A truly quick and tasty breakfast, they take just 20 minutes to make and each serving contains 32 grams of protein! I created this recipe for my daughter, a talented and dedicated powerlifter. Her challenge? Make pancakes without flour (the only dry ingredient being whey protein powder), and make them high in protein, tasty, fluffy, and non-dry. Challenge accepted! This is one of those recipes that required several attempts until we were both happy with the result....

You can serve this delicious salmon pasta on its own or with a side of sauteed or steamed vegetables, and garlic bread to make it a complete, balanced meal. Easy salmon pasta recipe I am all for a quick and easy 30 minutes meal, especially during the weekdays. This salmon pasta is one of those meals that is really simple to make but tastes like a million dollars just like this canned tuna pasta....

Ready in just 30 minutes, it makes the perfect lunch and is also wonderful as a light weeknight dinner. The first time I made this recipe, I wanted to make soup, but I wanted it to be easy. Truly easy! I didn’t feel like sauteing shallots, cooking tomatoes, peeling, pureeing, straining… It’s not that complex recipes are bad. It’s just that I usually don’t have the patience for them. This soup is truly easy to make and it’s so good!...

Crispy and fluffy on the inside, roasted potatoes make a great side dish to your Sunday chicken roasts, thanksgiving turkey, or perfect leg of lamb roast with gravy. Ingredients needed Yay! This is a one-ingredient recipe, no additional oil needed and you can season with salt and black pepper if desired. Most time, the potatoes already come seasoned. Frozen roast potatoes: this would also work for cubed potatoes or fat chips and French fries....

Serve a side dish to this herby roast chicken, sweet baked potato slices, thanksgiving turkey, or perfect leg of lamb roast with gravy. Why you should air fry frozen yorkshire pudding It takes about 5 minutes to cook Yorkshire pudding from frozen in the air fryer depending on the size. It is convenient and saves time rather than making it from scratch. Don’t get me wrong, homemade is the best but you can also get some delicious ones in the supermarket that are made with really good ingredients....

There’s an enormous amount of kale hidden in amongst all that buttery, garlicky rice…. This is a terrific two-in-one side dish that will pair with almost anything and keeps for days! A kale recipe that’s totally scoff-able Kale is one of the nutritious plant foods in the world, and this Garlic Butter Kale Rice is a fantastic way to incorporate a LOT of kale into a dish that’s so tasty, even kale haters love it....

Do you ever think about cooking dinner in terms of ROI (return on investment) - or is that just me?? Well if you do, this one totally hits the spot! Lets have a look at this a little further: Meals that don’t have a good ROI: Take ages to prepare yet and either don’t taste great, or don’t taste any better than a shop bought version (homemade puff pastry would fall into this category for me) Take ages to prepare, and the kids moan and push half of it to the side of their plate (grrr) Ingredients cost a lot of money, and it tastes ok (or worse) Lots of bowls, pans and dishes used to prepare the meal, and it tastes ok (or worse) - there’s a lot to be said for tasty one-pan meals...

Gingerbread Men Is it too early to get into Christmas baking? I think not. And is there any cookie more Christmas-y than Gingerbread Men? I KNOW not! Smells like Christmas, tastes like Christmas, looks like Christmas! You’ll love these Gingerbread Men. You can actually really taste the ginger and spice flavour. They are lovely and moist inside, and you can make the dough months in advance – super handy to bake up fresh when the necessity arises!...

I like to use dark chocolate, pecans, pistachios, and dried cranberries. But you can use whatever you like and happen to have on hand - it’s a very flexible recipe. Dark chocolate is amazing. 🍫 Of course, it’s an acquired taste, and indeed, many learn to love it as they get a bit older. It’s wonderfully rich and intense, and it’s definitely more “chocolaty” than “milky” or “sugary.” I love all kinds of dark chocolate treats (this homemade chocolate is wonderful)....

Super-easy to make, and so very satisfying! Paneer – Fresh Indian cheese Paneer is a fresh cheese that is a common ingredient used in northern Indian (as well as other nearby countries’) cooking. Perhaps most well known is Palak Paneer, the iconic green spinach curry served with golden pan-fried paneer! These days, you can buy paneer at large grocery stores in Australia such as Coles and Woolworths. But it’s much harder in texture and not a great product....

Japanese Slaw – Chargrill Charlie’s copycat This recipe was requested by a reader. I was happy to oblige because although I find the Chargrill Charlie’s chicken so-so, their salads are actually pretty good! In fact I’ve done another before, a copycat of their famous Green Bean Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing. So this recipe is a copycat of the Chargrill Charlie’s Japanese Slaw, named as such because the base salad is made using finely shredded cabbage and carrots like western Coleslaw but with the addition of seaweed salad and edamame all tossed with a sesame soy dressing....

It’s ready in just 30 minutes, and the combination of sour cream, Dijon, gruyere and parmesan is absolutely marvelous. As versatile as potatoes, cauliflower readily absorbs the richness of cream and cheese. It is thus elevated from merely a tasty veggie into a true delicacy. Of all the many ways to prepare cauliflower, this creamy gratin is definitely one of my favorites. Granted, adding sour cream and gruyere cheese to almost anything would make it taste good!...

Made with just five ingredients, they are easy and fun to make, and they last for several days in the fridge. If I had to pick my favorite keto dessert, it would probably be cheesecake. I love chocolate as much as anyone, but there’s something so creamy and delicate about cheesecake! I find it irresistible. The good news: it’s very easy to adjust cheesecake and make it keto-friendly. There’s no need to convert white flour to low-carb flour, because cheesecake (at least the filling) does not typically contain any four!...

A couple of these chocolates with espresso are my favorite way of finishing a good low-carb meal. This extra-dark chocolate is so good! I usually reach for Lindt 90% which is excellent. But this version is even darker and has a wonderful subtle coconut flavor. And the chopped nuts enhance it even more. Two of these chocolates with an espresso after a meal are a wonderful treat and just what I need to remind myself there really is no reason to feel deprived on a low-carb diet....

They contain just five simple ingredients and are ready in about an hour, and this includes the time it takes for them to cool. I love coconut. I love it fresh! One of the highlights of a recent trip to Hawaii was enjoying slices of sweet, fresh coconut served at the hotel’s breakfast buffet. I also like recipes made with coconut, and this is one of my favorites. I make these keto coconut macaroons every year for Passover....

Try it fresh out of the oven with a little sweet butter… it’s amazing. And leftovers are great too! You can either refrigerate them for a few days or freeze them for several months. When I can’t stop after one slice of something, I know I’ve made something good. And when I made this bread for the first time, I had three slices. 😳 That was last year, and I have made it many times since....

This post was created in partnership with PGI Welsh lamb. All opinions are my own. Last year Chris and I spent a fantastic couple of days down in south Wales, learning all about lamb. We visited the Salt Marshes at Gower Salt Marsh Lamb and made this delicious slow roast shoulder of lamb with it when we got back home. Now we’re working with Welsh lamb again!You may not notice, but we do very little brand work....

You’ll be surprised how many of the spices you already have for this Lamb Koftas recipe – they’re pantry standards. Stuff these in warm pita breads with a fresh Cabbage, Carrot & Mint Salad and a side of Pilaf with Dried Nuts and Fruit or Mejadra (Spice Lentil Rice) to create your own Middle Eastern banquet. Lamb Kofta recipe Middle Eastern food is one of my favourite cuisines because I’m all about big flavours, and the heavy spice flavouring of Middle Eastern dishes like these Koftas, Chicken Shawarma, Lamb Shawarma and Doner Kerbabs really hits my sweet spot!...

We’re having Christmas dinner at my sister’s house this year, and I’m looking forward to spending time with the family and eating lots of lovely food (best hide those Quality Street sis!). But… I’m still cooking a Christmas turkey at home. It just wouldn’t feel festive enough if I can’t spend the days after Christmas day traipsing back and forth to the kitchen to make turkey sandwiches with stuffing and cranberry sauce, or to nibble on those leftover bacon-wrapped chipolatas....

You know when you see a recipe for a fast, fabulous appetiser but when you read the recipe, the ingredients cost $30 involving things like a fillet of wild caught cedar smoked Alaskan salmon (don’t you dare think of getting less than the best!) and 5 different types of herbs? I see recipes like that in gourmet magazines and I so want to be that kind of person who can spend a small fortune to be able to make gourmet food fast....
