Yesterday I fancied something simple, light and full of flavour for lunch so I rustled up this yummy organic chicken caeser salad

Sundays deserve an indulgent organic brunch, so I made American style pancakes and served them with the yummiest smoked back bacon and maple syrup Not the healthiest, but a little of what you fancy every now and then is wonderful

These are some yummy pork meatballs with oriental style flavours I made last week and then froze into batches for quick dinners. Last night I served them with a dipping sauce (that I actually poured over!) and fluffy white rice.
I will try to remember exactly what I put in them and the sauce as I forgot to write the recipe down as I was making it up Then I will post the recipe in foodwise

This is a cake that I made for a friend's birthday last Friday. We work together so I took it into the office for everyone to enjoy as birthday treats. It was chocolate sponge sandwich with whipped cream and raspberries in the middle and chocolate ganache and pretty pink sugar sparkles on top. She enjoyed it and took the rest home for her family to try, and they liked it too

On Sunday Nathan and I went to visit my sister in Winchester, and before taking her out for lunch we went to the farmers market, which is the largest in Hampshire so I was very excited! I was so enthralled in everything that I forgot to snap some photos, hopefully I will remember next time. There were so many stalls laden with delicious bounty such as fruits, vegetables, honey, meats, game, fish, seafood, baked goods, preserves, flowers, garlic, wool, sheepskins, fresh hog roast, buffalo burgers and roasted mushroom sandwiches. It was a veritable feast for our eyes and noses, let alone our tummies! We sampled cheese, jam, ketchup, and cider and all were truly scrumptious. As I am in the process of setting up a tiny cottage industry of my homemade cakes, confectionery, jams and chutneys it was wonderful to see all of these other business thriving in the current economy and to also see what the competition are doing and how to differentiate my products.

Something I was particularly excited to see were all of the beautiful pumpkins. I was so thrilled that I had to buy the biggest one there!
These are all of the delicious treats that we bought:
Local set honey
Beeswax candles
Organic houmus
New forest blue cheese
Organic heirloom tomatoes
Hot chillies including birds eye and scotch bonnet
Organic onions
Organic beetroots
Organic pumpkin
Isle of Wight garlic for growing – Provence Wight, Chesnok Wight and Elephant
Ornamental gourds
Russet apple cider
Nathan was hungry and wanted to try a delicious buffalo burger rather than a sandwich from the deli, so he had one!

Now I cannot wait for the next market which is in two weeks time
