\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\" style=\"margin-left: 35.85pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;\"\u003E\u003C!--[if !supportLists]--\u003E1.\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C!--[endif]--\u003EPreheat the oven to 200\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003E°C\u003C\/span\u003E\/ fan 180\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003E°C\u003C\/span\u003E\/ gas 5.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\" style=\"margin-left: 35.85pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;\"\u003E\u003C!--[if !supportLists]--\u003E2.\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C!--[endif]--\u003EIn a bowl combine the softened butter with the chilli, garlic, smoked paprika and lemon zest.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\" style=\"margin-left: 35.85pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;\"\u003E\u003C!--[if !supportLists]--\u003E3.\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C!--[endif]--\u003EPlace the prawns and chorizo in a single layer in a casserole dish.

A few weeks ago I was gifted with a shoulder of organic pork from a local organic farm,\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MentonsOrganicFarm\/info\"\u003E Menton's in Banagher\u003C\/a\u003E. To do this beautiful piece of meat some justice I treated it tenderly with a simple spice rub and glazed it with a barbecue-like sauce before slow roasted it for a few hours. The result was sensational; the meat was flavoursome, moist and tender, and it shredded easily into bite-sized pieces. It made for the perfect burger filler. The meat doesn't necessarily have to be eaten hot, as I allowed some of it to cool and after refrigerating over night the flavours really intensified. \u0026nbsp;I paired it with an easy to prepare salad, however, if you prefer you could use a regular coleslaw. This roast pork dish, minus the buns and salad, would also be delicious as part of a traditional meat and two veg dinner, and simply serve with a nice bowl of apple sauce. Organic pork is becoming easier to source and isn't it wonderful that local farmers are making it available for us to buy straight from their farms. The difference between the farm-reared organic pork and the regular pork is remarkable.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-IGLDx1luIlo\/UoydzwyQMZI\/AAAAAAAADv0\/KK6ImbPJ9Bg\/s1600\/IMG_4440b.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-IGLDx1luIlo\/UoydzwyQMZI\/AAAAAAAADv0\/KK6ImbPJ9Bg\/s640\/IMG_4440b.jpg\" width=\"426\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EThe pulled pork was a huge hit with the adults and children alike in the house.

The meat would mostly vary between lamb, chicken, pork and beef. However for me what made the Sunday Roast so special were all the\u0026nbsp;accompanying\u0026nbsp;side dishes. My favourites would include fresh herb stuffing,\u0026nbsp;Yorkshire\u0026nbsp;puddings and roast vegetables, which would all be quite suitably smothered in\u0026nbsp;lashings of gravy. My own children also love the Sunday Roast dinner, however I don't make it nearly as often as my mother did. Even without going over-board on the side dishes it's inevitable that many pots and pans will be left for the washing, well after the delights of dinner have been enjoyed. It sometimes seems that I can spend as long at the kitchen sink as I did preparing\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;meal. Of course this will all\u0026nbsp;change\u0026nbsp;in a few years when my little men and woman are older. They'll be only delighted to take over the\u0026nbsp;reigns to give their mother a break on a Sunday afternoon.\u0026nbsp;Well at least that's what I'm telling myself {all those with teenagers can mock now!}. I will always opt for a free-range chicken and when the budget allows an organic bird would be my choice. The taste of the better\u0026nbsp;quality\u0026nbsp;bird is\u0026nbsp;certainly\u0026nbsp;noticeable. Along with the additional nutrients it's worth spending the few extra euros.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-vLKMoI7xDRA\/Uft3KMPgvJI\/AAAAAAAADh4\/CDkf40P6BVw\/s1600\/IMG_0175+resized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-vLKMoI7xDRA\/Uft3KMPgvJI\/AAAAAAAADh4\/CDkf40P6BVw\/s640\/IMG_0175+resized.jpg\" width=\"426\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Co:p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003ERoast Chicken\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003E\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"\u003ELittle is needed to enhance the flavour of a roast chicken, but I find butter is a good addition. It lends not only a buttery\u0026nbsp;deliciousness\u0026nbsp;to the flavour but also promotes a beautiful golden glaze to the cooked bird. Lemon and rosemary partner wonderfully with chicken. In this recipe I've added them to the butter and then gently pushed the zesty, herby butter underneath the skin, of the uncooked chicken.

One that is tasty, not too spicy but bursting with flavour. Preferably I like to skip the step of me having to make this delicious curry and be simply handed it, however this normally isn't the case. All I can do, when such a craving arises, is to whip up a curry which isn't too\u0026nbsp;cumbersome\u0026nbsp;to make but still possess a good depth of flavour.\u0026nbsp;This\u0026nbsp;Thai\u0026nbsp;red prawn curry would be my quick fix to any curry craving, but of course if it's to be made in minutes some cheating has to occur.\u0026nbsp;For any authentic\u0026nbsp;Thai\u0026nbsp;curry the\u0026nbsp;Thai\u0026nbsp;curry paste would normally be\u0026nbsp;home-made\u0026nbsp;and consist of many\u0026nbsp;distinctively flavoursome ingredients. To bring this curry from\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;stove to\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;table just a little bit quicker I'm using a shop-bought red Thai curry paste. There are many good quality ones available to buy but feel free to make your own paste and use it in this recipe, if you prefer.\u0026nbsp;I'm a huge fan of prawns and I will always have a bag stashed in the freezer, which makes for a rather convenient dinner option any day. However not everyone in the family is so keen on prawns. For the younger children I often substitute the prawns with diced chicken or else fish, such as hake, but I always allow a little extra time to ensure that they are fully cooked through before serving. When served with a portion of fluffy rice, a few poppadoms and a spoonful of mango chutney this curry sure can hit the spot.

It probably\u0026nbsp;wouldn't\u0026nbsp;be an everyday dinner for most of us, but not a bad dining option all the same. I love nothing better than a tasty stew on a cold, blustery day and this is one of my favourite combinations. I have fond memories of devouring bowlfuls of stew as a young child and there were always little nuggets of gold, in the form of dumplings, which I totally relished. The dumplings my mother made were always very small, which seemed just perfect as a child as each spoonful of stew would\u0026nbsp;carry\u0026nbsp;one or two of these. I generally make dumplings a little larger and my own children also love them. Buried within the flavoursome rich and salty stew they add a wonderful contrasting texture of soft and fluffy. Served with a good helping of creamy mashed potatoes this Beef \u0026amp; Guinness Stew with Dumplings would be welcomed at any occasion but seems especially appropriate for St. Patrick's Day.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb style=\"text-indent: 0cm;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;serif\u0026quot;;

The front of almost every magazine cover is a recommendation for a diet plan that seems to be a guarantee to lose a significant amount of weigh within a week. It's hard not to be drawn to such an enticing possibility but in reality most are advising the same; cut out junk food, don't eat to excess, eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and on top of this exercise daily. It all makes perfect sense and even sounds pretty reasonable, but what is never listed, and is most important, is the huge willpower needed to ditch the old diet and follow these simple steps. Personally, even though I know I\u0026nbsp;shouldn't\u0026nbsp;I find it rather difficult to resist a few biscuits with an after dinner cuppa.

margin: 0cm;\"\u003EFor the past year one of my young men has wanted to start every afterschool activity that has come his way. From speech \u0026amp; drama to badminton, there is never a note brought home without\u0026nbsp;profuse pleading and stories of how he has always wanted to do whichever particular activity is being advertised. I generally have a rule that unless the children genuinely love their afterschool activities and are in some way benefiting from doing it I don't send them. After all, it costs both\u0026nbsp;money and time for\u0026nbsp;these activities and evenings can be much better spent when not taxiing for hours on end. Last summer this little man got the notion that he would very much like to commence horse riding. We had been to Moate Show and stood for an hour watching horses being groomed and then partake in the show. They looked so magnificent and on seeing a child, similar to his age, jumping very confidently, he decided that this could be his next afterschool\u0026nbsp;endeavour. He is an avid animal lover so I wasn't surprised by this suggestion. We decided to stay local to Moate and try a few lessons at\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.hallfarmmoate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EHall Farm\u003C\/a\u003E. Never before had we been out there and it really is a beautiful, idyllic spot. A gathering of ducks and hens met us on hopping out of the car, as we parked in front of an orchard full of heavily ladened apple trees. We were\u0026nbsp;instantly\u0026nbsp;impressed, even before seeing the horses. The first few visit brought some early day nerves, but confidence was soon gained and almost a year down the line my little man is still heading out to his lessons, rain or shine and after the last few weeks he is now dreaming of a gold for Ireland. That’s possibly a little ambitious, but never the less he's enjoying himself while getting plenty of exercise.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003EMyles, who runs Hall Farm, is a true\u0026nbsp;entrepreneur, when not taking care of the horses and giving lessons he's in the kitchen, using local ingredients, to create some amazing dishes for his restaurant at the farm. During one of the lessons\u0026nbsp;recently\u0026nbsp;he shared with me a liver dish recipe, which he makes as a starter at the restaurant. My Dad has had some difficulties with low iron levels recently, so I generally\u0026nbsp;try\u0026nbsp;to include iron rich foods in his diet. He is a great fan of liver, which happens to be very rich in Iron and as I'm ever keen to find new ways of serving it, I decided to try out Myles’s recipe for Liver with Cream \u0026amp; Mustard and it was delicious.\u0026nbsp;\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003EIt's certainly no great task to\u0026nbsp;bring\u0026nbsp;Tiarnán to his horse riding lessons as myself and the children can wander through the orchard, admire the ducks and I even get the\u0026nbsp;opportunity\u0026nbsp;to do a little chatting about food!\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EPan-Fried Lamb's Liver with Cream \u0026amp; Mustard\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIngredients\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E4 lambs’ livers\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003ESalt and freshly ground pepper\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EKnob of butter\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E1 tbsp olive oil\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E250mls cream\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E1 tbsp wholegrain mustard\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E8 baby potatoes, cooked and cut in half\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E1 tbsp parsley, roughly chopped\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMethod\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"\u003E1. \u0026nbsp;Heat a frying pan, add the butter and drizzle in the olive oil.

It was the first summer in many years that I either didn't have a baby on my hip or was pregnant, so heading out to the garden, even with a flock of helpers was very refreshing. I have also been kept busy with food related projects, lots of writing and photography, so we were all suitable busy for\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;summer months.

I've come to know Sheila through food blogging, as she\u0026nbsp;writes\u0026nbsp;a wonderful blog {\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/gimmetherecipe.com\/\"\u003EGimme the Recipe\u003C\/a\u003E} that I have been following for the past couple of years. I was very excited to get my hands on Sheila's book, as her blog is one that I regularly refer to and quite often cook from. Sheila's approach to cooking is\u0026nbsp;completely\u0026nbsp;no-nonsense and the recipes are always straight forward. They would surely need to be, as this lady not only\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;runs a\u0026nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;\"\u003Efood safety consultancy business\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u0026nbsp;with her husband, but she also has six, yes six, children.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe book is divided up in a way that reflects any busy home. The main section of the book is titled 'What's for Dinner Mom?'. A perfectly named chapter as, like all mothers, this is something I hear many times a day. Sheila includes quick after school snacks, such as Quesadillas and Crispy Potato Skins, delicious soups, one-pot dinners as well as many many dishes that could be whipped up in a flash. I recently made Sheila's 'Salmon in Soy Sauce'\u0026nbsp;which I served with a noodle salad. A very tasty way to cook salmon and was made in minutes. Sheila has also included a fair amount of recipes for days when you have the time to do a little home baking. The next section of recipes are especially\u0026nbsp;tailored for entertaining,\u0026nbsp;be that dinner parties or large family gatherings. A wonderful addition to this book are the detailed plans for hosting these meals,\u0026nbsp;relatively\u0026nbsp;stress free. As well as Sheila's candid approach to her recipes, she\u0026nbsp;maintains\u0026nbsp;this course with her ingredients. She made a point to only include ingredients that she could source at her local supermarket, making the recipes accessible to all.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn the night of the book launch, Sheila thanked her husband and children, for their\u0026nbsp;involvement\u0026nbsp;with the book. Their\u0026nbsp;presence\u0026nbsp;in her kitchen, and her heart, is evident throughout the\u0026nbsp;chosen\u0026nbsp;recipes and the way she introduces each dish. An adorable touch to this cookbook is a page filled with hand drawings by the children.\u0026nbsp;How proud they all must be that this snippet of their life will, ever more, be on the book shelve of stores.\u0026nbsp;I've seen and bought many 'family cookbooks' but there is a certain honestly to this one, that so many celebrity focused ones just don't seem to undertake. I've a feeling that this is the just the\u0026nbsp;beginning of a very\u0026nbsp;successful\u0026nbsp;career in writing for\u0026nbsp;Sheila.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ESalmon in Soy Sauce\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-tDz2-VJsxK8\/T7oOecM1JAI\/AAAAAAAACeU\/NmM_670TAMY\/s1600\/IMG_1137+resized.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-tDz2-VJsxK8\/T7oOecM1JAI\/AAAAAAAACeU\/NmM_670TAMY\/s640\/IMG_1137+resized.jpg\" width=\"426\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003EThis is a tasty and very healthy way to cook salmon.
