It’s Valentines day! But as we went out Saturday night to celebrate instead and I managed to eat and drink my weight in food and alcohol, we’re not eating out or cooking anything too OTT and fatty (it’s only a Tuesday!). Nothing is more romantic then sharing delicious food and using your hands to eat…

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Skins with Cheddar, Spring Onion and Chorizo
Everyone has had normal potato skins, so tasty! But these sweet potato skins are even more delicious and packed with more flavour! So easy to make and a great, healthier alternative. You can use any ingredients you would like, cheese of course works well (baked potato, obviously it works!), use feta or cheddar or even…
Baked eggs with spinach and garlic toasts
Try this deliciously simple and quick baked eggs recipe for a meat free Monday dinner or as a lazy weekend brunch. I use plenty of garlic in this as I love it, for both the toasts and for the eggs themselves – so good! You could also add some sauteed mushrooms or sun blushed tomatoes…
Good old warm you up chicken and vegetable stew
So today is FREEZING! and I need something to warm me up inside and out. Nothing beats a simple, comforting but super tasty chicken stew/casserole (call it what you like!) to help you feel nice and cosy without breaking the bank. I pack it with plenty of veg to fill you up, but you could…
Homemade Pizzas
My partner’s favourite food is pizza and it’s also fast becoming mine! It’s something we cook ALL the time (and I’m not going to lie, it used to be our takeaway of choice back in the day!) We have a pizza oven which helps, but of which can only really be used in the summer…
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…
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…
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…
Simple Tortilla Toastie
This is more of an idea than a recipe! But it’s really simple and very tasty, especially for lunches, for snacking with friends or for when you’re a bit inebriated and you can’t really cook all too much. Instead of using bread as a usual toastie does, this crisps up deliciously and creates a sort…
