And in case you’re wondering… no, you can’t actually taste the avocado! It simply adds wonderful richness and creaminess. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty dessert. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: But that photo, so rich and dark and decadent, kept haunting me. And every time I bought a ripe Haas avocado, I did not think about guacamole, avocado fries, or baked avocado eggs....

You only need a little bit of butter. But you want lots of fresh herbs! Welcome back to Day 7 of the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon, where I’m sharing 30 salads in a row through to Christmas Eve – just for something different to the usual sugar-loaded baking countdowns!! Today: Baby Potatoes with Butter & Herbs I realise today’s recipe isn’t technically a salad as such, with no leafy greens in sight....

I like to brush the chicken pieces with a tasty sauce of honey and Dijon mustard - the sweet-savory flavor combination is phenomenal! I’m not usually a fan of boneless skinless chicken breasts. I find that they are a bit bland. I did finally learn how to bake chicken breast, keeping it juicy. And this recipe for skin-on chicken breast is amazing. But when you add bacon, everything becomes even better....

Let’s take a look. Usually when I bake a potato, I just prick the potato and stick it in the oven for an hour or so. I never really thought about it, until I had a really disappointing jacket spud at a cafe. I’m pretty sure it was microwaved, and it was wrinkly, soft and flavourless. That got me thinking, that yes, the jacket potatoes I bake at home are better, but are they they best?...

Today is a good day. I just made fruit crumble and custard portable! I may not have solved some head-spinning-time-and-space mystery - but for a dessert loving girl who loves a good picnic? I’m happy with this achievement. This streusel slice is based on a blueberry crumble slice recipe I made last year - but this time I’ve loaded it with fresh strawberries as well as blueberries. The custard can be served warm, but is also delicious as a cool dip - think of the creamy custard in the custard slices you buy from the bakery - laced with melted white chocolate....

Most shrimp recipes are quick, but this one is especially easy. Dipped in cocktail sauce or drawn butter, this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy shrimp. I think I like this recipe better than any of my other shrimp recipes. Although this shrimp stir-fry is really good. As is this easy shrimp scampi recipe. OK, so I have several recipes that I love! 🙂 Still, this is certainly a favorite of mine....

Lamb Borek Savoury pastries are hard to beat. It explains why pretty much every nation on earth seems to boast at least one kind they’re fiercely proud of. Borek is a pastry that gets so much love it can be found in not one but a swathe of countries, spanning the Balkans and Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey, all the way to Armenia and North Africa – the Borek Belt!...

Copycat of the popular Muesli Cookies sold in cafes across Australia, these are a terrific make ahead breakfast. Fill a jar with to grab ‘n run! Breakfast Cookies The only 2 ingredients in these Healthy Oatmeal Cookies that I don’t put in homemade granola are almond meal and egg. So I’m not exaggerating when I say these are like a bowl of granola in cookie form! These are a copycat of muesli breakfast cookies I’ve been eyeing at my local coffee shop for years, wanting to make a version that was actually acceptable to have for breakfast....

Serve it with pasta, spinach rice, or cauliflower rice. It is so good!! Cajun Chicken Thigh It is no news that I love quick chicken recipes and today, I am sharing with you another simple and quick yet juicy and delicious chicken recipe you will love. This is just as good as my stove top bone-in chicken thighs and cilantro lime chicken recipe. I love the versatility in these recipes, while these recipes are made over the stove, they are good grilled, baked, or air fried....

Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s the perfect side dish for a busy weeknight. Leftovers are great too! One of my kids is not a fan of cauliflower. That’s unfortunate, because my husband and I love it - it’s such a wonderful, versatile vegetable for anyone on the keto diet. However, this cauliflower casserole is magical! It’s the only way she’ll agree to eat cauliflower. I guess the cheese and bacon make it tolerable....

We don’t really see Chicken Parmesan in Italian restaurants in the UK. If I do see it though, that’s what I’m ordering. It’s that perfect combo of crispy chicken with rich marinara sauce, stretchy melted mozzarella and a nice big pile of spaghetti. Carbs+Fat+Salt+Crunch+Tang – it’s got it all!! I’ve got to admit, when I first had Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, I thought it looked a little strange. I don’t know if it’s a UK thing, but a big piece of chicken just doesn’t seem right with spaghetti....

Those of you who have been following along for a while will know that I have a weakness for french toast. I’ve shared 9 french toast recipes so far, and I’ve even created a recipe collection for them! (You can check it out here -> New Ways With French Toast). I expect to run out of ideas soon. A french toast drought. But until then, I’ll keep sharing new takes on french toast that I come up with....

It uses few ingredients and can be customized to taste. I have used my homemade cranberry sauce for this cream cheese dip recipe, it is delicious, creamy, and was gone within minutes of making it. This homemade dip would be a hit at any party. As I mentioned earlier, cranberry cream cheese dip is easy to make and even easier if you have a leftover homemade cranberry sauce. Never mind, if you don’t have one, I will walk you through how to make a quick one for this easy delicious dip everyone would love....

Serve it with pasta, mashed potatoes or with some salad. Right, let me show you how to make it in easy steps. Creamy Garlic butter Tuscan Salmon Recipe This is one dish I never get tired of making, I love how easy it comes together under 30 minutes. Even my pickiest eater doesn’t say no to this dish. I serve it with pasta and she loves it. The salmon is perfectly cooked and tender, it flakes easily into the sauce, every bite is absolutely delicious....

Why is it that ‘Mums cooking’ is always better the way she does it? It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s these cheesy potato cakes, her famous chicken stroganoff, Turkey gravy or THE BEST fried rice. Mums always know how to make it best! Fortunately I grew up with these potato cakes - watching mum closely and being taught exactly what she does. So I’ve made them many times over the years....

I’m delving into my 5 years experience working in a fried chicken shop as a teenager for this one. Whilst I was there, I learned how to joint the chicken, then we’d coat it in a special flour mixture (not a wet batter), and then it would be deep-fried in a big heavy-duty a pressure fryer. Of course, we’re having to do it without a pressure fryer at home, but you can still get perfect crispy-coating results from deep-frying it in a pan or a deep fat fryer....

Of the many things Germans have perfected, pork roast is right up there. And key to this meaty art is of course amazing crackling, something most recipes fall short on with Pork Knuckle … but we cracked the code! German Pork Knuckle (Schweinshaxe) Pork Knuckle – sometimes called Pig Knuckle – is as Bavarian as Oktoberfest, lederhosen and BMW. Called Schweinshaxen, these mighty hunks of roasted pork hock are a fixture of pubs and beer halls in Munich and this part of Germany, as well as nearby Austria....

This is my ULTIMATE Monday night speedy dinner. It’s also one of the best ways to get the kids to eat their green veg, well one of mine anyway - the other one managed to pick most of it out, but a few bits definitely got past the green veg defences. You can add in more veg - such as carrots or peas if you like. Or you can serve it with something other than eggs and bacon (cheese-topped beans, or even just a good glug of leftover gravy!...

Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make this Chicken Bake 📺 Watch how to make it 🍽️ What to serve it with 🍲 More Chicken Bake Recipes Lasagne-Style Chicken Bake 💬 Reviews I’m a big fan of lasagne, but it does take a little work, and sometimes I just want a meal where there’s minimal upfront work, but the results are still lip-smackingly tasty. I’ve got a couple of other lasagne shortcuts - namely my lasagne soup and my enchilada chicken lasagne (using tortillas instead of lasagne sheets and a white sauce shortcut), and this latest one came to me when I was daydreaming about lasagne, Garfield style....
