So you’d expect you can’t really have this more than your takeaway treat? Wrong! ‘Treat’ yourself to these absolutely delicious noodles, that are LIGHTER, using lean cuts of beef, only…

Sweet and sour noodles
I love a stir fry – they’re quick, easy and healthy! What’s not to like? These noodles are a healthy take on a takeaway classic, giving you all the flavour of sweet pineapple, juicy chicken and sharp sour from fresh lime, making for a perfect sweet and sour combo! Add in some cashew nuts and…
Sesame chicken noodle salad
I don’t know about you but I get pretty fed up of lunches in the work week. I find my choices get quite boring if I make lunch myself – salad, sandwich or soup, again and again. Even when I decide to go out and buy my lunch, it can A) get very expensive B)…
Easy, homemade salt and pepper chips
Want to make a takeaway staple at home? Try these SUPER easy but oh so tasty salt and pepper chips and I promise, you will never order them from a takeaway again! I use frozen oven chips (yes, really!) to make this dish less faffy and easy to do on a Saturday night, so you’re…
Tandoori chicken wraps with pickled red onions and a cucumber and mint raita
I love the sort of meal where you have loads of different, tasty fillings laid out in front of you and you can make up your own tasty bite! Fajitas, Peking duck, fresh Thai spring rolls; they’re all delicious! Wraps are great things as you can pack in loads of flavour with many different sauces, salads,…

Juicy chilli chicken, cashew nut, pepper and pineapple noodles
Another noodle dish – sorry! I just absolutely love them. They’re so quick, delicious and a great way to get loads of goodness in. These noodles are packed with veggies and flavour, giving a nice contrast between the spicy chilli and sweet pineapple and the soft, juicy chicken and crunchy cashew nuts. Recipe (serves…
Crispy Salmon with Sweet Potato and Vegetable Thai Curry
Another quick and easy dinner packed full of goodness! Instead of serving this curry with rice, I just put sweet potatoes in the curry to make it substantial and very tasty. Add in a few peanuts and other vegetables and there you have it! You could have the curry as it is, but topping it…
Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai
Pad Thai is super delicous! And much easier to create at home that you think. You just need to make sure you have the right store cupboard ingredients in your pantry and you can make this whenever you like! The essential ingredients are fish sauce, tamarind paste, peanuts, rice noodles (or rice sticks) and lime….
Prawn Wonton Soup
I’ve been a bit quiet over the last couple of weeks – sorry! I’ve been taking a well earned break and enjoying Christmas! So here we go 2017! In my opinion, January is the worst month of the year – the “diet” starts, money is tight and I’m attempting a dry January! Ekk! To help…
