Spicy Romesco Pasta
Introducing this delightful vegan pasta recipe with all sorts of twisty, tangy, heavenly flavours. Say hello to ~ Spicy Romesco Pasta. What I love about this recipe is the part where it says, “throw all sauce ingredients into the blender”. It has a magical ring to it and you know the evening is off to…
Easy Vegetarian Lasagne
As part of my family’s effort to eat less meat, I have been trying out all sorts of vegetarian and vegan meals. Not the easiest project however! Trying to make meals that are vegetarian / vegan which are also kid-friendly sends a bead or two of sweat down my forehead, far too regularly. It is…
5-Ingredient Butternut Soup
Probably the easiest soup you’ll ever make. In fact, no, it IS the easiest soup you will ever make. There are not frills to this 5-ingredient butternut soup but the taste is amazing and it’s perfect for a quick weeknight meal idea for the family. I always maintain that adding more ingredients to a dish…
Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta
Try and say Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta fast 3 times. That’s your basic brain workout for today. Now try and say it backwards. That’s your advanced brain workout for the day. It’s a pleasure. This recipe is again a 5-ingredient recipe. I am LOVING cooking with just 5-ingredients (okay we’re not counting, salt, pepper…
20-Minute Chicken Teriyaki – With Only 5 Ingredients!
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….

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…
Red Lentil and Lemon Soup
I have never used raw lentils in a soup, until I tried this soup. For some reason I thought they took FOREVER to cook. Turns out, they only take 20 minutes, if that. So, it’s a good enough reason to keep that wholesome looking jar of red lentils in my pantry and a VERY good…
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…
