Not only is this pressure cooker spaghetti sauce easy to put together you can also serve the delicious sauce with other dishes, and it stores well too. Spaghetti Bolognese is a weeknight staple in most homes especially if you have got kids. This classic Italian recipe has won the heart of many homes including mine. It is one of my children’s favourites and I have no choice but to make it when they request it....
Served with Caribbean Rice with Peas (actually, it’s beans – but the dish is called “peas”!) One of the best nights I remember from my holiday to the Bahamas was at a beach bar where we drank cheap beer, danced barefoot on the sand and lined up in long queues for dinner served on paper plates. It was an extensive banquet consisting of peas ‘n rice, corn on the cob, a green salad and jerk chicken…....
It takes about 2 hours to make this cake, and the leftovers are excellent - just as good as the freshly baked cake. I knew that this recipe was a keeper when my toughest tester, my teenage daughter, reluctantly tried it, finished it all, and said she was “pleasantly surprised.” I made this cake for the first time last year and have made it a few times since, but never got around to photographing it....
With tasty layers of spinach and cream cheese, seasoned ground beef and mozzarella, this tasty lasagna is a big hit every time I make it. This lasagna is so delicious. Warm layers of seasoned spinach, ground beef and melted cheese - truly, you won’t miss the noodles at all! I have learned that quite often, the flavors we associate with grains are in fact the flavors of the fillings and toppings, while the grains are no more than a filler or a binder that absorbs the other flavors....
Serve it alone, in lettuce cups, as an avocado topping (perfect for lunch!), or atop slices of almond flour bread. While certainly an indulgence and not an everyday menu item, lobster is incredible. Its meat is delicate, very tasty, almost sweet. This lobster salad highlights the lobster’s delicate flavor rather than masking it. And since I use high-quality frozen lobster meat, it’s relatively affordable for the amount you get. This recipe makes four servings, and each costs about $15 at the time of writing this recipe (October 2022)....
It has a wonderfully delicate taste. It’s creamy and very refreshing! You can serve it as a soft-serve yogurt or let it freeze into a scoopable texture. This delicious frozen yogurt reminds me of the wonderful soft-serve mango ice cream that you can get at Indian restaurants. It’s smooth, creamy, sweet, and very refreshing. I serve it at the end of meals and it’s as wonderfully refreshing as a restaurant-quality palate cleanser....
I made these for Cinco De Mayo last year, and have made them loads of times since (although not on the bbq - I’m not allowed to use Chris’s bbq - which is why he’s done the video this time! ha ha). One of the things I love about being a blogger, is getting inspiration from National or Celebratory days. I prefer the bigger ones such as Cinco De Mayo, bonfire night and Christmas....
I call this “fried rice” because it is made using leftover rice rather than making it “risotto style” starting with uncooked rice grains. I find that making it by cooking rice in a tomato liquid makes the dish more risotto like and too starchy and wet for my liking. This method using leftover rice is perfect – it really is restaurant style. This is a great throw together mid week meal that you can make with Mexican-related leftovers....
If you have chicken breast in the fridge and risoni in your pantry, you can make this tonight! I hardly made a “normal” meal during the whole month of December. I was living on leftovers, whether it was food I made for my blog or leftovers from gatherings. Don’t even get me started about the RecipeTin Family Christmas. Those of you who have found me on Instagram may have seen that the RecipeTin Christmas lunch was still going strong at 10pm when the main course was served....
Cooking it is easy too - you can pan-fry it, but since I make an entire package at a time, I find it easiest to bake it in the oven. I know I’m not alone in feeling that bacon is probably one of the best things a person can eat. 😍 I make pork bacon often - whether oven bacon, microwave bacon or simply pan-frying a couple of slices with eggs for my breakfast....

Serve this delicious pesto butter salmon with creamy mashed potato or this fluffy and delicious mushroom rice. The key to making this recipe perfect is to use fresh ingredients. I always make my own basil pesto sauce, but you could certainly use store-bought, no judgment here. Make sure you use a quality brand you can vouch for. One of the reasons I love this recipe is the versatility of the cooking method....

Red Vietnamese Fried Rice Fried rice always makes for a great quick meal if you can incorporate enough “stuff” into it to fill it out from a nutrition perspective so you can justify calling it “dinner” rather than just a side dish. Today we’re turning to frozen peas, pre-chopped ham and egg for literal no-effort, no-prep add-ins to make this tasty dish I’ve called Red Vietnamese Fried Rice. In case I wasn’t clear about it in the opening, this is not an authentic Vietnamese recipe!...
It takes longer than simply searing the steak, but the tasty, reliably juicy results are well worth it! I LOVE steaks. 🥩 I just wish they weren’t so expensive! One of my favorite cuts is the New York strip and I like to cook it in a hot cast-iron skillet until a wonderfully brown crust is formed on the outside but the middle is medium-rare or even rare. Whenever I have extra time I choose the reverse-sear technique....
I’m joking!! But if there were a definition of a Throw Together Salad, that’s what it would be! For a quick-fix-meals blog, I have no idea why it took me this long to post a Throw Together Salad. Rest assured this will be rectified in the coming weeks as I intend to share a series of Throw Together Salads. A Throw Together Salad is exactly what it sounds like – a salad that is largely “thrown together”, without the need for messy chopping....
This canned salmon recipe will make you realise you CAN make incredible dishes using canned fish! Salmon Patties Good quality fresh salmon is not cheap. So if I buy fresh salmon, I like to cook it whole rather than mixing it up with other ingredients for things like salmon patties. My go-to quick salmon fillet recipes are Honey Garlic Salmon and Lemon Glazed Salmon 🙂 So I’ve always used canned salmon to make salmon cakes....
