How do you fancy lunching on my latest recipe Pumpkin Pasta with Rosemary & Walnuts tomorrow? Yes? Then head on over to the blog to check it out. It’s incredibly easy to make and can be on the table in about 20 minutes start to finish! You can’t ask for better than that when your tummy is growling. Plus it’s made from scratch so you know exactly what has gone into it. Nothing is better than an easy recipe for a home cooked lunch that screams autumn. Add a lightly dressed Kale & Fig salad for the win! 🧡💚🧡

When it’s cold and wet we want comfort food and this unctuous pumpkin pasta with rosemary and toasted walnuts hits the spot. Velvety smooth pasta topped with crunchy walnuts ticks all the texture boxes. Recipe coming soon to #tarasbusykitchen .

There is something so special about going out for lunch on a Sunday. Yes, it’s great not having to cook and wash up obviously but it’s more than that. Being with your friends and family, catching up on the previous week’s news, sharing laughter and of course eating delicious food does us all the world of good.

It’s a proven fact that eating together brings you closer together, strengthens ties and builds better relationships. This, in turn, has a knock-on effect creating better self-esteem from a sense of belonging. It’s a win-win. So with this in mind, I headed out to meet my friend @chloeuptonstudio for a late lunch at @comptoirlibanais in @exeterqueenst a few weeks ago. Head on over to the link in my bio to be easily transported to Tara’s Busy Kitchen & Other Stories to read my review. (Gifted)

How do you like your muffins? Iced, un-iced, warm from the oven.. ? Decisions, decisions. One thing I do know is that I always have to have a cup of tea alongside. I am a bit of a tea-a-holic if that’s a thing. There is something so comforting about hugging a mug of piping hot tea first thing in the morning and that last cup before bed. Not forgetting the numerous cups in between that bring a smile to my face literally every time I bring the cup to my lips. If like me you fancy a sweet treat with your cuppa mid morning than you can’t get better than my Spiced Pumpkin Muffins at this time of year. The recipe is over on the blog so head on over and check it out. #tarasbusykitchen .
