Christmas Cocktails With Kingsland Drinks Prosecco! I love Prosecco, possibly more than Champagne would you believe. With the exception of one particular brand I find I can’t drink too much Champagne whereas with Prosecco, well… Let’s say I can! That’s not to say I should, well not TOO much at least, a little bit of what you fancy definitely does you good! And I usually fancy a Prosecco while I also love nothing more than adding flavours to make fizz […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Birthday Theme! Had to be a birthday theme for this week’s Friday Night Treat Tea with Raffie’s birthday over the weekend – we went into the birthday celebrations in style!
Andrew Peace Wines – Good Times Are Now For A Summer Cook Out! I was recently invited to try a box of Andrew Peace Wines which had been specifically hand picked by top chefs to go with BBQ recipes this summer. The Aussie family run wine business sent me a few recipes and three wines to try with them and boy, what a treat! To fit in with their slogan that “The Good Times Are Now”, they offer top class […]
Peritos – What To Do With Leftover Peri Peri Chicken! A few weeks ago I wrote my recipe for my one pot Peri Peri chicken, a real favourite in this house which I serve with potato wedges, coleslaw and corn on the cobs. We always have left over chicken (look for the Halal Certification if needed when purchasing) which I make use of the leftovers from, usually with sandwiches the next day and a soup. The sandwiches are great in […]
Chicken And Vegetable Soup under 500 Calories! There’s nothing as heartwarmingly filling on a cold and windy evening than a bowl of home made chicken and vegetable soup. Bonus is that it contains very few calories meaning it can be enjoyed with 2 slices of seedy bread and REAL SALTED BUTTER (if I couldn’t have proper salted butter I just wouldn’t bother)! There’s no real method to my soup other than I make stock by boiling up a chicken carcass […]
Pumpkin Katsu Curry Recipe! Using up my leftover Halloween table decoration of a blue pumpkin has been lots of fun. The blue pumpkin turns out to be delicious (far less earthy than orange ones) and has lent half of itself to my sweet pumpkin puree which I have made into muffins, saved some in the freezer for a Christmas pumpkin pie and kept a jar of in the fridge for yogurt topping. You can see how I made the sweet […]
Pumpkin Soup Recipe! I used half my leftover Halloween blue pumpkin to make a sweet pumpkin puree which I used for muffins, yogurt topping and froze some of for a pumpkin pie (see my sweet potato puree recipe here) but with the other half I made a savoury pumpkin puree which went half way to making pumpkin croquettes for a katsu curry (see that recipe here) and half way to making this soup. The soup is super tasty and SO […]
Veggie Curry Under 500 Calories! After indulgences at the weekend I’m back to what some of my friends think is my extreme diet but actually… I don’t really mind it at all, especially when I get to eat yumminess like this. Basically I’m an all or nothing kind of gal & that’s why this, in the past, has always worked for me & hopefully still does. It’s kind of like the reverse 5/2 (diet for 5 off 2) but was […]
Mushroom Souvlaki Under 500 Calories! I am as of this morning 1stone and 1lb down from my starting point 5 weeks ago proving my Monday to Friday diet is working wonders. I eat 500 calories per week day mostly taken up in my evening meal and people keep asking me, with aghast looks, what on earth I’m eating on such few calories. This is why I’m sharing some of my best #Under500cals recipes because you’d be surprised at quite how […]
