Chicken Burritos by The Fat Foodie

The best chicken burrito I ever ate was in a dedicated burrito restaurant in Edinburgh. My step-daughter had insisted we go there for lunch and although I didn’t expect the food to be astronomical I agreed to her suggestion. I couldn’t believe the size of the burrito I was served! It was a huge, but lovely, soft duvet-like tortilla wrap that was stuffed to the gunnels with Mexican rice, re-fried beans, salsa, guacamole, and tender strips of chicken. Aww, man! It was heaven wrapped in tinfoil. Continue reading →

Cranberry Cookies by The Fat Foodie

Just after Christmas my partner went food shopping and came home with two reduced punnets of fresh cranberries. I have no earthly idea what she thought we would do with fresh cranberries (let alone two packs!), but they had been enough of a bargain to justify their purchase. Ever since, they’ve sat in my freezer taking up valuable space and irritating me every time I’ve had to manoeuvre around them in order to get to something I’ve needed in the freezer, so I snapped the other day and let them defrost overnight and decided to try to make some cranberry cookies with them.
