Chicken Parmesan Chicken parmesan is one of those foods that people assume is difficult and time consuming, or fattening; wrong! I have made this a few time recently and had it on the table in under an hour; including preparing the tomato sauce. Also I have kept the fat and calories to a minimum by not breading or deep frying the ...

Meal Plan Week 64
Meal Plan Week 64 Isn’t it amazing; time flies. Things that are important one day get pushed to the back burner the next. Pardon the pun 🥰 I absolutely love sharing my Weekly Meal Plans and yet I haven’t posted on in years. That’s right... years! Having a plan in life takes a lot of pressure off. Maybe when you know what you’re making ...
Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla
Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla I don’t know about you but a lot of the time my meals are inspired by the ingredients I have in my fridge. In my silly head I’m on Chopped, the entrée round!!! Here, for this recipe I had some leftover tortilla shells from my Beef Burrito recipe and some chicken leftover from my Creamy Spicy Blackened Chicken Pasta ...
Loaded Beef Enchiladas
Loaded Beef Enchiladas I’m sure every family has one dish or cuisine that everyone can agree on. For our family that cuisine is Mexican but more specifically Tex-Mex. We all love tacos, burritos, nachos and now in addition to loaded chicken enchiladas, we love this dish ❤️ Also, not to tease but I have a beef burrito bowl recipe coming ...
Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings This is a fantastic recipe from a few years ago... I love taking really naughty pub food and making it practically guilt free, you still need a little restraint here, portion control and not eating the skin is key (sorry!). ...
Pasta with Cremini Mushrooms, Shrimp and Asparagus
Pasta with Cremini Mushrooms, Shrimp and Asparagus This is a recipe I shared a few years ago. This is an easy, elegant dish that is perfect for a hectic weeknight... I wanted to share it again :) I love this pasta; it has a gentle sauce and is loaded with veggies and lean protein. The cremini mushrooms give off incredible flavour and taste ...
Sichuan/Szechuan Shrimp
Sichuan/Szechuan Shrimp I thought it was ‘Szechuan’ but I was wrong; it’s Sichuan, well it’s also Sichuan. This is a really spicy stirfry sauce with an awesome balance of sweet and savoury using everyday ingredients. Oh, and it comes together in minutes making this a great weeknight meal. A recipe for the classic super spicy stirfry ...
Classic Shrimp Stir Fry
Classic Shrimp Stir Fry I am a sucker for a great stir fry! The more veggies, the better - crispy, crunchy deliciousness 😋 On this particular day I wanted a sauce like teriyaki but not teriyaki, you know what I mean 🤷♀️🤗 This is how I did it: In a deep pan, preheat the oil on high. When it’s hot (it will ripple) add the ...
Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese
Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese This is literally a "dump and go" dinner that can be made ahead of time and then put in the oven whenever you're ready! I don't like using the word "dump" to describe food. ...
Spicy Burger Sauce
Spicy Burger Sauce This is a spicy kick to my rendition of the incredible Big Mac sauce. There. I said it; I love Big Macs. Always have. Always will. They’re delicious. Only problem? They’re not too good for your waistline although in terms of fast food, I think McDonald’s is one of the healthier options out there. So here I’ve taken my favourite ...
Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies
Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies This is has been my go-to Christmas cookie recipe for years! I have no idea why I haven’t posted it sooner. I’ve made the cookies extra festive with the addition of the melted chocolate. Originally posted on 10 December, ...
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini I made a tetrazzini recipe a few years ago and when I looked back at it I decided I wanted to make it in a completely different way. Here I've made the 'cream' sauce with milk and poached a very lean turkey breast to include in the casserole. My other recipe was amazing but man, this one ...
