The Weekend Chef #1: 10 Recipes For The Weekend

A HOUSE FULL of cook books and I still trawl the web day in, day out, on the lookout for recipes. As the bookmark list grows on the phone, through emailed recipes and more, I thought I’d start sharing some of the recipes I’ve come across week-to-week in a new blog series I like to call The Weekend Chef. While Sunday Brunch is a time for reading and catching up, Saturday is really the best day I’ve got for spending plenty of time in the kitchen and, as such, a lot of the big meals and new receipes tend to get a trial on a Saturday. So to kick things off, and keeping things in line with Sunday Brunch, here’s ten recipes I’ve bookmarked this past week, let me know if you try any of them out.

• Kit Kat Cheesecake Bars
• Homemade Nutella Recipe
• Greek Yogurt Lemon Mousse
• Cranberry Upside Down Cake
• Scrumptious Banana Bread
• Winter Vegetable Soup with Butternut Squash & Cauliflower
• Tomato Soup Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream
• Broken Lasagna with Walnut Pesto
• Slow Cooker Recipe for Cabbage Soup with Tomatoes, Chicken-Garlic Sausage, and Parmesan
• Ginger Slice Shortbread (yields 18-24 bars)

The above recipes have been selected from food blogs that I’ve read during the week and of the bunch, I’m gunning for the winter vegetable soup. Granted, there’s a good helping of desserts in there but the detox is on, have to be good, you know…
