Serve this tender chicken and sticky sauce with coconut rice or mashed potatoes and some green vegetables. Let me show you how to make it in my step-by-step guide. Easy Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe Knowing me, you’ll know I love chicken thighs and stovetop recipes. It is no surprise that you love my stove top chicken thighs recipe. I am guessing you love the recipe because… It is quick...

No Velveeta or roux was harmed making this gooey and cheesy instant pot pasta Instant pot mac and cheese recipe One of the easiest one-pot meal you can make in your instant pot is pasta, all types now from macaroni to penne pasta....
They are so easy to make and they last for several days in the fridge, so I often double the recipe and make twelve of them. These cupcakes are wonderfully fluffy and sweet. The frosting is superb. Even my teenage kids love them. And this is the best compliment a keto baker can hope for! His favorite candy used to be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. These days, he loves my keto peanut butter bars....
I make it with ultra-dark chocolate (90% cacao) and add just a touch of sweetener, but the added sweetener is completely optional. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has cozy childhood memories of mugs of hot chocolate topped with tiny marshmallows. There’s something incredibly comforting about a hot drink on a cold winter day. So it’s good to know that while the marshmallows are a definite no, enjoying hot chocolate on the keto diet is very much a possibility - and it’s absolutely delicious....
Filled with all the traditional goodies, these tacos are so good. In fact, they’re just as good as traditional ones! When my husband and I started eating a low-carb diet, I was on a mission to find substitutions for all our old favorites. After some experimentation, I am very happy to say that there’s no need to give up yummy tacos! Simply replace the tortilla shell with a crispy cheddar cheese shell....
For a healthy creamy alternative, try this Potato Salad with a no-mayo Creamy Potato Salad Dressing OR no-mayo Creamy Lemon Dressing! I realised it’s been far too long since I shared a potato recipe and had to rectify that immediately. Plus I wanted to share something super simple after doing Biryani on Friday. There’s no doubt that one of the aspects that I love the most about my job is creating the more challenging recipes....
This post was sponsored by Hotel Chocolat’s Tasting Club. Have you ever tried thick Italian hot chocolate? It’s almost custard-like in texture, but like, 5 million times better than custard (and I love custard). Made with an embarrassing amount of chocolate, it’s just the thing for a weekend treat. I’ve made it a few times before. Regular chocolate flavour is perfectly delish, but I like to add in a little extra flavour....
While the rest of the word is obsessed with “50 Shades of Grey”, I am obsessed with the Jon Favreau movie “Chef”. Have you seen it? If you are a foodie, it is a must-see! There are classic moments in the movie that only “foodies” will appreciate. Like when one of the actors is swaying away to the beat of Latin music while he rubs marinade into the pork (seriously, cooking has never been so sexy!...
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Being more of a savoury than sweet-toothed gal, I’m rarely a victim of the urge to buy cookies or sweet tarts lined up in temptation on the counters of coffee shops. Unless, that is, they have big and fat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Here’s the thing: I’m all about fruit and spice oatmeal cookies, and they rate higher than chocolate chip cookies in my world. For me that magical mix of warm cinnamon and fruit studding a caramelly, chewy cookie just tastes like pure comfort and, well, home....
One pot meals are the THE BEST! Simple, easy and oh yes - less washing up! This chicken and couscous one pot has everything: Tender chickenCreamy fetaSweet and juicy pomegranateCouscous packed with loads of flavourExtra veg! We’re talking onion, peppers, spring onions, and tomatoes Chicken thighs - I’m using bone-in, skin on chicken thighs. You can replace like-for-like with chicken drumsticks, boneless and/or skinless chicken thighs.You could also use chicken breast, but I would recommend using 1 chicken breast per serving....
My family will rib me for sharing yet another Middle Eastern recipe. And yet another one skillet recipe! I love that they have no control over what I post. Unlike deciding the menu for our regular family dinners. The number of emails that fly back and forth as we argue over what the menu will be and who is making what….. Oh boy. It’s ridiculous. Absolute undeniable evidence that I was born into a foodie family!...
As you may know, I’m not usually a fan of icy smoothies (like my Rainbow Smoothie) in the winter. They make me feel cold, miserable and in need of a large latte with a bacon butty. I’d usually go for one of my hot smoothies instead (Oaty hot chocolate smoothie is my favourite). However, I was kind of forced into it because of my mini ‘ridiculous’ diet that I did a couple of weeks ago (which I’ll tell you all about on Wednesday) and I have to say, it was delicious!...
Pumpkin Pie For a recipe that’s actually incredibly simple to make, perfecting The Pumpkin Pie was irritatingly difficult – hence why it’s taken me until 5 years to share it. Not enough spicing, weird blend of spicing, too sweet, not sweet enough, unpleasant “curdled” filling, severe cracks, overcooked, undercooked. I feel like I’ve battled every possible variation of pumpkin pie to confirm that this is The One. It’s based on the filling recipe from Smitten Kitchen albeit I tweaked the spices (I found them too subtle) and reduced the oven temperature because I discovered by trial and error that this is the easiest path to avoid cracks on the surface of my Pumpkin Pie....
Full Disclosure, apart from the receiving the products, I’ve not bee compensated for this post. Any opinions I’ve expressed are completely my own. Check out Jess’s other products - including the coconut oil here. I’ve eaten my original coconut macaroon granola pretty much every day for the last few months. I’m so addicted that I was starting to worry I might never eat anything else for breakfast again. So I started thinking about variations of my original recipe (baby steps people - you can’t expect me to wean myself off, straight onto egg-white omelettes)....
We can never have too many beef mince recipes! Rissoles are a classic we’ll love forever, along with Spaghetti Bolognese, Tacos, Meatloaf, Beef Hamburgers and cosy Cottage Pie. Rissoles I know many Aussies grew up with rissoles as a weekly meal, but that doesn’t include my family. My first experience with rissoles was when I moved out of home at the tender age of 18 and shared a flat with a real true-blue Aussie lass....
A slurpy, splash-orange-coloured-sauce-down-your-white-top-in-enthusiastic-eagerness kind of soup, that makes you look at your husband’s bowl to see if he has any left that you could steal. That’s how good this soup is. It’s also on the table in less than half an hour. I first had laksa soup in a Thai restaurant, and I adored all the flavours and textures. I may have mentioned before that Thai is my favourite kind of food, and seafood laksa is such a great way to get a fabulous meal on the table quickly, using only one pan....
While Shepherd’s Pie is traditionally made with lamb, beef is just as tasty in this recipe. This is a timeless classic – make this once and you’ll make it over and over again! Shepherd’s Pie When I shared my Cottage Pie on Facebook, there was almost an all out cyber-war about whether it was in fact Cottage Pie or Shepherd’s Pie. 😂 So let me just answer the burning question first, to get that out of the way:...
They’re wonderfully soft and chewy and they keep well for several days (but you’ll probably polish them off way sooner!) I’ve always loved chewy cookies. It’s Ok if the edges are crisp, but as far as I’m concerned, the inside must be chewy, or they’re simply not worth the trouble. These almond flour cookies are a good example. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these tasty cookies....
Eggs for breakfast. They’re supposed to be the best all-round choice right? No carbs, low calorie, good fats, high protein, plenty of vitamins and minerals. Sounds a million times better than the piece of jam on toast I sometimes find myself shovelling in whilst I’m trying to empty the washing machine, test Lewis on his spellings and look for the missing football sock - all at the same time! Jam on toast = bad (and hungry again 20 minutes later)....
Quickly bake them in the oven, then coat them in the rich sauce. They’re perfect as an appetizer but also work as a filling entree. Meatballs are wonderful. The kids love them, so naturally, I make them often. But grownups enjoy them too - they are simply fun to eat! I have quite a few meatball recipes on this website. My favorites include pork meatballs, keto meatballs, turkey meatballs, and chicken meatballs....
