I have never ever made a Tagine but it’s something I actually really really like!

This is a cross between a Cottage Pie and Hot Pot and so yummy. A crowd pleaser in our house as it’s quite old school Meat and Veg always seems to keep Kieran happy and as the veg is all hidden inside gravy so Abbie always eats it up which is a bonus.

This recipe is so adaptable to whatever you want with your eggs! Aslong as you have the Tomato Sauce and the Eggs you are pretty good to go.

This is so well known and so easy to make but also one of my favourite ‘fakeaway’ meals… it tastes a lot naughtier than it is! I have it quite often and thought I would pop my recipe on here for anyone who hasn’t tried it before.

I feel like I say this about a lot of food. But this really is one of my absolute favourites! The combination of Salmon, Tomato and Dill is just a winner, I love the flavour of the Sunblushed Toms instead of using fresh Toms… if you do use fresh Toms go for Cherry Tomatoes cut in half.

I was asked to review two new ready meals from Good Life Foods so here is what I thought along with some info on them and of course some photies!

In a bid to get some more interesting food and flavours into Islas life I thought I would make some Falafels!

This reminded me of a comforting Pie with all my favourite fillings! It was a hit with the Mr which is always a win when it comes to Pasta as he isn’t a fan (and I’m THE biggest Pasta fan) so I will be making this a lot more!

Not the usual sort of recipe I like to post BUT it’s Easter and sharing is caring. I truly believe everyone’s life can be greatly improved by making and eating these (in moderation of course).

Risotto is my ultimate comfort food. Carb heavy and Parmesan heavy… the two best combinations in my opinion!

This is my absolute favourite combination for Baked Oats… it’s like having cake for breakfast. The recipe is really adaptable so you can add any fruit or toppings you like and also use flavoured Yoghurt if you wanted to!

This is super easy peasy! Just thought I would share my way of doing it. If you don’t have a slow cooker you can go do it in a casserole dish in the oven.

This is one of my FAVOURITE things and is so easy to make! It’s the type of thing I cook when I feel like making an effort and feel like we are having a treat and something a bit fancy.

Ahhh it’s been a while since I posted a recipe! Mainly because it’s been a while since I tried anything new, because that requires far too much time and effort that my life simply does not have time for! But after sodding around with my food every week basically eating well Mon-Weds then it all going down hill from there I thought enough is enough! And there’s nothing like a good weekly meal plan with something new, exciting and yummy to look forward to, to get me in the swing of it again!

Pasta is hands down my favourite thing to eat. It can sometimes feel quite repetitive and I find myself having it the same way over and over… This recipe is similar to bolognese just using sausage meat instead of mince… I think I prefer it as it has more flavour! It’s a great recipe for getting your veg in, my 3 year old loves it and it makes me happy when she is eating veg, even if I have had to ‘hide’ it!!!

This is a great recipe for batch cooking a whole lot of and freezing for lazy evenings! It is also one of those things that is perfect for an Autumn evening, proper comfort food.

I went out for dinner ALONE with the other half this week for what felt like the first time in ages!!! Being pregnant, I did something I never usually do (because I usually drink too much wine to fit in all the food I want) and had three courses! It was so good and I loved my main so I thought I would try and make a slimming friendly version… It was just as good (if not better 😏)

and will definitely be a regular on the menu in our house from now on.

This is one of my favourite Risottos. The Smoked Haddock with a Poached Egg on top is just like a proper bowl of comfort food!

It has been ages since I had a nice stir fry!! It’s such a quick and easy way to cook a really yummy dinner, there is a bit of effort in the prep but not too much and this is yummy with Rice or Noodles! I usually just chuck it all together but thought I would write it all down with amounts for an easy to follow recipe.

This is something my Mum used to make when I was younger and I just kept thinking about Taglitelle all week with tomato sauce so thought I would re create a slimming world friendly version!
