Three Pinch of Nom Recipes We Loved in January
I bought myself the second Pinch of Nom cookbook at the start of January as I read there was quite a few vegetarian recipes in that book. If you’re a longtime reader you’ll know that a few years ago I was a strict Slimming Worlder and lost just shy of two stone. You can read […]

Review // Gousto Spiced Tenderloin Pork & Peanut Sauce
I’m all for trying new recipes and expanding my cooking repoitoire. Sometimes, eating the same 5/6 meals on repeat can get pretty boring. So, when Gousto, the subscription meal service got in touch, I defo wanted to see what it’s all about! As I’m sure you’re aware, I love cooking. Getting in the kitchen after […]

Recipe // Butter Chicken Curry
It you were to ask what’s my favourite cuisine, I’d have to say Indian every time. The mix of flavours, the succulent chicken and breads to accompany just make it one of my favourite meals. The sharing element and having a taste of your dining partner; it’s all part of the experience. So when it comes […]

Recipe // Sweet Potato Dauphinoise
The start of a new year often signals detox and diets for most by around these parts I’m all about moderation. Whilst I may have indulged a tad over the last month I haven’t gone overboard as I try to make sure every meal I cook is packed with veg, so the naughty treats […]

Recipe // Goats Cheese & Red Pepper Pasta
I’m gonna put it out there before I even start this post…I’m totally aware that the only recipes I seem to be posting lately are pasta-based. I think I’ve got a problem. But pasta is amazing. It’s speedy to cook, involves cheese (which is always a winner in my book) and provides lots of variation. […]

Food // Homemade Beetroot Houmous
Since I changed jobs last month I’ve had to take my breakfast and lunch to work each day, and sometimes I get bored of my options. I love beetroot houmous but we’re nowhere near a large supermarket, so I decided to attempt to make my own! I purchased all the ingredients in Aldi, so in […]

Food // Sausage & Spinach Pasta Bake
Everyone loves a pasta bake – stodgy, carb-heavy yet so, so yummy. This week is one of those ‘using up the contents of the cupboards’ weeks so what could I rustle up with 1 leek, 1 courgette, 1 jar of tomato & bacon pasta sauce and a pack of sausages? Obvs I went with a […]

Food // Butternut Squash, Spinach & Feta Lasagne
I’m trying to incorporate more veggie-based recipes into our diet and this weekend I gave this lasagne recipe a go – but added my own twist onto it! I love lasagne but never really attempted to make my own till recently. Spinach is now a staple in my fridge and I wanted to try cooking […]

Food // Chicken & Chorizo Tray Bake
I think I’ve touched on this before but I’m not really a traditional roast dinner kinda gal. I’m not huge on going to a carvery and I don’t enjoy loads of plain veg smothered in gravy. There I said it. I prefer a mix of roasted Mediterranean veggies with a chicken breast, maybe some stuffing […]

Food // Chilli & Sweet Potato Chips
Chilli is one of my go-to meals. I just love cooking a big batch up filled with loads of veggies and mince meat. It’s one of those one pot dishes that’s so simple to do and requires little effort – bar the chopping of veggies and the washing up afterwards! It’s great to make at […]

Food // Peppers, Celery and Bacon Pasta
I try and cook fresh homemade meals as many nights of the week as I can. But sometimes, as the fridge starts to empty out, you need to get inventive with your lack of ingredients. And that’s how this dish came to life! I discovered one red pepper, a stick of celery, 4 rashers of […]

Food // My Penne Bolognese Recipe
Since we moved into our new home, I’ve loved having my very own kitchen and space to cook. I blogged last week about being quite poorly over the New Year but now I’m out of hospital and back home, I’m upping our veggie intake and getting into the swing of making meals from scratch again! […]
