After reviewing Jane Grigson’s book, English Food, how could anyone help but be hungry? I was going to cook this exactly by the book, but somebody had picked up crumpets, and I love crumpets. The way the cheesy mixture seeps and permeates the soda holes in the crumpets makes for a delicious lunch. And it took the same amount of time as a bacon sandwich, if you like your bacon crispy.Essentially, much like our cricket team, I’m stealing from the Welsh, and covering up for it by adding some Englishy Englishness.

One of my new go to's for lunch prep. It's so tasty, light and satisfying. You could also serve the chicken on top of rice or quinoa and that would be yummy. Recipe adapted from : sweetpeasandsaffron.com

Better than avocado toast! Two fresh ripe avocado slices on a piece of warm waffle, pepper sauce on top, a healthy breakfast, and the leftover avocado makes a great sauce that doesnt turn brown like guacamole does.

I like to have an assortment of dry rubs on hand. The smoked paprika and chipotle powder make this a keeper.

Put this on top of ANYTHING. Chicken, shrimp, fish, chips & salsa, or even better - Oysters.

I have gone 27 years on an avocado free life because I could just never get into them. You always hear about how good they are for you and what not, blah blah blah so I decided to be a brave girl and give it a shot in a way I felt would calm the flavour. This has LITERALLY turned into my favorite breakfast ever. So satisfying and spicy and just delicious!

Or simply spread with your favourite guacamole and top with cheese .

Had never had poached eggs before, and I love egg on toast. I had a loaf of sourdough bread and decided to put them on that. After seasoning, it was one of the best egg dishes I've ever put in my mouth. Since then, I've gotten better at poaching eggs, the ones pictured are too runny.

If you use larger shrimp with the tail on, you could serve as an appetizer

First time I heard of these, I was like, no way. So I made a batch, I've been hooked ever since. Simple to make, pretty quick, what's not to like. These are good, straight up, on a sandwich, in a salad, even on top of eggs. The best part, go ahead, get those hard avocados in the store, that's what you want for this. If you think it has to sit out for a couple days to ripen, that's the perfect texture for this.

Very juicy flavorful steak! Loved the butter on top too!
