Cook Once, Eat Twice ... and Then Make Cake

 

I have a pack of salmon fillets in the freezer ... proper posh ones from M&S ... I must have picked them up when we went house-hunting to Cleveleys.  

We thought it might be a good town to live in with it's bustling high street and a good selection of well known shops, including an M&S Food Hall.  Also with it being by the sea but nowhere near as overrun and touristy as Blackpool which is just down the coast, it looked very promising.  Anyway after viewing the property and having a good look around town we decided it was too busy for us, which is ironic really as my son might be moving there from Blackpool as it seems so very quiet to them.  

But anyway, we shopped in M&S and Alan paid.  Now and then I seem to have a tendency not to always post photos of the purchases when Alan pays, and as these went straight into the freezer no doubt they were 'out of sight and out of mind', so they were a happy find.

I'm cutting right back on fish these days so I made one salmon portion last over two meals, with lots of fusilli pasta in a lovely homemade sauce. 

Cook once, eat twice ... and this is actually nice hot or cold, but with it being so chilly recently the second portion was also heated up in the microwave the next day.

Hobbit breakfasts continue, with fruit and a single weetabix followed an hour later by toast or something on toast.

While I had a dish of peaches in the fridge I decided to treat us to a Peach Cake.  It was just my usual recipe -

2 eggs

+

their weight in:

SR Flour

Spread or Butter

Sugar*

+

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Mix everything together in a bowl and then pour into a lined or well greased cake tin.  Top with sliced tinned peaches ... or any fruit of your choice.  Cook for around 20-25 minutes in a medium hot oven.

*I emptied out all the demerara sugar sachets from my stash for this cake and it made for a lovely crunchy texture.

Absolutely delicious with a coffee mid afternoon.  

We had two slices each, over two days ... well I have to repay Alan in some way for all the food he's been buying me in dribs and drabs on our outings.  😄
