For the past year and a half or so; instead of being on a specific diet I have just been trying to make healthier food choices. Things like trying to eat well in general rather than trying to cut out a specific food. Lately I have been trying to mix things up at breakfast by trying different things to help me cut craving for sweet … Continue reading Healthy breakfast ideas when you’re pushed for time
I think sometimes the best thing about being a bit of a “throw everything together and see what happens” sort of cook has its advantages. Since I started blogging I am far less thrown when I race in after working later and I need to throw together a tasty meal. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. I had actually planned this recipe … Continue reading Sun dried tomato, feta and spring onion turkey burgers
I start this post with a confession. I am the worst person with plants ever! When I was housesharing I forgot to water my flatmate’s spider plant while she was away for 2 weeks until 2 days before she returned home.

I like to serve this with tagliatelle or really good bread and use the lemony butter you get left … Continue reading Chicken baked with lemon and thyme
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
