So chicken and roast vegetable tray bake that I blogged in 2012 is one of the most popular recipes that I have written about and at one point I was number 2 in the search results in google for a tray baked chicken recipe (I was a bit too excited about this). Anyway, tray baked chicken is one of the popular recipes in our household … Continue reading Chicken, goats cheese, tomato and basil tray bake
This is a gem of a weeknight meal. Served with cous cous or bulgur wheat for a meal that is satisfying and filling while still being healthy. If you’re not a massive fan of spicy foods take note, the yogurt makes the harissa far less spicy but still flavoursome. Mostly I just like this recipe as I get a tasty meal without much effort – … Continue reading Yogurt and harissa spiced chicken kebabs
This is one of those post festive period posts that feels a little late to the party. I ended up making this dessert when we had friends round on New Years Eve and its one that’s a little bit special. All the chocolate makes this a pretty decadent dessert – it’s actually a bit of a rehash of the Chocolate and salted caramel hazelnut tart … Continue reading Ferrero Rocher Tart
I generally don’t delve into my personal life too much on here; despite the slight change of pace and direction on here thebunfight will always primarily be a food blog to me, with various lifestyle, home and craft posts. However, I had a conversation with my mum over the Christmas period and it crept into my mind to write a post dedicated to something important, … Continue reading 2014 – the year I inadvertently got a healthier attitude towards food

November rolled on and I kept being sidetracked. By mid December I had purchased (an admittedly rather nice) one from Lidl during a rather impractical Christmas shop. The … Continue reading Very quick mince pies – perfect for Christmas Eve
Well its now December and Christmas Themed blog posts are well underway – but I can’t bring myself to think about Christmas shopping while it’s still November. Of course, this has its drawbacks in that I always end up getting into a mad panic as the days go on thinking “what do I buy Mum/Dad/big brother/D/the bunnies?”. The answer to my life problems always seem … Continue reading Christmas Gift Ideas – For the Foodie
I suppose this post could have been saved until St Patrick’s Day given that the key ingredient here is Guinness. However, I think we all appreciate a few more cake pictures in our lives. The creamy mascapone icing on this cake is a dream and makes the uncut version of this cake actually look like a pint of stout. I made this cake one Sunday … Continue reading Chocolate and Guinness cake
I meant to post a pumpkin based recipe for Hallowe’en, I really did. But being able to think up nothing particularly astounding and lacking time I decided to blog a nice little recipe that everyone can knock together in under half an hour. Plus, Hallowe’en is at the end of half term week or a lot of schools in my area and this is a … Continue reading Rocky road – just in time for Hallowe’en
