I am totally hooked on 5-ingredient meals. HOOKED! After browsing through a friend’s copy of Jamie Olivers 5-ingredient meals, I was so inspired to create meals with only 5 ingredients. It just makes so much sense! This isn’t one of Jamie’s recipes but it does use some of his common combinations like teriyaki and chilli….

20-Minute Creamy Smoked Salmon and Lemon Pasta
This you guys. This is your best friend in a recipe format. It is a creamy pasta full of smoked salmon, lemon (juice and zest), fresh Dill, cream and creme fraiche (I did say it was a creamy pasta!!), a dash of Chilli (which just adds flavour) and then a little salt and pepper. Let’s…
Mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies
I ditched buying store bought pies a long time ago – they just taste ughhh. Once you’ve become accustomed to a good homemade pie (like these mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies), there is just no going back unfortunately. What do you say? Homemade food has a knack of setting that bar high! I often have to learn…
Easy Cheesy Lasagne
Lasagne, kind of like a pizza dough, always used to scare me. Not to eat it, but to make it. The length of the process! I mean you have to make mince AND cheese sauce AND then layer it. At least an hour and a half in the kitchen, right? So I avoided making it…
Easy Thin-Base Pizza Crust Recipe
My boys LOVE pizza, I love pizza. Our family loves pizza. We eat pizza a lot. After a visit to my sister in Australia, she showed me how easy it was to make homemade pizzas. She used a recipe out of one of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. The kids loved it. So, as any mother of…

Cheese and Sundried Tomato Pinwheels
Today I am sharing one of my favourite (and ridiculously easy) go-to party food recipes. They go by many names, but I call them pinwheels (made out of puff pastry). Highly popular, I am sure you have come across them already? But have you made them? That is the important question? Essentially, you get…
Easy Beef Stew with Carrots and Sweet Potato
First off, thanks to Noakes and Co for this recipe, which I’ve adapted from their Raising Superheroes cookbook. The recipe in the book is actually a stew for toddlers which I came across when searching for some new recipes for my baby boy. And you know when you make stuff for your little people you have…
Fancy Spaghetti Bolognaise
I called it a fancy bolognaise but it also feels kinda like a lazy lasagne. Either way – whatever you want to call it….it’s feel-good-food. It’s homely and simple – although that would seem contradictory seeing as though I just titled the recipe “fancy”…but you know what I mean, it still is spag bol. Just a…
Spicy Rice and Chicken Strips
So here is the thing, sometimes we just need a recipe we can use with leftover chicken, right? Or there are those days where we just don’t feel like cooking chicken but really feel like eating chicken. Yes? Enter Rotisserie chicken. Enter last night leftover roast Chicken. This recipe is kinda like a homemade Nando’s…
Easy Thai Green Chicken Curry – Make it in 20 Minutes
Guys. Guys. Oooooh guys. My website. She was down for almost 48 hours last week. I am really hoping you didn’t even notice but if you did, phew, I am SO sorry. I have been snowed under doing all these technical things like creating new databases and installing CDN Networks and changing nameservers and uploading…
