I decided I would try one new dish a week for meal times. Last week's was not a success (hence I didn't blog about this then!) but this week was a different matter. I tried my hand at toad in the hole, not just any toad in the hole but Jamie Oliver's toad in the hole. Now I have never eaten this dish before but oh boy! have I been missing out! It was so yummy and perfect comfort food for a Friday evening. Even Josh had some and he has to be the fussiest eater in the house!
The gravy was a little vinegary due to the balsamic vinegar and I have since found another recipe of Jamie's for a deconstructed version in my new Christmas book below which has an apple and onion gravy so will be trying that one next :) The above picture is Jamie's I hasten to add not mine - I will remember to take a picture next week!
I have also felt in the mood for baking this year so will be trying more recipes particularly from the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook. Yesterday I tackled the lemon loaf and took it into work today and it went down extremely well. Not sure I can commit to one baking session a week but I'll give it a go!
Would love to hear from anyone else who has recipes to recommend. Off to look for something to try this week....

yummy, all sounds great. I have loads of recipes and finially got them all laminated and in a lever arch, now i just have to get on and make some. Your lemon loaf sounds great.
The good food web site is fab for getting recipe ideas. Off there is the ultimate makeover chicken pie. It's a lighter version but really tasty.
Look forward to seeing what's next :0)
Well done trying new recipes, I am always trying out new ones that I forget the old ones some times !!
