-My Own pasta sauce with red wine

-A chicken dish I do where a chicken breast is wrapped around a sage leaf then it's all wrapped in streaky bacon and held together with a cocktail stick, roast with red onions then de-glaze the pan in red wine and use as gravy - serve with mash and Mrs Balls .... yum

-A dish I pinched from Waitrose which is roasted chicken breasts, chorizo, red onions and tomatoes

-Simple Moules Mariniere (preferably from Motes Restaurant in Port Isaac )

-Any type of pudding. Our local Italian Restaurant (Villa Bianca, Frimley) has the most amazing Almond tart, in fact anything almond'y', anything lemoney, just adore Lemon Tart, love chocolate, any type of chocolate ........ my husband has just returned from Atlanta and has introduced me to Peanut Butter M&Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm's .....

 

Food, it's great! The above are meals we have at home (mostly), couldn't really list 'going out' meals as I always try different things. We like quite basic meals, nothing over the top and tend to cook all meals from scratch. Not into cook in sauces etc... or prepared meals.
