🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Well "Gooday" BEANS! Love the UK .... my Ancestral Home ! Granddad, the 6+ one left Preston, Lancashire, in 1834 met his Irish lass, married and started our Australian family, (on my Dad's.) Just made it out of England in March 2020 before we locked down. Meant to come back August to organise a 60 birthday ! So very keen to come back to my second home !
Cheers guys 👍 I've been to Exmoor. Stunning place! And as a fellow Brit, I too can confirm what you said about how we like to moan. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS BLOODY WIFI 😂
Cornbeef Hash: 1 tin cornbeef , 2 carrots sliced, 1 large onion finely diced, 2 potatoes diced, 1 beef oxo cube. 2 - 3 teaspoons bistro gravy granules. 1 - 1 1/2 pints water. Method: add onions, carrots, potatoes and most of water to pan, boil gently until all veg are soft. Add oxo cube and can of cornbeef. Gently simmer do no over stir. Then add gravy granules and more water if required as there should be a thick ish gravy. You decide how much water you prefer. To bulk out, this recipe 2 good quality sausage could be added for extra flavour browned in pan first before starting veg. Then just slice sausage and start the recipe. Hope you try and enjoy, good source of iron from cornbeef. ❤️
We Dutch have similar weather and a similar love of complaining about it 😂 When it rains my husband let's me know about 50 times a day how miserable the day is. But in summer he complains it's too hot! My go to one pot meal: chop garlic (lots) and 1 yellow onion, sauté with lots of olive oil, chuck in 500 gr of washed risotto rice, add chopped courgette (we do 3) and ham cubes(250gr?), add boiled/hot water until covered. Keep at a soft boil and stir now and then until water is almost gone, add more water if risotto needs it, when done add lots and lots of (goat) cheese, mix well and enjoy. It looks like mush but tastes great!
I love seeing the English countryside and all of those quaint little towns. When we were camping we would make “omlettes” in plastic zipper bags. You have to use a larger size because the bag is thicker. We would crack a couple of eggs into the bag and mush it all up. Then we would add our fillings of choice like maybe onions, cheese, mushrooms, ham, etc. Then you place the bottom of the bag with the egg mixture into a pot of boiling water until the egg is cooked. You can eat out of the bag. Only dishes to clean is the silverware and you already have hot water from the pit the eggs were cooked in 👍🏼
That beef stroganoff looked easy & delicious! Bravo 👏🏻💜❤️ I love ❤️ watching all of your adventures. You find the good in everything. Complaining is part of life but you do it with class! Have a fabulous day, From Northern Virginia, next to Washington DC
Kara's peanut butter Ramen 1 Onion 1 green or red pepper 16oz mushrooms 2 cups of broth three Tbl spoons peanut butter ramen noodles cayenne pepper salt start by sautéing the diced onion, then pepper, then sliced mushrooms, add the broth and season, add the peanut butter and ramen noodles. If you have problems finding ramen noodles, buy 4-5 of the cheap instant ramen bowls and just take the noodles for your dish. Let it all cook until the noodles are done and eat! Love you guys. PS Garlic, I forgot four-five garlic cloves finely chopped.
No way to be remotely sad watching your videos!! Maybe before watching but never after…so delightful being allowed in to see a truly joyous couple! Ofcourse, laughter is like a medicine…no doubt that’s why y’all are continuously healthy! Thankful for this spoonful of medicine today!!
Ahh Gwen! That’s such a lovely thing to say 💛 thank you! It makes us so happy to hear that our videos can bring a smile to your face 🥰 thank you for your lovely comment and for watching!
I love Low Key Beans, when you play that smooth Jazz and just be domestic. AND We adore it when you complain because it makes you so British and shows you are real and most likely just like us. Love you Beans and that cute Baby Bump is killing me.
I loved seeing the English countryside, absolutely amazing! And I wished that I were sitting there in that little pub having biscuits & tea, in front if a fireplace on a chilly winters day! I could have spent all day there! But, I can’t imagine paying to enter a town, how un-hospitable!
Clovelly is so pretty but so steep to walk back up. The sledges are used to put their bins out as no bin lorry will fit down the street, so they have to pull their rubbish up to the top.
I'm pretty sure it's the lack of vitamin D. Over cast winters often made me miserable. But during the pandemic doctors encouraged taking vitamin D for immunity and inflammation benefits. Now with vitamin D 10,000 IU I'm happy every day no matter what the weather. Try it, prove me wrong Alex!!! That's a challenge for you mate.
AG1 Should help with that too as they apparently give you a years worth of Vitamin D - but remember your body cannot absorb it without A And K very key elements there people don't know or forget
I agree!! My dr even thought I was anemic by my symptoms and appearance. Nope! Vitamin D deficiency! Got on a high dose regimen and never felt so good in my life!
For someone like me who cannot afford to travel abroad, i get to see those wonderful places through your videos. Thank you for sharing for experiences. I really adore your vlog. God bless and safe travel always.
Greek beef stew (stifado) You can look up a recipe but it is basically a stew with pearl onions, tomato, red wine, garlic , allspice and serve over mashed potatoes. You can use any meat the name in Greek means game stew. The onions take out any gamey taste
With both of you laughing all the time, I bet your baby will be born laughing, no crying. Lol. It will be wonderful to have you both as parents. Will you adopt me. Lol.
I live in Perth Australia. It has the most sunshine of all major cities in Australia. Over 300 days a year. So a cloudy, wet, cold day looks beautiful. I yearn for that weather.
We're not sadd, We're going to Mexico tomorrow... if our flights okay...and they don't lose our bags! Wife and I always look forward to watching you Beans every Monday night.
We visited Clovelly many years ago, at that time there was no admission fee. It is such a beautiful little village, we have two prints hanging on our living room wall called “up along Clovelly” and “down along Clovelly”. Brings back great memories of that charming village.
When Alex said his breakfast sandwich was so beige I about died laughing. I often think that about our favorite winter comfort foods like chicken pot pie and sausage gravy and biscuits.
Fave one pot meal.. xx cook up a spag bog mix - however you normally do it Once cooked, pop into a large place (or whatever plate you will end up eating from) Grab yourself some fajita breads and a bag of grated mozzarella, Then start layering like a lasagne - spag big mix - cheese - fajita - repeat. Lid on and leave on low for a bit to let everything mix up Then slice like a cake and eat :) Yum yum :) Fellow camping Brit - I can cope with any weather apart from the in between stuff !!!! Give me howling winds and thunder and lightning- but who needs drizzle !!! No one !!! Love ya both x
You two are so much fun! And it's so nice to hear British English. I am Belgian, but my late dad was from Oxford, married my Belgian mom and lived here in Belgium for most of his life. I was thus raised bilingually (Dutch/English), so proper (British) English will always be my favourite 😊 Mind you, I have also lived 7 years at the Arctic Circle in Finland (Rovaniemi) and 7 years in Odessa, Ukraine. The stupid war forced me to come back to my home country Belgium. Not regretting it though, I have certainly found a second love for Belgium again ❤ As for one pot recipes, one thing I always loved was a mix of all kinds of stuff: Boil chopped up chicken breasts with some bouillon cubes, and add some pasta (I love the spirellis). Add some diced up potatoes as well. After a bit, you can add whatever else you like. I used to add onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, peas. Spice it up with some curry. When it's all tender, add cream and/or flour to make the liquid thicker. And enjoy! I loved this during Winter time 😊😋
"hamburger soup": brown some ground meat and onion, add broth (chicken, veggie, etc), add a bag of frozen veggies, whatever herbs you want (I usually use thyme and bay leaf...I'd add thyme to just about anything if I were allowed), add a can of diced tomatoes...let simmer til veggies are the consistency you want).
Your mushroom stroganoff looked delicious. A dish that I find fairly quick and easy to prepare and cook is bacon tagliatelle. It needs two pans though to cook the pasta separately to the rest but it only takes about 15 minutes to cook and ten minutes to prepare the ingredients 4 slices of bacon sliced and diced , frozen bacon is easier to cut as it’s not slimy. A couple of teaspoons of green pesto , a clove of garlic chopped, half a yellow or red pepper sliced into small pieces. A couple of sliced mushrooms. Half a pot of crème Fraiche, and some grated Parmesan cheese to stir into the sauce. Fry the bacon off with chopped garlic then add the mushrooms and peppers and cook until soft. Stir in a couple of teaspoons of green pesto and cook through until the pesto is cooked into the ingredients. In a separate pan boil 4 bundles of tagliatelle for around 12 minutes with a pinch of salt to season. A few minutes before the pasta is ready boil some frozen garden peas in the same pot as the tagliatelle or cook in the pan with the bacon and other ingredients. Carefully stir in half a pot of crème fraiche but don’t let it get really hot or it will split. Add the cooked pasta and stir to cover it with sauce and serve. Also add some grated Parmesan to the sauce and stir in to melt. Quick and tasty food and cheap to make
my current favorite (very simple, but very delicious & affordable) one pot meal: sauté chopped onion + chopped poblano pepper in a little coconut oil. Add garlic powder + ginger powder. Then add the flavor pack from one package of ramen (my favorite is soy sauce flavor.) Add chopped bell pepper + chopped tomato. Next, add the noodles from the package of ramen and water - not completely covering the ramen, just covering it about half way. Cook with the lid on over medium heat. Stir the noodles around after a couple minutes so both sides get submerged in water (they come apart easily after cooking for a little bit.) Next, add two slices of swiss cheese (I use dairy-free cheese, but I’m sure regular swiss cheese or any cheese you have on hand would be great.) Finally, stir in some garlic chili sauce and serve sprinkled with chopped green onions - seriously so easy and creamy and packs so much flavor!
One pot meal- can of pork n beans, 1/4 cup ketchup,1/4 cup brown sugar, dash mustard,2 cut up hotdogs. Mix all together and cook in a pot til heated up good and enjoy. Crackers are good with it.
I make this when I don't want to make a mess in the kitchen but I want a complete meal. I sauté yellow onion in olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, until golden and then add boneless, skinless chicken breast. I add a cup of white wine and once this is cooked off, I then add spinach, sundried tomatoes, cooked rice (I use the pre-cooked stuff as well), cream, and parmesan reggiano cheese. Add a bit more salt and pepper. I cook this down until it thickens a bit and there you go, you've got a meal. Takes 30 minutes max.
Really enjoy your content, you two are just lovely together , and yep too much dreary weather wears on the body and mind and spirit- I have to actively cultivate joy by literally imagining the feeling of joy! (complaining doesn't do it for this American) however, Alex if you make this dish for Emma, I predict you BOTH will be experiencing a lot of joy!!! 😉😂 Brazilian cod (fish) Stew Recipe - 🌸1 1/2 to 2 lbs of fillets of firm white fish such as halibut, swordfish, or cod, rinsed in cold water, pin bones removed, cut into large portions- I have also used salmon 🌸3 cloves garlic, minced 🌸4 Tbsp lime or lemon juice (used to soak fish in before cooking but also a total must during serving!) 🌸Salt & Freshly ground black pepper 🌸Olive oil 🌸1 cup chopped spring onion with the greens, or 1 medium yellow onion, chopped or sliced 🌸1/2 yellow and 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, de-stemmed, chopped (or sliced) 🌸2 cups chopped (or sliced) tomatoes 🌸1 Tbsp paprika (Hungarian sweet) 🌸Pinch red pepper flakes 🌸1 large bunch of cilantro, chopped with some set aside for garnish 🌸1 14-ounce can full fat coconut milk directions: In a large covered pan (such as a Dutch oven), coat the bottom with about 2 Tbsp of olive oil and heat on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook a few minutes, Add the bell pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and onion greens. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Lay the fish pieces on the vegetables, Pour coconut milk over the fish and vegetables. Bring soup to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. add more salt (likely), lime or lemon juice, paprika, pepper, or chili flakes to get the soup to the desired seasoning for your taste. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice or with crusty bread, or since I am low carb I add in riced cauliflower, which can be added with the onions and peppers- this is a very tasty dish that is super nutrient dense & I never tire of the taste😋
In that private village you are exactly right about the sleds they're for goods because it's so steep and cobbley and the fee is the control over tourism is the summer
Alex you are lucky to have Emma as your partner. She laughs easily 😂 Your videos are a joy to watch!. How perfectly suited to each other you seem! I wish you both health and happiness 😊
Another awesome video. You three are so much fun! Here ya go.... A few one pot/skillet meals. Sweet Potato Hash: In a large skillet, saute some diced or chopped sweet potato in olive oil until nearly but not quite fork tender. Then add some chopped onion , garlic, and zuchini and continue to saute with sweet potato until done and nearly caramelized. Add salt, pepper, and cumin then add some ground chorizo sausage or whatever sausage you've got and sear it off good. Push everything to one side of the skillet , lop in a little butter and crack a few eggs into the pan to fry. Mix it all up, toss in some cheese if you like and a splash of Cholula Hot Sauce. Smashing! Ribollita (Peasant Stew): Chop a couple carrot, an onion and a couple stalks of celery and toss in a pan with some olive oil to saute until translucent. Toss in a can of crushed tomatoes, a can of drained cannellini beans, some chicken broth or stock, a small wedge of parmesan, pepper, dried basil and oregano. Add some torn kale and crusty bread. Delish and so comforting! Posh Beans on Toast: To a pan add olive oil and butter, then add some broad beans or lima beans, peas, pearl onions, a little chopped garlic, a squeeze of lemon, some chopped parsley and green onion for flavor and color. Spoon onto a slice of crusty bread and crumble some feta over the beans. For Alex: Slap another piece of crusty bread on top and you've got a post beans on toast sandwich! lol Enjoy and as always, safe travels Beans! My best, LIsa G.
Here in Astoria Oregon on the coast we get a lot of grey,wet,gloomy days too, but when the sun is out, it's glorious! You two crack me up. Taco soup is good. 💜💙
Had the pleasure of visiting Clovelly with my best friend many years ago. That walk is a real workout. I believe the sleds outside the cottages were meant to be pulled by donkeys. Beautiful village. You two are adorable and I enjoy watching from Ontario, Canada.
The Mediterranean Dish has an amazing Turkish red lentil soup, easily done in one pot. I made a lot of substitutions, based on what I had, including onion for a large shallot, sweet potato for regular potato, and a spice-ish turkish spice mix for the aleppo pepper. Add in some crusty bread, and OMG, it's delish!
One pot meals?? Ramen is the ultimate! Buy a good quality ramen like Shin Ramen and then you can supplement with any leftover veggies, proteins and eggs cooked right into the broth. ANYTHING goes with ramen. You can't beat it for convenience, transport and preparation. The possibilities are endless. Oh and if you're worried about sodium content, just add more veggies into the mix and less of the seasoning packet. Taste as you go. It is so yummy and versatile. It never ceases to amaze me that a woman's body is capable of producing and carrying another life. Women were born to sacrifice and nurture. Emma, you are amazing!!!! Stay safe!!!!!
They say : "You can never go home again ". In your case Alec and Emma, it's the van. It gave you an opportunity to reconnect with family and familiar terrain. It's not always about the weather. You asked if we had any suggestions for one pot dinner recipes. The simplest is stir fry anything you have available and add some of your favorite oil and spices. Well done Alec for the wonderful meal you made. Harriet and I never miss a video. Sending much love 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
I love how your always laughing and find Joy in the little things. One pot meal I love is Polish sausage sauté in a pan cut up potatoes put those in the pan open two or three cans of green beans put those in the pan and left and simmer and pepper Delicious. Enjoy
Recipe please! That meal looked delish. Getting recipes from your subscribers is an excellent idea. It would be a great segment to your travel series. I suggest you watch the RU-vidr channel MAV that is also an outdoor/camping series. He also cooks meals on his channel inside his camper van and tries recipes his fans send in. I recommend an Instant Pot if you have the room. Love your channel BTW.
You should walk to Baggy point in that part of the coast. I absolutely love camping in the rain, researching or reading fiction with the rain pattering on canvas, steel or fibreglass. It’s so relaxing, the same walking with a good umbrella. I don’t like hot sticky days too hot to do anything. Fajitas can be great to make in one pot, take jars of soured cream guacamole and salsa either home made or shop bought. Place plates instead of pan lids and heat the wraps between them, one up one down. Just need peppers, onions and whatever else you want to make vegetable or meat derived versions. Take pre mixed spices.
Right Alex, as you asked I have a meal that is easy to prepare, easy to cook and maybe not so easy on Emma's internals and it is this : Buy a Turnip (Neep) , skin it and cut into smallish chunks and boil in salted water for about an hour till soft. But that is not the meal side of it, as you need 2 bowls or Pyrex deep dishes and into them large spoon 3 spoonful's of Rough Oatmeal. Add salt and black Pepper for taste, give it a swish round and ladle off as much of the turnip bree as you want. The more you have, the better the meal is. Stirring continuously so there are limited lumps , when the bree turns cloudy, spoon into your gobs and feel the heat internally slide down to your gullets. And that is it 2 satisfied well fed adults and the Neeps can be used for another meal the next night with dare I say sausages and mash or an alternative !!
I lived in Seattle for 22 years. My depression was horrible. I now travel full time to follow the weather in the US. I'm fortunate that I don't have to go far to find dependable sunshine. I think having sense of humor, as you both do, helps with not letting the gray weather get to you. Love your channel!
Love your videos so much, lots of lovely laughter and honesty. I love the idea of a beige sandwich, I know exactly what you mean!! I really love Clovelly, the sleighs are for the residents to fetch their shopping and transport things up and down as cars aren't allowed. Apparently they used to be pulled by donkeys but that's no longer the case. (By the way I believe it's pronounced Clo Velly not Clover lee lol). Keep up the good work, so many great adventures to come and, soon, a lovely new bean to join in with them 🥰
Peanut butter chicken! 1 onion 2 cloves of garlic Chicken thighs Bouquet garni Bay leaves Tomato paste Chopped tomatoes Peanut butter Sauté onion and garlic then add chicken thighs until lightly browned. Add tomato purée, bouquet garni, bay leaves and chopped tomatoes then cook on low/medium heat. When cooked through slightly shred the chicken thighs and add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter then just add the rice ! Total comfort food in one pot 😋 Love your videos and here’s to many more 😊
I can’t believe you’re not even at 300K subs yet. My goodness, your videos are funny, informative, educational, and just a darn good time. You two are so sweet together. Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait till the littlest bean arrives!
One pot meals are great. For the carb part of the meal, try wraps, cous cous (just boil a kettle), cook pasta in your one pot before cooking the main course then pour on boiling water and drain just before serving - same with rice and boiled potatoes.
Beautiful coastline! It reminds me of the Atlantic Canadian coastlines. Rugged beauty. And similar wet, maritime weather at certain times of the year. And the grey days certainly can lower the your energy levels. Those are definitely curl up by the fire, cook some warming meals and enjoy a cuppa hot tea days!
One Pot Chicken Orzo - chicken thighs with skin and bones (trim fat), salt/pepper, brown in butter until skin is good and brown. Take it out. In same pan, sautee portabello mushrooms sliced (or any mushroom), spinach and a bag of orzo. Fill up with Chicken broth or water or combo (chicken broth will be more flavorful). Put chicken back in skin up cover and cook until chicken is done. One pot Ground Italian Sausage (or Ground Turkey or Chicken) - sautee shallots/minced garlic until translucent. Then ground sausage/turkey/chicken whatever you prefer.... season with S/P and Italian seasoning... once it's no longer pink - add orecchiette (ear pasta cuz of the shape) by feeling amount.. then add chicken broth... cover and cook until pasta is done to desire. Add arugula (rockets) at the end. Grate parma cheese to finish. two of my go to recipes on our travels when we roadtrip. Enjoy! ~Lissa
I’ve seen the sledges being used by the locals in Clovelly on TV. Everything is brought in and out by sledge - even the rubbish. So eco friendly 😊🥰🏴
The sledges are for getting thing up and down, we were talking to the locals and they told us that when people move in the removal lorries can’t get down so they have to use the sledges to move furniture. Also if you want to buy a house there you have to go through an interview with the land owner and you can’t use them as holiday homes either xx
Beef stew is always a good one pot meal. Mac n Cheese (but you can add veg to it) If you have a sauté pan you could always do a stir fry. You could probably do this in a pot. I’ve just never tried that method. I like making cashew chicken: diced up boneless chicken thigh / breast Thinly sliced carrots Onion (white) - cut into bite size chunks Celery cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I also use the leaves) Minced garlic (2 cloves and of course use more / less depending on how garlicky you like stuff) Green bell pepper, cut into bite size chunks Sauté the veg in some neutral oil (like canola). Toss in the chicken. Add some soy sauce and black pepper. If you want heat, throw in a little diced red chili OR shake in some crushed red pepper. Make a corn starch slurry…a little warm water mixed with a spoonful (or two) of cornstarch. It’ll help thicken the juices in the pot / pan. When everything is nearly done, toss in some crushed cashews. I usually get the whole cashews with pieces and put them in a zip bag…then lightly tap with the full end of a knife. Can leave some whole if like. Lastly, taste it and adjust seasoning as needed.
The weather plays a huge part in how your day is. Here in Washington state during the winter it is the same way as the UK, but the veiws and amazing camping is well worth it.
1lb. Ground beef, browned in skillet; 1 can spicy diced tomatoes; 1 packet taco seasoning; 8 ounces spaghetti, broken into smaller pieces; 12 ounces water. Brown beef. Add everything, continue cooking, covered, until pasta is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Hi guys just found you and subscribed . After watching my first video I think your motto should be "BEAN THERE , DONE THAT" . Your little tour was fun for those of us who will only ever see these places through your lens . Thanks for sharing !! Cherryl from Canada
Oh yes, and a one pot meal…lentil stew is one of my favorites…add onion, garlic, herbs and seasoning, potatoes, carrots, or any veg you really like and to make it really thick and rich add bovril or marmite with a splash of vinegar at the end; can also have with rice (but then is 2 pots 😕) hope that inspires…😉
We here in the Pacific Northwest in USA have the same weather and reactions to it. Except that if we have dry sunny weather for too many weeks, we start whining about drying out and blowing away. Plus if the temperature goes over 80-85F we are melting and non-functional. 🥵 Love your videos. Stay safe and warm.
I live in the place in Canada you refer to, with the highest vertical tidal range in the world ( twice a day every 6 hours and a bit, the tide rises and lowers almost 50 feet). It happens in the Bay of Fundy which lies between the Canadian east coast provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The tides create a tidal bore ( the tide comes in fast as a rolling wave) since the coastlines of the Bay funnel all the water together to a point in Central Nova Scotia. Huge amounts of bay water funnel into a large river nearby where you can sign up with any number of water rafting companies to go rafting along the rough waves created by the incoming tides. It is a rare sight so tourists come twice a day to witness it. When the tide is low, you can walk on the ocean floor of the Bay. Fishing boats at wharves along the coast actually end up sitting on the ocean floor in some places when the tide is at its lowest. The Bay of Fundy has been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark World, a tourist destination which combines geology, culture, nature and local communities.
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. Chicken Breast, water, Sazon seasoning, chicken bullion, a little bit of italian seasoning, add potatoes, pasta, and whatever veggies you like. If you're vegan, substitute for tofu or other alteranatives. But definitely makes a great, hearty meal for cold winter days (or when you're under the weather). Freeze or refrigerate leftovers.
Hi Beans! A great one-pot meal that will cheer you up on a cold damp day is the anglo-indian mulligatwny soup. It's tasty, warm, healthy. There's a ton of recipes on internet, always take two or 3 and take the best elements that suit your taste. I'm very jealous of your british go-around, it's so beautiful. I like this "moody weather". We have some in eastern Canada but it's a short period between summer and winter.
when I was in the Army the worse the weather the happier I’d get the more miserable the lads got the bigger my smile got I think there’s something wrong with me 😂
My family loves "terrible" weather! It means no one else is out and about and we get all the things to ourselves! 😂 Clouds, fog, rain and snow give us a thrill! 😊
First time watching your videos sharing van life…I almost bought a narrowboat until an awful survey scuppered that…now looking at vans instead as another option…very funny and entertaining, thanks 😌🙏
Winters in Canada, I would give them up in a heartbeat. It hasn’t stopped snow since Thursday and on Friday it will be -28! Needless to say I’d move back to England even with the rain.
We are just back from a week in the Lakes. Mostly sunny and frosty cold so happy days. But 2 days of "UK Winter" and misery ensued. On the way home the sun came out again, happy days once more... As for one-pot meals, as a wilderness backpacker I pretty much live on them when away. Anything with rice, cous-cous, noodles or pasta is a candidate - chilli, curry, stews, bolognese...
Mexican Rice 1 pound ground beef 1 packet taco seasoning 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can diced tomatoes and green chiles 2 cups cooked rice Shredded cheese (as much as you like Brown meat add seasoning. Mix in soup, tomatoes, rice then cheese at the end. Easy one pot meal. Has been our go to for over 20 years.
My husband's grandma got it out of a magazine in the 90's. And it's great because you can switch it up to chicken or whatever cheese you want. When we were doing keto I would use cauliflower rice and heavy cream instead of soup. I hope you like it. It was supposed to be put in a pan and top with cheese and in the oven. As I got older and lazier, I just threw the cheese in at the end and called it a day... 😆 I hope you enjoy it.
I make a similar dish using a bag of frozen corn instead of the mushroom soup. Then top with sliced avocado, or guacamole, or sour cream, or some combo of said toppings.
Hi beans, the one stop for curry and a beer in toilet was hilarious. 🤣 A huge pan of stew is good, lasts a few days and tastes better the next day. Winter time I'm OK if it's cold, frosty or snow just not crazy about the rain. Yet summertime it's nice when it rains now and then. 🤣 and cools down. In uk we talk a lot about the weather. ❤
I love how much you too laugh with each other, I'm on my own now with 3 kids but watching you guys and some of my other favourite you tube couples really does make me smile!
One pot meals my favourite. Always start with onions, garlic add meat, tofu of choice, throw in some diced vegis, salt, pepper, curry, herbs, seasonings. Add boiled pasta, simmer. My favourite lately is spicy Italian sausage, take off the casing, then add pieces of the sausage to your onion and garlic, go from there.🇨🇦❤️add some white wine or vegi stock for a bit of liquid if needed.
Love your travels! You always make me smile! Here? In Fahrenheit - 17 Below zero, feels like 37 Below zero this morning.... HIGH is going to actually be above zero!! High of 4° !!!
When you live in a part of a country that doesn’t see a whole lot of rain and too much drought you absolutely learn to love the rainy days and appreciate them so much. I adore wet cool days
I am Really happy to see you again in this amazing video, I can’t believe you are going to be parents!! So happy for you!! Best Wishes from Colombia!!!
The Pacific Northwest of America is similar to England in the winter. We love it because it means we've arrived at the season for soup, reading books, and enjoying hot drinks. I highly recommend making ratatouille. Saute in a few spoonfuls of olive oil the following cut up veg: small onion, three cloves of garlic, sweet pepper, a peeled eggplant, one or two small zucchini, and three tomatoes. Add salt, pepper, torn up basil (or any herbs you like). Once the veg are well cooked and stewy, top with a salty cheese such as feta. Serve with bread. The leftovers are delicious eaten cold with crackers or spread on top of bread.
