Welcome to my cooking blog. My name is Michelle Jenkins. Let me start by admitting that these are NOT gourmet meals, they are NOT fine dining, but they are mine. I have cooked all of these recipes and taken my own photos. They are fairly simple recipes, most of them are quick to prepare and cook and all of them are delicious. I only post my successes! If something doesn't work out, I don't post it. I hope you enjoy this blog.

  • 200g short cut bacon, diced

  3. Add mushrooms and peas, then cook on medium heat for 2 minutes
  4. Add the cream and stir in the grated cheese
  5. Bring mixture to the boil then turn down and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring often
