A busy day today. Quirky Jo's Chia pudding, chicken and brown rice soup and coconut chicken soup and about to make more chia and quinoa flat breads. Also 2 loaves of bread, pizza rolls using a focaccia base and some lemon muffins plus a loaded cauliflower casserole.

I have just made this for lunches for the next couple of days.  I do need to learn to read recipes first as I put some of the ingredients in before I should have but it didn't seem to make any difference. I think the only thing I would change would be to not put the chicken stock in as I find it just a little salty. Having said that though it tastes beautiful and I will definitely be making this again and again.

I have just made my second batch of these for my brekkies for the next few mornings.  I didn't use the sugar in the berries and also didn't have any of the suggested toppings.  Instead I used greek yoghurt, coconut, chopped walnuts (in my first batch) and pumpkin seeds in my second batch.  I really like these and love that I can make them and they last for 4 days (one pudding each day).

Another meal that we enjoyed. The puree was interesting but we all liked it.  I did have a problem getting the fish to cook - I have never used the Varoma before to cook fish and was unsure how to cook it evenly with the paper on the tray. I did end up putting all but the fish in the thermoservers and then put some water in the bowl and continued to steam the fish for a few additional minutes to finish it off. I am really enjoying the all in one meals - it makes life so much easier :)

This was a quick and yummy dinner that we all enjoyed. Unfortunately after I had started I realised that I had run out of sesame oil that I think would have made it taste really lovely.  I found that there was, well for us, way too much quinoa so would probably only use 200g for us next time. The tikka sauce is lovely and really adds to the dish. I will definitely make this again.

We all really enjoyed this.  I think though next time I will make more meatballs as they were the hit with my family and they kept asking for more:) A really lovely soup.

Well my problem here I think is that I didn't read the recipe correctly and tried to add everything to the bowl and when I realised had to try and mix it which meant it went clumpy.  In an effort to get the lumps out I put the mixture in the bowl (in half batches) and whizzed it to make it smooth.  I baked 2 separate loaves the first in a tin and the second as a cob loaf a few days later. In both cases I cooked for the required time but when I cut it it was very sticky particularly the cobb loaf. I guess I needed to cook for longer though it was very brown and crusty on the outside. It could have also been related to my mess up at the beginning :) Having said that though my eldest son in particular really likes it.  I will definitely give it another go and try the right method:)

Made this for dinner last night and we all enjoyed it.  In my rush as I was late for an appointment I didn't put in the chilli powder in the sauce. I think that it definitely needed some so will make sure it goes in next time. I also would next time put in either some peas or spinach. Definitely a meal I will make again.

Great to hear that it worked :) I am just waiting for my agar agar and then will give it a go.

We enjoyed this.  I did use casserole beef though instead of the lamb!!  I did cook it longer and it was really nice. It was lovely and thick but I think that was because the sweet potato disintegrated and thickened it up.

I'm Shazzy and I'm number 27. My family also love the Lentil Bolognese. Actually I don't think there is anything that I have made of Jo's that my family don't like!

Made this this afternoon to have with chicken soup.  Was a nice soft bread. I added some caramelised onions and shaped into a cobb loaf.  Was easy and quick to make.  My family all loved it.

These were very easy to make and taste lovely.  I cooked for probably 3 mins longer than the recipe stated and added just a little bit of water. I used some of it in the spelt loaf which was a really nice combination.

Made this again tonight and reduced the sugar to 20gms in the custard and 20gms in the crumble and we all preferred it this way. My DS15 particularly loves this.
