Chicken Corn Chowder

First of all, buy some chicken; it doesn't matter if you buy a whole on or chicken breasts. I prefer chicken breasts because it is easier, and boiling the chicken is quicker. You will also need some vegetables for a good chicken broth. I usually get some celeriac, carrots, leek, parsley and an onion. Just peel and chop everything (not the chicken though) and put it in some water. Season with salt and boil for 45 minutes until the chicken is tender.
I fed the peels to my pet rabbit. He loved it :)
Easy Coleslaw

Essentially, you'll need only two things: carrots and white cabbage. The ingredients for the dressing will be available from the store cupboard: olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, flour, cream and an egg.

I have to admit that I used ready-made chicken wings, so you won't find a recipe here. Just put them in the oven until done.
Heavenly Brownies :)

This is chocolate heaven :)
And with only 8 ingredients they are very easy to make. Firstly, I thought about making a short video showing me making the brownies. You know, Jamie Olivier style and all. Then I decided against it and I will show the individual steps in a slide show.
I hope that this is not too boring, and hereby promise that I will make a video blog soon ;)
