Just leave your question in the comments section of this post and I will answer it promptly! Victoria COVID Lockdown II Over the weekend, Victoria (the second most populous state in Australia) declared a State of Disaster due to a second wave of coronavirus. Sweeping new restrictions, including night time curfews and strict rules on movements restricted to essentials such as medical, food and 1 hour of exercise per day, came into force last night....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Mexican Shredded Beef I have a “thing” about shredded meats. I just love how it acts like a mop for sauces, so every mouthful is so juicy. From Shredded Chicken Tacos to Pulled Chicken Nachos, Shredded Beef Ragu Pasta and Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken and Rice Soup to Crispy Chinese Shredded Chicken, if the eating experience is better when the meat is shredded – I shred it....
Am I the only one romanced by the idea of breakfast in bed but actually find it really impractical? It is so awkward to use cutlery with a tray gingerly balanced on your lap. And if it’s toast, pastries or muffins, I find myself holding the plate right up under my chin as I eat it just to make sure that I don’t get crumbs in my bed. So here’s the thing about this Mini French Toast....
Hefty and interesting enough for lunch, but not so heavy it loses its summery personality. Though mind you, I happily serve this year-round! After a (very!) extended water break, the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon has resumed! Today – how the French make canned tuna fabulous: Nicoise Salad (Salade Nicoise) Nicoise Salad – or in French, Salade Nicoise – is a classic salad originating from the city of Nice in Provence, France....
Chris has just been editing the video for this dreamy one pan dinner, and after watching several clips of that creamy-cheesy sauce, we both agreed I need to make it again. Like now!!! Let’s talk Alfredo. I’m gonna look like a bit of a dumb-ass here - but I really thought Alfredo originated in the USA. The first time I heard of it, it was for a copycat version of Olive Garden’s Alfredo....
According to Google, there are 433 million results when you’re searching for a Pasta Salad. So what makes this one different? A MUST-TRY PASTA SALAD DRESSING It’s the Dressing. 🙂 It’s a vinaigrette, and it’s made using the oil from the jar of sun dried tomatoes. And it’s not only infused with sun dried tomato flavour, it’s got a bunch of other flavourings as well, all things we love – garlic, herbs, sugar, salad and pepper....
This post is part of a series of meals made using Easy Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) that I posted last week. It freezes so well and defrosts quickly, making it great to have on hand for fast meals – like Enchiladas. However this recipe can be made using any pre cooked meat – shredded chicken in particular would be fantastic. It takes a mere 15 minutes to assemble (if that), then just pop it into the oven....
Pumpkin spice milk recipe If you are looking for a caffeine-free drink or no coffee pumpkin spice latte then this warm milk recipe is for you. This is a perfect relaxing drink for any night of the week especially on a cold night when you want a relaxing and a better night’s sleep. With its warming flavors and health benefits, this drink is a must-have this season. It’s caffeine-free which makes it ideal for kids and adults who can’t handle caffeine; plus it can be enjoyed by anyone at any time of day!...
I LOVE how pretty these ruffle bars are! Look at that vibrant pink colour! Totally artificial. You ain’t getting this colour from pureed raspberries. No, these ruffle bars get that pinkish loveliness from raspberry jelly crystals. I got the inspiration for these from Baking Bar - although I changed things up a little by using more coconut, replacing evaporated milk with condensed milk (for that coconut ice flavour/texture) and adding a little milk chocolate to the dark chocolate simply because I needed to use up some of the leftover Easter egg chocolate we’ve still got in the house!...
What makes this sheet pan chicken thighs and potatoes recipe great What is not to love about this quick one-pan chicken and potatoes dinner? You put the marinated chicken and seasoned potatoes in a pan and let the oven do the rest of the job for you. I feel the same way about one-pot meals too like my popular one-pot rice and chicken recipe. You don’t need to marinate the chicken except if you have time and would prefer it....
This is a quick dinner idea that’s based on using what you’ve got – so feel free to customise! Chicken Spaghetti I’ve affectionately dubbed this pasta as a Sicilian Chicken Spaghetti for no other reason than to add a little za za zoom to what is actually a very simple pasta made with pantry staples, but is nevertheless can’t-stop-slurping-it-good. It’s a basic tomato garlic pasta sauce, but it gets a flavour boost from a few little things: EFFORTLESS – This chicken pasta calls for little more than opening cans and jars, and pressing garlic through a crusher!...
Hearty, chunky, healthy, totally delicious! Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Soup This is a soup that is particularly fantastic to make in the slow cooker. Cooking it low and slow lets the chicken breast cook gently until it’s tender and shreddable, the beans and corn absorb the heavenly spice flavours in the Mexican flavoured soup broth, and the tomatoes break down to thicken the soup. After tossing the shredded chicken back in, there’s nothing required to be done to finish it off before serving other than grabbing a few toppings....

The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below.

You can use whatever fish you like and have on hand - I like to mix cod and salmon. This truly easy recipe is ready in just 30 minutes! This delicious stew is so very flavorful. And although quite spicy, the heat does not overwhelm the dish. Rather, the seasonings allow the delicate flavor of the fish to shine through. It’s a fun recipe to make because you can use whatever fish you like and enjoy....

The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Today I just decided to go ahead and publish it.

Love pasta? Why not try my creamy cajun chicken pasta, pink sauce pasta, or vegetable pasta bake? Spinach and ricotta pasta recipe I love all things pasta especially when it uses a handful of ingredients and is quick to make. Today’s recipe is so simple to make and sinfully creamy, one would think tossing pasta in ricotta could end up dry, not this one, the addition of milk and pasta water helps to emulsify the ricotta....
“This is how you justify having dessert for breakfast…” The problem with these Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups is that they are way too easy to make. Because frankly, let’s not kid ourselves, these are not a normal breakfast by any stretch of the imagination. I made these in the morning to take photos and as I munched on them afterwards, all I could think was “damn, these are the best doughnuts ever”....
Sometimes salad isn’t about the salad. It’s about the dressing. Let’s be honest. If you say ‘what are we having for lunch?’ and someone says ‘salad’, not many people are excited at the prospect. Usually a bowl of lettuce, tomato and cucumber is conjured up in the mind - which, if you’re a maker of said salad (Mr/Mrs large pub or cafe chain owner), let it be known that no-one likes that salad....
This vegan cake came about simply because I didn’t have any eggs in. Since I had soya milk in the fridge, I thought I might as well go all in and make a vegan version! And let me tell you - the process was not as easy as I expected. It took a little more testing than usual to get it right. I always find it’s the cakes that take more testing....
Air fryer potatoes (jacket potato in air fryer) Are you new to the air fryer and still wondering what to cook in it, well apart from frozen foods the first thing you want to cook is potatoes? In my opinion, I believe it would help you know how your air fryer works especially with timing. The type of potato dish you cook will determine the timing and temperature to use. For example, baby potatoes would cook for a shorter time than large baking potatoes....
