Lovely leftovers- healthy peri-peri turkey

I hope all of my lovely blog readers had a fabulous Christmas. We were pretty hectic with 10 for lunch on the big day, and 20 eating on Christmas night.
We were kindly given our turkey this year by our local farm shop, we run with weekly meat draw at our pub for them. It was a little larger than I would have ordered otherwise.
I got them to remove and bone the legs, so I could stuff them and roast them as mini joints. They were really yummy, but we had a lot of meat left over.
I used up my turkey and veggie (carrots, parsnips, sprouts) left overs to make this yummy peri-peri one pot dish. Which is yummy but nice and light after the Christmas carb fest.

Made in the slow cooker in just over an hour, it's a great meal to chuck on before a walk in this lovely wintery weather we are having.
Last night I simply chopped up the left overs into chunks and sprinkled with peri-peri seasoning.
Then this morning I put a small handful of pasta in my slow cooker with a third of a pint of water. I added the spiced leftovers on top, turned the crock pot on low, and went for a walk with frog.
When we came back I whipped the temperature up to high, added half a bag of spinach and a handful of dried fruit.

Nice and low carb, but still delicious. A definite must have if your looking for a way to use up your left overs.

Little Bloom- Cloth Nappy reviews

If you are a newbie in cloth its hard to know what to buy. I've been using Cloth Nappies for 16 months with my first born, and am preparing to have two in cloth when my daughter arrives in May. You could say I'm somewhat of cloth nappy pro. I've moved on from my start up stash, and invest in nappies that will see us through til froggy potty trains, and ideally ones his baby sister can use afterwards too! Pocket nappies are great for this purpose and this week I'm reviewing the little bloom nappies You can grab little bloom nappies on amazon from as little as £2.89 delivered. So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?

Starting our kitchen garden

Growing our own food has been an ambition of my husband and I. We both really value locally sourced produce, and enjoy spending time outdoors. In our first home together (a basement flat in the city centre) we planted anything and everything we could in planters on the windowsill. I had green beans trailing up the bars of our windows. They bolted and twirled up the bars but never got enough light to produce anything edible. Then we moved into our first pub which had masses of outdoor space, unfortunately, all car park and no dirt. We managed to sustain some hanging baskets with strawberries and a few herb planters, but that was about it. Now we are in our new home. A lovely country pub in the new forest, whiich offers a private garden just for our little family. We moved here when I was 8 months pregnants and ever since, I've been desperate to make the most of it. Since the new year we've been planning what to do ...

Sowing in January- kitchen garden and allotments

What can I grow this January? After the business of December, January has hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm bored. I need a new project, and what I really want to do is get on top of my allotment and kitchen garden.
