Broken Lasagne

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 

Spaghetti Carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara

This recipe is so quick to prepare but it’s really important you do everything at the same time so it’s nice and hot when you serve it. In the main recipe I’ve included my take on a traditional carbonara but below I’ve also included a couple of variations which you can try if you want to either mix things up or bulk the recipe out further.

Souvlaki Style Chorizo and Halloumi Kebabs – 11sp

Souvlaki Style Chorizo and Halloumi Kebabs – 11sp

Halloumi is a summer BBQ staple for me and even though the weather this summer has been far from BBQ-able, that hasn’t stopped me needing my cheesy summer fix. These kebabs are great as they are so quick and easy to make. Simply chop, assemble, 

Jamaican Brown Chicken Stew

My hubbie and I love all things hot and so I’m always on the lookout for new spicy additions to our weekly menu. After visiting a food festival a few weeks ago and enjoying the most delicious  Jamaican brown chicken wrap I decided to give

Buffalo Chicken Taquitos – 12sp

A Taquito is something I had never tasted or even heard of before I went visited Mexico and since it has been a whole year since we jetted off, I thought it was time to come up with another recipe inspired by my time there. 

Melting Mozzarella Meatballs – 12sp

Melting Mozzarella Meatballs – 12sp

I love a good meatball dish and so when I started brainstorming ways to make them even more exciting, I knew I would have to give this one a go. Cheesy and gooey in the middle, baked to perfection in a lovely tomato sauce, these 

Gorgeous Green Fusilli with Bacon

Gorgeous Green Fusilli with Bacon

This delight of a dish involves hardly any cooking and the sauce  is so quick and easy (it takes around the same length of time to prepare as the pasta takes to cook). This is one of my favourite recipes as usually when you are trying to find low point pasta meals, you would stick to tomato based pastas as they are lower in points. This recipe however, is a nice low point tomato free alternative. Depending on how hungry I am I sometimes add an extra handful of spinach leaves whole at the end and let it wilt in the heat.

Paprika Pork

Paprika Pork

This is a really easy recipe and a proper winter warmer. It tastes lovely and creamy without being as naughty and its really filling. It’s really good to cook for just two people and as  you use tomato puree rather than chopped tomatoes so the
