The Omg AGAIN?
OK. So here it is.
Somewhere in my silly brain I decided to do a cooking blog.
Why?
Because I could.
Did I think about all the other things I had planned?
NO!
Like looking after my grandson?
No! (Best thing I have ever done I have to say!!!!)
Did I think about not having a Kitchen?
No!
So that is what will happen in the near future. Yes you read right.
I will have no kitchen to cook in!!!!
This is very exciting for me but I then forgot about my Blog!
So stay tuned because Caravan cooking will come to the fore. This I know how to do. After 7 years I would hope so.

The Little Mistake
OK so here it is!
The Mistake.
Tonight I WAS going to make a simple omelet with prosciutto, semi dried tomatoes and red onion.
It has now become scrambled eggs and the above? On Toast.
It still tasted good and Trev really didn't know any different except for the swearing!

OMG what am I DOING???
Hi All,
Just quick note as I really don't have time to fill in at the moment.
My eldest daughter suggested that I make a note of what is a quick meal (20 min from start to finish) and what is not. I will do this! at some time???? At the moment I have only 1 day to plan and cook my meals so there will be some cheating. (Although it will never be the same). E.G Steak! I have and will serve this many different ways, as I will pasta.
So IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR ME I WOULD LOVE THEM.
I will be back in the next few days with some secrets.
Lots of love
EAT AND BE MERRY
