On rainy days, sitting down in front of the fire with a bowl of thick, warm, comforting soup is such a treat. This chowder, however, really is a meal in itself, and comes together pretty quickly. If you want to add even more flavor, you can use fresh corn and use the cobbs to make a milky, flavorful stock. Should you choose to use frozen or canned corn, this soup is ready in under 20 minutes – perfect for a mid-week supper.

SPICY TUNA & OLIVE QUESADILLA
This is such a yummy and quick quesadilla to make! The crunchiness of the tortillas gives way to a sumptuous, creamy, soft and spicy filling. Feels like it’s laden with calories, but actually is pretty lean on the calorie front. I usually just slice it up and eat it like a pizza for lunch – and sometimes serve it alongside a salad to make a more substantial evening meal.

So – when I’m feeling like I want something that is quick to prepare, yet tastes indulgent, I make this tasty dish….

Supermarkets in the US spray their produce with water every 20 minutes or so. It means they look good at the time – but by the time you get them home and use them, not so much. I really wish they wouldn’t do that. Well – this time, they won me over with this gorgeous-looking cabbage!…
