Cajun Prawn Courgetti Under 500 Calories! This was inspired by a dish in our @simplycookcom box which I have recently tried for £3 and liked very much but am not sure I’d want to part with £9 for. You get some great ideas if you struggle choosing what to make ending up with the same dishes over and over and the herbs and spices they deliver to go with the fresh ingredients and store cupboard fodder you already have are […]
Easy Empanadas! It seems to be rather conflicting about the origin of Empanadas when you Google them but they are definitely eaten in Spain, Portugal and Mexico to name just a few places. I first had them in a cafe in Leytonstone and I adored the sweetness to both the crumbly pastry (I’m not usually a pastry fan) and the filling despite the dish very definitely being savoury. They are little filled pastry pockets to eat as a light or […]
Veggie Chilli And Nachos Under 500 Calories! After some treats this weekend it’s time for me to get back on my 500 calories a day (during the week) diet which is working for me & after 2 weeks I’m 6lb down! That’s not to say I don’t have tasty food, not when it comes to this #Recipe at any rate! #Veggie chilli & nachos is delish, easy to make, super filling & even my kids don’t say a word about […]
Turkish/Indian Fusion Chicken Kebabs under 500 Calories! The other day I made Jamie Oliver’s naan bread for a curry & it was so delish I had to make it again – Google his recipe, it’s AWESOME and you can switch up the flours for a healthier version, try using chickpea flour which is especially good in Indian cookery! For an under 500 calorie meal I served it with chicken kebabs which I’ve given a Turkish/Indian fusion, raita (different to the […]
School Chocolate Slice Recipe! This is a recipe I used to love when the cooks at school had made it and now, with its chocolate coating it’s one of my kid’s faves too! I love, and they do anything with chocolate so we of course cook with it often. I regularly make them chocolate shapes for school packed lunches as a treat (you can buy chocolate moulds on line) but this sort of recipe really is the very best of […]
Smug Mug Pot Noodle – Recipe! I’ve got a bit of a smug mug with my new noodle recipes and I just had to share them so that your mug can get as smug as mine! For a healthy but filling lunch I found myself buying rather expensive healthy versions of a pot noodle, you know the ones… Itsu do a range amongst others but actually… They were racking up a bit more of a bill than I’d like when […]
Another day and it’s another #MeatMatters post from me only this time a lamb dish. This one is another quick make and with chilling time should only take around half an hour. It’s also super healthy and the vitamins and minerals in the lamb will do you as much good as the veggies I serve on the side. If this was a dish for me and Jonny I’d serve it with brown or seeded pitta but the kiddos won’t even […]
Tagliata Di Manzo Recipe – #Meat Matters! I’ve been making this Italian recipe for my family for absolutely years and it’s one I will always come back to because it’s super tasty (my husband says restaurant quality) and so easy to make – I long ago found it in an Italian recipe book but have tweaked it over the years and I think now it’s at perfection levels, even if I do say so myself without even a hint of […]
Saturday Night Fakeaway Burger Recipe -#Meat Matters! There’s nothing I love more than a dirty burger takeaway but… They’re expensive and terribly fattening So… As part of the #MeatMatters campaign with Britmums and Simply Beef and Lamb I decided to share with you my fakeaway burger recipe which comes with all the taste of a good Saturday night takeaway but far fewer calories as well as being easier on the pocket! Around a fiver will buy all the ingredients you […]
Rocknrollerbaby’s Chicken Katsu Curry – serves 4! My children miss lots of things about living in London and aside from their school and pals I’d say top of the list for their misses is readily being able to buy Chicken Katsu Curry when we are out from lots of different market stalls. They can smell out that dish from 100 paces I swear and it’s their all time favourite food. Both of them in agreement for once is one kind […]
