Cookbook Challenge: Week 43, Crunchy

Recipe: Salt and vinegar baked chips Inspired from: Donna Hay, Simple Essentials: Salads and Vegetables The theme for the Cookbook Challenge this week is “crunchy” and initially I thought I would do a salad of some sort.

Cookbook Challenge: Week 35, Spanish

Hola! Welcome, welcome! Come in, take a seat, and get comfy. I would feed you all if I could, but unfortunately because technology hasn’t quite progressed to that point, you’ll just have to read all about the following lunch, and wish you had been there!

Jamie inspired roast lamb
