Possibly the next best way to eat a Potato after a Roasted Potato is Potato Dauphinoise. Garlic, Cream and Cheese… need I say anymore.

This is the sort of thing I would normally steer clear of if I’m honest. I’m a huge fan of delicious, quick, easy food… and this is very much a labour of love, but trust me it is so worth the effort, plus we had leftovers enough to freeze for another day so even better.

Now I’ve already got a Fish Pie recipe on my blog, back from the Slimming World days… I will link it here for anyone who would prefer a ‘healthier’ recipe… but let me be completely honest, this version is much much better, I just kind of feel like a Fish Pie should be totally indulgent, creamy and cheddar Mash for the win.

We made this at work the other week and it’s just everything I LOVE all in one pot.

I very, very rarely make curry from scratch, I always reach for a curry paste until now! This was a game changer and actually really, really easy to make… everyone loved it even the girls, it has a very slight kick to it but you can leave the Chilli Powder out if you aren’t a fan of the spice!

I actually can’t believe I don’t already have a recipe for this on my Blog. Such a classic and one of my favourite dishes. I went IN on the wild dried mushrooms which affects the flavour quite a lot, I would say if you haven’t had them before maybe don’t use quite as much as I have and use fresh Mushrooms as they have quite a strong flavour (Kieran wouldn’t eat it, but he IS a fussy git.)

My last ever recipe in my old kitchen!! Ahh so exciting and can’t wait to be able to cook again properly at home, this was a bit of a corker to go out on. Think luxury Bolognese with all the flavours and slow cooked shredded up Beef. The kids loved it too and I would have it with Pasta, Gnocchi, Potatoes, Rice it’s one of those that just goes with everything.

I love Gnocchi for comfort food and it always feels like more of a treat than Pasta, this one definitely doesn’t disappoint.

This is one of those meals that I would have for Lunch or Dinner and nobody else in my house would eat so I make two portions all for myself to have two days in a row.

This is one of those meals that you could literally throw anything in and it would still taste good. I always have it when there are odds and ends of veg to use up in the fridge, you could also add meat or fish if you want to! It super filling if you eat the whole thing, I usually have half of the amount here as a meal, but obviously it depends how hungry you are!

A couple of weeks ago I worked with Sacla Pesto and created a Pasta dish very similar to this. This blog post is not sponsored in anyway obvs you can use whatever Pesto you like the best… but thought it would be nice to upload how I made it, because it was quite epic, if I do say so myself.

I was trying to think of some easy, healthy lunch ideas that I could make up to last me a couple of days. I love Kedgeree and its so filling, sometimes I’ll have it with Hot Smoked Mackerel but I definitely prefer it with Salmon.

I have been meaning to make this for weeks! I picked up some Quorn mince in the supermarket after trying it at work and do you know what, it really isn’t so bad! I wanted to use it to make a nice Chilli, I think what I love the most about this is it is packed with Veg and high in Protein with the Quorn and the Kidney Beans.

I feel like thats a bit of a mouthful but I didn’t want to leave anything out of the title! I nearly didn’t bother with a recipe for this as its just so simple, but I took some photos and thought I may as well pop it up. Just a few good quality ingredients made for a really tasty, quick dinner, perfect for the end of a hot day.

Exactly what it says on the tin, next level! I bloody LOVE a salad but tbh yeah, they are boring AF. If I’m making one, I will always try and jazz it up a bit and this is so much nicer than your bog standard Nicoise with just a little more effort put in.

I love Pasta and I love Chicken Caesar, but I wanted to be able to have it hot and not use Caesar Dressing. So this Pasta sauce is made using all the flavours in Caesar dressing but using Chicken Stock and a little Cream for a seriously tasty Pasta sauce.

Firstly, WOW. Birdseye Chilli’s are seriously hot. It’s only as I write this I remember being a Commis Chef at my first restaurant job and the older more senior chefs getting me to eat one…not fun!!!

I’m forever just thinking of yummy, different ways to eat Pasta. This one in particular was so nice with a Spring/Summery twist, it felt fresh and light for a creamy Pasta dish and I had it with a side of Tender-stem Broccoli and Asparagus.

These are so easy and packed with flavour! They make a nice lunch or dinner. I use Mutti Pizza Sauce to save time but if you can’t find it, some Passata with Mixed Herbs will be fine.

I had some seriously sorry looking Bananas at the end of the week this week, and I’ve been terrible for not using them up lately and just lobbing them. But with a bit of time on my hands I wanted to try out a Banana Bread.
