This is a terrific carrot recipe to serve as a meal. Thick and creamy, savoury and sweet, Carrot Soup is quick to make, healthy, freezes brilliantly, and the only thing it needs is hot crusty bread for dunking. And I love the colour! Creamy Carrot Soup is the BEST way to eat carrots! When the end of the week rolls round and the cupboards are pretty bare, I can still bank on having carrots, onion and garlic....
Currently daydreaming about holidays… One thing I’m guaranteed to buy at least three times whenever on holiday in Greece, is authentic Greek Gyros. Honestly, that juicy meat, refreshing tzatziki and handful of cheeky fries all wrapped up in bread heaven (aka Greek pita flatbreads) from that tiny little cafe down a quiet backstreet……. …..I think it’s better than anything you can get at a restaurant. Who needs to get dressed up and spend a fortune eating out, when you can sit on a plastic chair, eating Pork Gyros and sipping from a can of ice-cold Amstel!...
The freshly baked quiche is amazing, and the leftovers are just as good, either gently reheated or even enjoyed cold straight out of the fridge. I really like crustless quiches. They are very easy to make, they’re cheesy and creamy and filling, and any leftovers are usually really good and can even be frozen. One of my all-time favorites is this crustless quiche Lorraine. True, it lacks vegetables. But you can always serve veggies on the side and the quiche itself is so wonderfully flavorful and indulgent....
For a No Knead version, make this recipe using the No Knead Bread Rolls recipe – super easy! I invited my mother over for brunch today. Wanting her to taste test a few things I was experimenting with. Well, truth be told, I was having a big cooking day and wanted a kitchen-hand. Within a few minutes of arriving and discovering the real reason I asked her over, she disappeared outside on the pretence of playing with my dog (works every time)....
It’s the ultimate weeknight dinner because it’s ready in less than 30 minutes, and leftovers keep well for several days in the fridge. I love making this quick and easy stir-fry. Steak strips, onions, and bell peppers are quickly cooked, then flavored with a simple Chinese-style sauce. Sesame oil and sesame seeds finish the dish, rounding out the flavors and enhancing the presentation. This dish is pretty, flavorful, and quick....
They are so very flavorful, and while the skin is wonderfully crispy, they are super juicy inside! I’m totally in love with these crispy chicken wings. As in, I can’t get enough of them! I’ve been making them at least once a week for my family. Lucky me, no one complains! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these tasty wings. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below....
This is my attempt at not posting anything sweet during January. In my defence, I’ve come to the conclusion that life without cake is boring. I’m sure it’s far better for you to have a cake every now and then (like every other day, not once a month - that’d be ridiculous) than to have no cake. Cake = endorphins No cake = miserable Nicky (who ends up hiding in a cupboard anyway - eating chocolate chips from the baking shelf or that Christmas chocolate I found down the back of the sofa) So I’m sticking to cake....
Melty chocolate, smothered over fluffy, light, choco-banana cupcakes. I could eat A LOT of these things! I know spider’s webs are a bit cliche for halloween, but who cares. I’m all about the traditional (and easy!). I use my favourite moist chocolate banana cupcake recipe here (the same one I use for my chocolate banana sundae cupcakes). What do you need? Full recipe with ingredients and detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post....
This spice blend is great with chicken, fish, steak, salad, sauces, pasta dishes, and many more. Homemade Herb de Provence recipe Have you ever thought of making your own herb de Provence at home from scratch? Well, if you haven’t then you should as it is easy and quick to make. You would make this spice blend literarily in 5 minutes. I am obsessed with herb de Provence and I do not shy away from it as I use it all the time in my cooking....
This sauce is wonderful on pasta, and just as good as a topping for grilled meats, grilled or baked fish, and vegetables. I love the flavor of basil. One of my favorite appetizers is Caprese salad, and the basil is a big part of why I’m so enamored with this fresh-tasting salad. So it’s no wonder I love basil pesto sauce. This homemade sauce is so delicious and fresh tasting....
A perfect recipe for a date night or a busy weeknight, serve with garlic mashed potatoes, homemade oven chips or salad. This is about to be another of your favourites! Steak air fryer Do you know you can make juicy steak in your air fryer? Oh yes, you can and it is pretty easy too just like every other air fryer recipes. This air fried steak is straight forward to make and does not need any marinate....
Serve it with some boiled basmati rice or creamy garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. Allow me to show you how to make the best pressure cooker beef and gravy in less than 40 minutes. Easy instant pot beef tips and gravy While I wouldn’t say this instant pot beef recipe is affordable it is definitely worth every penny spent making it. That said, I meant not affordable because you pay almost $10 (£8) for two pounds of beef but it is more than enough for a family of four....
Let me show you how to make chicken legs in your instant pot using fresh or frozen chicken. Serve with salad, steamed vegetables, rice or baked potatoes. I love chicken and I honestly don’t get tired from eating it. My opinion of chicken is that no two chicken tastes the same because you can make it taste as you want. You are guaranteed flavourful chicken recipes on this blog, no faffing about, one-pan....
I love serving this saucy dish on a bed of cauliflower rice, and since leftovers taste really good, I sometimes double the recipe. This recipe is one of my favorite meals. I’m not normally a big fan of chicken, preferring beef or lamb, but this recipe is simply amazing. Like most Indian recipes, it’s incredibly flavorful, and in this particular case, it’s also wonderfully creamy. In recent years, I’ve been teaching myself to make many of my favorite Indian-style dishes at home....
Ready in just 25 minutes, they can also accompany your dinner, and they’re especially good with chili! The first time I made these tasty biscuits, I served them with my amazing no-bean chili. At some point, I learned to make keto cornbread, so I usually make that to serve with chili. But these biscuits are so good, I still make them often. Yes, they are low in carbs, but they are not low on flavor!...
It’s superb with fresh berries or you could use it as frosting for cakes and cupcakes. I’m a whipped cream connoisseur. Did I tell you about the time, years ago, when all I wanted for dessert in a nice restaurant was a bowl of whipped cream? I was too shy to ask, but my husband, bless his soul, asked for me. They were happy to oblige! This keto chocolate whipped cream is so easy to make, and it’s delicious....
It’s easy to keep them gluten-free and low-carb by avoiding fillers such as breadcrumbs and opting for sugar-free ketchup and maple syrup when making the sauce. I love meatballs – turkey meatballs, pork meatballs, chicken meatballs, spicy meatballs… but these are especially fun because of their size. And they are also extra flavorful, thanks to the simple yet delicious three-ingredient sauce. In fact, I like these cocktail meatballs so much, that I often serve them to my family for dinner....
Ready in about five minutes, it makes a great keto breakfast or snack. Add a few chocolate chips or top it with whipped cream and it’s the perfect dessert! I’ve been working on this cake for a while now. It’s a simple cake with only four ingredients, but since nut butters greatly vary in their texture, it wasn’t that easy to get the ratios right. So it took me several tries until I perfected this recipe....
They’re another sweet victory for gluten-free baking, and proof that baking with almond flour can yield wonderful results. OMG, these cookies are amazing! They are buttery, flaky, golden, and sweet. This recipe makes six cookies, which admittedly is not a lot - in my house, they vanish immediately! You can easily double it if you wish. When I’m in an especially indulgent mood, usually around the holidays, I love having a couple of them with a cup of keto hot chocolate....
