Simple and in Season

Published on May 3, 2015 by Elizabeth 21 Comments

Join a thriving community of home cooks who love to share their seasonal creations.

Simple and in Season is a monthly food blogging event by the lovely Ren over at Ren Behan where you are invited to link up any of your seasonal recipe posts – anywhere in the world! I am delighted to be guest hosting the challenge this month. Join a thriving community of home cooks who love to share their seasonal creations! Bookmark recipes for later use if the produce used isn’t in season where you are.

Each month, there will be a round up of all the entries and they are also promoted on the community Simple and in Season Pinterest board.

Use the hashtag #SimpleandinSeason on Twitter and I’ll re-tweet any that I see!

GUIDELINES

  • All you have to do is come up with a dish using any seasonal produce you like (savoury or sweet) post it on your blog, add a link to this post mentioning Simple and in Season and linking to www.renbehan.com and then manually add the link to your post in the box on each month’s launch page (click the badge on my Blog sidebar to find the current host)
  • A round up post featuring all the recipes entered will be posted at the beginning of each new month.
  • You can take inspiration from anywhere – adapt a recipe from your favourite cookbook, try something from a magazine, make up your own creation or share a family favourite. The usual rules apply when using someone else’s recipe, please either get permission from the author to post it or adapt it in some way stating how/why you’ve changed it.
  • Include any seasonal produce you fancy including fruit, veg, herbs, meat or fish.
  • Link as many recipes as you like. You can link posts entered into other blog events or carnivals as long as it involves a seasonal food item (and fits in with their rules).
  • The linky-up is open to anyone, anywhere, and although it will be nice to feature as much British produce as possible, it will be interesting to see what’s in season elsewhere.
  • By entering your link, you are giving me permission to add your photograph to the round-up. I will link back directly to your post when I include you.
  • If you have questions or problems, email me or leave me a comment in the comment box at the bottom of the post.
  • If you are on Twitter, tweet your link adding the hashtag #simpleandinseason or add me @TangoRaindrop and I will re-tweet it.

    Thanks Elizabeth for hosting this month. I think you are going to be extra busy as it is national vegetarian week and some of us are posting every day! I hope that’s okay

    Oh dear, Mr Linky said “oops” and now I can see why, he’s posted my entry twice – can you delete one please? I can’t see a delete button

    Love this idea! I’m obsessed with roasted butternut squash at the moment, although my recipe os pretty simple. Pierce with a knife, and microwave for 6 mins, then cut in half, rub with a little olive oil and roast for 40 mins on 200c. Cut in to cubes, and roll in seed mix then eat dipped in sour cream:) YUMMY!!!!

Instagram post 2196703519799623185_694267923 #ad This Christmas, why not impress your dinner guests with a showstopping Turkey Wellington recipe with cranberries and toasted hazelnuts - it's super easy to make, and best of all you can prepare it in advance! So all you need to do Christmas morning is pop it in the oven, and open a bottle of @yellowtailuk Jammy Red Roo. Jammy Red Roo is [yellow tail]'s most fun, festive red wine, and it pairs perfectly with turkey. You can find the recipe and a full-length recipe video on my YouTube channel; link in profile. [yellow tail] is all about bringing happiness to your Christmas table, with wines to be enjoyed with the food you like. [yellow tail] is offering one of my UK followers the chance to win a £50 Waitrose voucher so you can buy the ingredients to make this recipe and try this wine. To enter, simply leave a comment below and tag a friend who you would like to share a bottle of festive Jammy Red Roo with! Make sure you’re following me and @yellowtailUK, and all entries must be 18+. The winner will be randomly selected on the 16th of December. Remember to always drink responsibly. #PartnersinWine @YellowTailUK #turkey #Christmasturkey #Christmasfood #wine #recipe #festiverecipe #TurkeyWellington #christmas #giveaway #christmastime #christmasparty #christmastime #christmasdinner #turkeydinner #redwine #turkeyseason #turkeystagram #redwinelover #redwinetime #redwines #recipeshare #recipeideas
Instagram post 2196622435497804197_694267923 Hands up, who else wants to run away from it all and go live on a boat or in a van? This beauty is the Agnes Kay II owned by @agneskay_charters and one of the (many!) projects I’m working on right now involves this boat as a venue for an epic adventure trip next summer. This boat is my happy place - all I need to worry about while on board is making cups of tea and tying ropes. The simple life. #boatsofinstagram #agneskaycharters #caledoniancanal #visitscotland #scotland #scotspirit #outandaboutscotland #yourscotland #scotland_insta #boat #canal #boat #fishingboat #adventurethatislife #explore_scotland #explore #exploremore #getoutsideandplay
Instagram post 2190922388793873030_694267923 #ad No Christmas cookie decorating skills? No worries! Just whip up a batch of gingerbread cookies (clickable recipe link in bio!) using the @brevilleUK HeatSoft hand mixer, and decorate them with ugly Christmas sweaters! All you need to do is to make some easy Royal Icing, pipe your sweater shape onto your easy homemade gingerbread cookies, and then decorate with some Christmas themed sprinkles. The Breville HeatSoft hand mixer, with its softening technology, heats cold butter to room temperature 12x faster too, so there's no need to wait for your cold butter to come to room temperature for making the cookies. It was awarded the 2019 Good Housekeeping Institute approved logo in 2019 for being a 'useful addition to any kitchen'. A perfect gift idea for any bakers on your Christmas list this year! #12bakesofChristmas #enhancingtheeveryday #christmascookies #gingerbread #uglychristmassweater #giftideas #christmasgiftidea #baking
