Do you have any ramekins? I would make gooey chocolate puddings;

125g chocolate (usually dark, but white and milk would work too, i use white myself)
125g unsalted butter
3 large eggs
150g caster sugar
35g plain flour

Break the chocolate into small pieces, dice the butter and put them in a bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water to gently melt. Whisk every now and then until both are perfectly melted.
In another bowl gently whisk the eggs and stir in the sugar and flour.
Gradually and gently whisk the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Allow the mixture to rest a while – it will happily sit for 3 or 4 hours.
Once you are nearly ready for pudding set the oven to 200.°
Rub the insides of the ramekins with butter and dust with flour. Divide the mixture between the 5 ramekins and put them on a baking sheet.
Bake them for 10 – 12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are nearly firm and cracking a little but you can still see a spot of the molten center.

Great for kids - and big kids too but they are so simple and quick to make.



Or you could always make mini cocolate cheesecake using the digestives as a base and chocolate philly, eggs and melted chocolate swirls!

I have lots of red peppers, some celery, pretty good storecupboard essentials and a tub of creme fraiche!

Haven't a clue what to cook.

Any ideas?

What about making a spaghetti sauce using creme fraiche, tomatoes and roasted red peppers, onion (possibly some celery) and garlic?

Or, a roasted red pepper soup--use a bit of the celery which will add flavour, and add some tomatoes (tinned are fine) for bulk. Add chilli flakes for heat and use the creme fraiche swirled on top.

Actually, I like the past idea better but thought I would give you another idea.

Thank you! Have 5 peppers so might manage both (pasta today, soup tomorrow).
