No problemo hun - let me know if you need any help with your other courses :D

Emzz hun I can't seem to find how much cheese you should use for your cheesecake recipe? xx

Its Philidelphia cheese that is used Spicy - 200g pack of Philidelphia, so a normal sized tub.

Any probs though, give me a shout, but I can guarantee the deliciousness of this one :D

Another one for Lea (but you are all of course welcome to use it - she just doesn't have any paper on her at the mo :D ):

Creamy Leek and Potato Soup

• 25g Butter
• 3 rashers bacon, chopped (can be left out if you want)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 trimmed leeks, sliced and well washed
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1.4 litres hot vegetable stock (you can used veg stock cubes for this hun)
• 142g tub single cream

Melt the butter in a large pan and fry the onion (and bacon if using), stirring occasionally, until starting to go golden brown

Tip in the leeks and potatoes, stir well then put the lid on the pan, turn down the heat, and leave for 5 mins, shaking the pan every now and then to make sure they don't stick.

Add the stock with some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer, covered for 20 mins until the vegetables are soft. Cool for a few minutes, then blitz in batches in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Return to the pan, pour in the cream and stir well. Taste and season again if necessary.

Serve and enjoy :D

Thank you veryy much Ems. Sounds yummy, and rather easy to make.

Thats ok hun *goes off in search of chickeny recipes for main course* :D

Honey Mushroom Chicken

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 250g mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1 tbsp clear honey
• 1 chicken stock cube

Cook the chicken in the oil for about 2 minutes each side. Remove from the pan, then add the mushrooms and cook till starting to brown.

Stir in a mugful of water, then add the ketchup and honey, and crumble in the stock cube. Put the chicken back in the pan. Cover and cook over a gentle heat for 10 minutes until just tender.

Serve with potatoes and veg.

For a thicker sauce, take the chicken from the pan, turn up the heat and allow the liquid to bubble and reduce a little.

:D

Thank you veryyy much again Ems. Sounds really yummy! And again realy easy to do! Thanks for allll your help, couldn't have done it without you haha!

Quick, easy and yummy is my motto with cooking lol.

Anytime though hun.

Ems I just thought of a few things...
What vegetables do you think would be best with the chicken dish? :hmm:
Like what goes well?

And could you give me rough estimate overall separate times of cookage, so I can plan on when to cook them all to be done by certain times, and so that the chicken dish isn't finished before the soup :lol:. (not the cheescake, just the soup and chicken). :D
