Harissa Lamb Meatballs and Charred Aubergine Yoghurt Flatbreads
Good LORD, these are good. Kieran said it was the best thing he’d eaten in years! I have to agree, and luckily for me I have leftovers for lunch today!
Slow Cooked Lamb Curry
We fancied something a bit different to our usual homemade curry… I got some lovely Lamb from the butchers that I trimmed and diced.
Crispy Gnocchi, Roasted Tomatoes, Homemade Pesto and Burrata
The textures and flavours on this plate are a match made in HEAVEN. You just cannot beat homemade pesto… I make mine with roasted garlic and it’s just next level.
Garlic Mushroom Pappardelle with Crispy Chicken
This is the sort of pasta dish I would make if I was having friends over and I wanted to impress them 🤩 there are a few elements involved but once your prep is done, it’s so quick to make!
Mini Egg Brownies
Mini Egg season is here. I think these are possibly one of the nicest things I’ve ever had in my mouth, I warmed one up in the microwave and had it with vanilla ice cream and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Meat and Potato Pie
Now if you are a northerner, you will be very familiar with a Meat and Potato Pie… we moved down south when I was 4 and I remember being very upset that you can’t get them down here, they are not very easy to come by! My lovely Dad made a very good job of recreating it for us and this here is the recipe we use.
Slow Roasted Tomato Soup
This cold weather has me craving hot Soup and crusty Bread 🤩 after a dog walk through the forest this made the nicest lunch with a Baguette, Basil and of course a helping of Parmesan 👏🏻
Christmas Day Red Cabbage
Cabbage is for life not just for Christmas 👀 I LOVE Red Cabbage and making this made me wonder why we don’t have it more often. Here’s how I do mine… this amount would serve 4/6 as a side.
Sweet Potato and Mixed Bean Enchiladas
I have been trying to sneak in some meat free meals to our week and this week I wanted to make some Enchiladas! These were so nice and I actually didn’t tell anyone they had no meat in till they were stuck in.
Savoury Chicken Rice Bake
Anything that’s all cooked together in one tray is always a thumbs up from me, this made a nice easy family meal on a weeknight evening with some leftovers for Hallie for lunch the next day 👏🏻
Creamy Leek and Roast Butternut Rigatoni with Sage and Parmesan
This is Autumn comfort food in a bowl. Leek, Butternut and Sage together is a match made in heaven and this was a perfect dinner on a rainy October day.
Crispy Prosciutto Pesto Cod with Slow Roast Tomato and Pea Risotto
The flavour combinations of the dish are SO GOOD. This is the sort of thing I would have on a Friday or Saturday evening if I wanted to feel like we were ‘out’ for dinner or if I was trying to impress someone!
Leek and Bacon ‘Mac & Cheese’
I basically think anything would taste good with Pasta and Cheese. You can’t go wrong. This really hit the spot and was a welcome quick and easy dinner on a rainy August (!!) evening.
Mango and Lime Chicken Skewers
Nothing makes me happier than finding a new meal that my whole family like! This was inspired by a meal out I had at the weekend and I was hoping and praying I could recreate it into a family meal and I think I nailed it if I do say so myself!
Chilli Con Carne
You can not beat a homemade Chilli Con Carne! I love it with fluffy Rice, homemade Tortilla chips, lashings of Sour Cream and Coriander and sometimes even some cheese on top.
Courgette, Feta and Lemon Risotto
This is a really summery Risotto, still comfort food at its finest but a bit lighter for warmer days. The flavour combinations are spot on and if you can get hold of some fresh Oregano it’s a lovely addition!
Slow Cooked BBQ Pulled Pork with Celeriac Slaw
This is one of those recipes that requires little effort BUT a lot of time and love. It is worth every single second of waiting for it to cook. I haven’t made Pulled Pork since my Slimming World days… you know when you have something so much it just puts you off!? Well ‘it is time’ and this recipe is much better than any I have done before.
AD| Green and Black’s Velvet Edition
When it comes to paid partnerships, I have to say working with a chocolate brand I LOVE has to be up there with blog collaboration goals.
Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Gnocchi
It feels like a VERY long time since I wrote a recipe blog so this feels weeiirrd BUT I think this recipe would be a lot easier to follow this way and to refer back to aswell!
Herb Crusted Salmon with Cous Cous and Roasted Tomatoes
This is the sort of food I could never get bored of. Fresh, summery, lots of flavour, filling and balanced… win win win. It wasn’t too tricky either… I just made it for myself but the crust would be enough to top 2-3 pieces of Salmon!
