It’s very easy to make - it’s ready in about 20 minutes - and the leftovers keep well for several days. This cabbage side dish is one of my favorite vegetable side dishes these days. It’s just so very flavorful! Another good reason to make it often is that it’s VERY easy to make - it’s literally ready in minutes. In fact, sometimes I double this recipe to make intentional leftovers since they last so well and are just as tasty on the fourth day as they were on the first....

This recipe was sponsored by Essential Cuisine stock – Tastes just like homemade. After cooking two turkeys already this month, and knowing we’re going to be having at least a week of turkey leftovers after the big day, I thought it would be a good idea to get some red meat in there. Slow cooked… ..tender…. ..caramelized…… ..chunks of beef short rib to be precise. What’s not to love about all of those words!...

Yeah, this cake. It’s a bit over the top isn’t it. Even though I’ve been at this blogging thing for over 3 years now, I’ve never actually made a proper layer cake for the blog. Chris made one (his infamous rainbow cake with vimto buttercream and fizzy rainbow belt), but not me! This one came about because I’d been testing a recipe for Neff, and I ended up with three sponges leftover....

This recipe is 3 years overdue. Really. I gifted this exact Cookie Mix in a Jar to friends 3 years ago. And every year come Christmas, I get harassed by my darling friends for the recipe. Finally! I’m sharing it!!! I wasn’t hoarding it. Really and truly. I just kept forgetting. 🙂 I think everyone has one of “those” friends in their lives who has everything. You know who I mean, don’t you?...

Use any beans you want. Serve it as a side, stuff into tacos, pile onto nachos. Lasts for days – think meal prep and work lunches! Cowboy Bean Salad “Bean Salad” just sounds so dull. But stick the word “Cowboy” in front of it, and suddenly it sounds so much more exciting. Right? Same dish, different packaging. Age old marketing trick! 😂 Though actually, this is a riff on a salsa dish known as Cowboy Caviar in the US....

Ready in just 15 minutes, you can make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a few days. One of my favorite lunches is some kind of seafood salad stuffed in a vegetable. Some of the recipes I make most often include tuna salad, salmon salad, and smoked salmon mousse, which is admittedly a bit more on the fancy side, but delicious and very easy to make....

Oh – and only 400 calories a serving. And you know my portions aren’t teeny tiny! Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta I know this is a rather different way to make a sun dried tomato pasta, but bear with me – it works, it’s super simple and there is logic to my madness. And it’s darn tasty! I’ve made sun dried tomato pasta before by just by stirring chopped up bits of sun dried tomato through a cream based sauce....

My mother makes an incredible Japanese pasta bake called Makaroni Guratan, which is basically Macaroni Gratin pronounced with a Japanese accent. It is soooo typical of the Japanese to change the spelling of English words to the way Japanese pronounce it. It’s an endless source of amusement for me! As the name implies, it is macaroni baked in a classic french “gratin” style with a creamy white sauce made from a roux....

Let me show you how to make the best fish sauce for cod or any other fish at home from scratch using this step by step guide with a video. What is parsley sauce Parsley sauce is basically a bechamel sauce with chopped parsley. It uses the same ingredients as bechamel sauce. It is creamy and delicious, popularly served with cod, salmon, haddock, ham or any type of white fish....

You would also be saving on money when you make yours at home from scratch, you do not have to worry about any jargons on the label that you can’t pronounce....

What is hunters chicken Hunters chicken is a British pub classic that is made with chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, it is then topped with melty cheese and BBQ sauce. It is a dish that is relatively easy to make and is also budget-friendly. One of the reasons I love making hunters’ chicken as a weeknight dinner is because of how easy it is and you can literally make it all in one pan or slow cooker....

And while it practically begs for some crusty bread for dipping, you could easily enjoy it with thick slices of homemade almond flour bread. I find that a lighter, egg-based dinner, is wonderful. Especially in summer. One such dinner that I make quite often is this tasty dish of a baked avocado egg. This recipe is another one that I like to make and that my family greatly enjoys. Shakshuka (pronounced shahk-shoo-kah, emphasis on the middle syllable) is a middle-eastern dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce....

The brown butter sauce is exquisite, and if you’ve never made it before, you’ll be surprised to see how simple it is to make. Sole is a mild fish with a delicate texture and flavor. So when you cook it, you definitely don’t want to overwhelm it with lots of spices and ingredients. That’s why I love this simple, delicious sole meunière recipe that uses just a little butter and lemon to enhance the fish’s naturally delicate flavor....

It’s got fruit in it, so I’m giving it a 5 out of 10 for healthy. Sometimes I just like to serve my fruit with marshmallow fluff, mini pancakes (that’s what Lewis calls blinis) and chocolate. A cute little bite sized party food for Christmas or New Year, you can make the blinis ahead, and assemble them before serving. You can actually make the whole thing ahead of time if you like, but the chocolate will set - and I like my chocolate warm and melty!...

Made a turkey and want a gravy? Use my Gravy for Turkey recipe! Gravy This gravy recipe tastes like what you get in those tubs of KFC Potato and Gravy. Those of you who abstain from all forms of fast food may not know what it tastes like. But all you need to know is that it’s everything that you’d expect from KFC – reliably tasty, well seasoned, can make anything delicious!...

Green Bean Salad This is a salad I like to make when I’m planning a large menu ahead because I can prepare most of it in advance then there is very little prep on the day. The beans can be cooked a day or two ahead, the dressing made and onion chopped. Then the only thing that needs to be done on the day is chopping a tomato which is best done fresh (it goes soggy if done ahead)....

Why this recipe works A one-pot dish that is quick and easy and rich in flavour. I used air fryer chicken breast but rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe too. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken from your Sunday roast. It is comforting and delicious, perfect dinner for any weeknight and the sauce is to die for. Minimal ingredients and prep It is light and healthy....

I’d love to tell you these Korean Chicken Bao Buns are really quick to make, but I’m gonna say it right now. They do take a bit of time and effort. The recipe itself is easy, there are just quite a lot of steps and a bit of proving time. It really is worth it though. Make them as a Christmas party food, make them for dinner, make them for an indulgent lunch....

With a pasta salad dressing made with a combination of mayonnaise and yoghurt, it’s still beautifully creamy with all the flavour and less guilt! For a healthier option, try this Macaroni pasta salad with a mayo-free Creamy Lemon Dressing or Ranch Dressing! Macaroni Pasta Salad It’s difficult to imagine a summer with Macaroni Salad. Like Coleslaw, it’s a summertime staple. The pasta salad you keep in your fridge for a quick side for meals and to put in your lunchbox....

With a delicious meaty base and lots of cheesy goodness, you won’t miss the doughy crust! I have many recipes for low-carb pizza 🍕. Coconut flour crust pizza and cauliflower pizza crust are great, especially the coconut flour crust. But if you want an even lower carb count, or perhaps less fiber, meat-crust pizza is an excellent option. It’s great for getting all those yummy pizza flavors without overdoing it on carbs....
