Broken Lasagne
What started as trying out a tik tok trend has turned into one of my favourite quick and easy family meals. Some call it broken lasagne, some call it lasagne soup – whatever you want to call it, it tastes like lasagne but is made …
Creamy Tarragon Chicken
One of my husbands favourite meals when we go to an Italian Restaurant is Pollo Crema and so I’ve been promising him I’d make a healthy version that we could enjoy at home which would taste just as good but allow me to stay on plan. Tarragon is not something usually included in the dish but it’s a lovely addition to lift the flavour and add an element of freshness.

Steak, Brown Ale and Blue Stilton Pie
Much to my family’s disappointment, I’m just not a fan of Shepherd’s or Cottage Pie. Nothing to do with the taste or flavour, I just can’t handle the texture of mince with mashed potato for some reason!

The addition of the stilton to the mash is wonderful, it adds a lovely tang to what is a smooth and comforting pie topper. If you aren’t keen on blue cheese, simply leave this out.
Spiced Butternut Squash and Coconut Soup – 4sp
Whenever I go shopping I always buy butternut squash in one form or another. Whether it be pre spiralised, in a lasagne sheet, or in its natural giant form I just like the idea of having a 0sp carb in the house, just in case. …
Speedy Tomatoey Italian Meatballs – 6sp
Meatballs are one of my favourite go to quick and easy dinners as they take hardly any preparation and can be ready in under 15 minutes. These meatballs in particular are delicious with my other favourite at the moment, 0sp Butternut Squash Noodles, or Boodles …
Spicy Chicken Burgers with Gochujung Chilli Slaw – 4sp
Following on with my obsession with all things Korean, I created this recipe after a visit to our local food market where my hubbie indulged in a Korean Fried Chicken Burger. Keen to make my own healthier version, I ditched the deep frying and went for a much healthier griddle instead.
