It’s getting to the middle of the week and you need a bit of a flavour hit, but it needs to be simple and easy to get you over the hump.
Keep a little Gourmet Garden goodness in your fridge for just such a culinary emergency and you will always be able to put together something exciting and appetizing – something like this Fettucine with Grilled Chicken, Tomatoes, Basil and Parsley though I think we would swap the tomatoes for something else, snow peas probably.
Give your meals a mid-week makeover with this scrumptious pasta.

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write!
