Bank Holiday Monday: From Spade to Plate

We had a full house today. It was great as the swiss chard had bolted and therefore in need of removing and making space for the next crop.

I decided to make a cream of spinach soup with some garlic bread (only a couple of ingredients)
This basic bread recipe is quick and easy and is the basis for pretzels, pizza base and bagels as well.

For our main meal we made Swiss Chard with chickpeas and cousous.

For dessert we made a rhubarb muffin
