Pretty inspired to cook as it's so cold outside (and inside tbh!)

Tried the baked sweet potatoes w/w chickpea spinach goodness from this site last night, definite win! Tonight, stirring up a mega batch of chilli, feels like the perfect place to be as it's just started snowing outside. For the game, nachos with the queso recipe just linked, and hot chicken drumsticks and blue cheese dip from a tried-and-tested recipe :)

A big batch of squash and pine nut risotto for dinners, and cheese sandwiches and flapjacks to be eaten outside in the middle of a day-long ride around the queen's backyard ;)

Must roast some chickens so I can use my new giant 12 qt stock pot, I cannot wait! Or maybe stock the freezer with some mega batches of something or other!

Making some chicken stock, assembling and freezing apple strudel for next Sunday's family Thanksgiving lunch for 10, and baking pecan pie tartlets to take to our cycle club on Thursday night :)

We had 13 friends over for a Halloween party last night, our first buffet party so trying to work out dishes that don't require a table!

We made a tray of spicy bourbon chicken drumsticks with blue cheese dip which disappeared pretty quickly, lamb meatballs, chilled beetroot soup, roasted potato stacks, a cheese board with apples from the garden (a friend brought some incredible goat gouda), and poire belle Hélène for afters.

Oh, and we mixed some dark and stormys, and a giant bowl of brandy apple punch. Loving the cool weather cooking.

Baked Camembert with boiled potatoes and green salad :)

Never, unless I have people over. Just not that excited by sweets. Give me a cheese plate every time.

Roasting a chicken for dinner and easy meals later in the week, and baking some zucchini muffins to start getting the freezer stocked for family arriving later in the week!

Totally! German road trip coming up :D Any recommendations for Frankfurt / Baden-Wuerttemburg / Bavarian must eats?? No content on their site yet for my destination...)

Pretty similar - usually nuts and dried fruit, a banana or a granola bar about 30 mins before I go to the gym. What do folks eat for dinner after an evening workout? I find it hard to cook a quick and healthy meal on returning from the gym before I get ravenously hungry.

Always the same night these days. We're tired but the post-event buzz carries us through and i agree about enjoying reflecting on the festivities. Usually family or friends will do a bit (sometimes all!) So nice as I'll have already done lots of washing getting the cooking stuff clean in between tasks.
