Cauliflower Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Everyone loves mac and cheese and everyone loves cauliflower cheese, so hey presto! Cauliflower Mac and Cheese! If you’re needing a tasty, comforting dinner this week, knock this easy and totally affordable dish up in no time! I used penne pasta for this, but just use any pasta you have in your pantry. I also…
Spicy Noodles with Char Siu Pork
You might have guessed by now, I eat a lot of noodles! They’re just so quick, easy and versatile! This dish is a little different as it uses a blend of curry powder and soy, creating a unique delicious flavour and taste. This recipe also includes some homemade char siu pork, which is so much easier…
Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe is super healthy and a great way to kick start your week on a cold, autumnal evening. As I usually do on a Monday, I like to use up left over chicken and make stock from the Sunday roast, so this is not only good for you but cheap to make too! You can…
Chicken with garlic, mushrooms and cream
This dish is very easy to cook and super delicious, perfect for this time of year on those cold, frosty evenings. I have categorised it under quick and easy dinners, as although it will take an hour to cook, it’s so easy as you just leave it to bubble away or to leave in your…
Carbonara
Everyone has had Carbonara, but have you actually ever made one at home? It’s literally one of the simplest dishes to make ever! It uses ingredients you will probably have in your house, everyone will enjoy (including children!) and can be cooked in 12 minutes – yes 12 minutes! It’s a quick and easy mid-week dinner…
Simple Chilli
I know everyone can cook a chilli! But my version of this all-time classic is super easy, tasty and packed with a whole load of veggies. It’s even better when you just basically throw everything into a pot and leave to cook! You can leave it in a slow cooker all day or simmer on a…
Ginger and Chilli Beef Noodles
I love getting leftovers to cook with. Surprising, as I used to hate it! But now, it seems to be a skill of mine, to be able to make leftover chicken or lamb from a Sunday roast to last more than one meal. It’s a great way to cook and to budget. Having a roast…
Thai salmon and vegetable curry
For a quick mid-week dinner, using a little shortcut is okay! No I don’t mean using a jarred sauce, but using a good quality Thai curry paste (you can get fantastic, authentic ones at your local Asian supermarket!), spiced up with your own flavourings and sauce is a great way to get a quick curry…
Lighter sticky honey chilli chicken and vegetable stir-fry
This dish is better than your local Chinese takeaway and is WAY lighter in calories. So the picture doesn’t look amazing – sorry! But when your hankering for something that tastes really good, has all your veggies and nutrients and is packed with flavour and don’t want to have the added calories or the cost as…
