4 pork shoulder steaks, mushroom puree 4 tbsp, butter 50g, plain flour 50g, 500ml pork stock (1 stock cube made up in a jug) 6 mushrooms quartered can be bought frozen and sliced, 1 leek sliced in rounds ( can be bought frozen all ready cut)

Place  your shoulder steaks into the casserole dish along with leeks and mushrooms, pour over the sauce pop in the oven at 180 or gas 6 for 30 minutes.

I am serving this with mash potatoes and asparagus, but you can serve with whatever veg you like, it goes well with a white wine.

My neighbour is going away on holiday and handed over half dozen apples ( and a variety of other things so not to go to waste) before she leaves. So this morning I am making an applie pie. (amongst all the other things I am cooking for the day thanks to my hoard of hungry kids lol)

You will need oven proof dish, knife, chopping board, jug, electric whisk (or hand whisk if you can manage) pot, pastry brush

2 sheets of short crust pastry ready rolled, 6 apples peeled, cored and sliced, 3-4 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 4 eggs, 250ml milk, 50g butter melted, 80g plain flour, 1 egg beaten for glaze, either caster sugar or icing sugar depending wether you want it to be dusted or sugared.

Take the first sheet of ready rolled pastry and put in your oven proof dish ensuring it comes up the sides.

In the jug add in the eggs, milk, flour and melted butter and whisk up till smooth.

On your pastry put on the sliced apples, pour over your mixture then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the lot. Top with second sheet of short crust pastry. brush over with a little egg and put in oven at 180 for approx 35-40. Put a knife in to make sure the apples can be easily cut through.

Take out of oven and either sprinkle over with caster sugar or allow to cool before dusting with icing sugar.

OK so I am saying ready rolled pastry which I have looked on line for prices as I make my own, but I am aware that a lot of people struggle with some of these things, so hopefully this one will make it easier. The cost is approx £4.50 if buying ready rolled sheets.

This goes well with either ice cream, or custard, or if you are like  @thespiceman then it will be both

I love soup, it is the kind of thing that is easy to make, filling and tastes amazing.

Also growing veg makes it a cheap or free meal for me, for some reason free or cheap food tastes better, I think my inner bargain hunter has a say on my taste buds.

leek and potato soup

you will need 1 pot, chopping board, knife, whisk, jug

25g butter, 25 g plain flour, 6 large potatoes cubed, 2 leeks sliced, 2 pints vegetable stock ( or chicken if preferred) 1 tbsp chopped chives, 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard, 150ml single cream a little salt and pepper to taste.

In the butter gently cook potatoes and leek for about 4 minutes (you might want to add a little extra if you think there is not enough for adding in the flour) add in the flour and mix till you have a paste with the potatoes and leeks, slowly add in your stock while whisking. Once the liquid is smooth add in your wholegrain mustard and bring to the boil. then turn down the heat and allow to simmer for about 15-20 minutes till potato is breaking up add in your cream, chives salt and pepper continue to simmer for 2 minutes. It should be a nice rich thick and creamy leek and potato. Serve.

This goes well with any bread, I like having garlic bread with mine.

Cost for this is approx £1.50 and will easily serve 4 large portions. You can freeze this, but will last 3 days in the fridge.
