Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Bacon, Blue Cheese and Spring Onion Stuffed Jackets

Baked Potatoes are great. Filling, cheap and you can put almost anything on them (great for clearing out the fridge).

A recent thrifty thing of mine has been buying the big pack of bacon off cuts/ bits from the butchers (supermarket ones aren't so great) it's only £2 a pack and it lasts forever!
But if you're veggie or don't eat bacon, this recipe is also very tasty without!

So you will need:

3 spring onions
2 handfuls of bacon, (snip it with scissors into bite size pieces)
1/2 a pack of blue cheese (approx g)
2 big baking potatoes, or 3 medium ones ( I used 3 medium ones)
heaped teaspoon of cream cheese

prick the skins on the potatoes and cook them in the microwave for about 10 mins or until they're soft all the way through. Slice through lengthways and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Arrange the skins onto a baking tray (pre-heat the oven to 180°c)

Cook the bacon strips in the frying pan until crispy and add to the spooned out potato.
Mix the crumbled blue cheese in with potato and snip in the spring onions. Add the cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Spoon it back into the potato skins and cook for ten minutes or until they're starting to brown on top.

Serve with a big handful of peppery salad leaves or dark green leafy veg

Enjoy!
