King Prawn Stir Fry

So I’ve finally stopped playing the new Taylor Swift song on repeat long enough to write a new post!!! I’ve recently rediscovered my love for king prawns, and I can’t get enough. I usually only get raw prawns but Tesco didn’t have any at the weekend, so I had to get cooked, but actually worked…

Pulled Pork Chimichangas

Hopefully you all remember my last dalliance into the world of chimichangas… a very delicious recipe, which you can check out HERE. Well I enjoyed it so much I decided to go for round two. This time using leftover pulled pork and bbq sauce. And trust me guys… this is good. Serves: 4 Prep time:…

Chorizo and Red Wine Risotto

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying these daily blog posts throughout August? I found this recipe on Jamie Oliver’s website, this would be perfect for a cold winters night. I made a few adjustments from the original, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you will know I never stick to…

The Best Gravy

When you have a husband who comes from a family where they put gravy on everything and practically drinks the stuff, you have to learn how to make a good gravy. I usually only make gravy when doing a roast and using the meat juices, but I recently needed to make a quick gravy so…

Honey and Sea Salt Ice Cream

I’ve always loved the idea of making my own ice cream, but frankly I can’t justify spending over £300 on an ice cream maker, and I don’t have a big enough freezer to use the ones where you put the bowl in the freezer. So I was destined to having to buy ice cream but…

King Prawn and Garlic Linguine

I first tried this dish about 15 years ago when I was on a family holiday in Florida. We went to a pizza place near where we were staying, and I saw this on the menu. They gave us the most enormous serving, it could have probably fed 3 people! This is such a quick…

Beef Massaman Curry

This fall-apart beef dish is the curry you’ve been missing in your life. No exaggeration, it’s so rich and warming, and frankly my life is better for trying this dish!!! I made this on the hob but you could easily do this in a slow cooker or in the oven, and make the paste ahead of…

Prosecco Ice Lollies

There’s only one thing better than a cold glass of prosecco… and that’s a glass of prosecco in ice lolly form! This is a great adult summer treat, perfect for warm summer evenings sat outside, and they look so pretty, I nearly didn’t want to eat mine… nearly! Ingredients Summer fruits, chopped Prosecco Ice lolly…

Mary Berry’s Double Chocolate Cookies

This recipe is from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible, and quite frankly the book is my Bible. It’s great for new bakers as well as experienced ones. And as it’s Mary you know the recipes will be goooood. These will be soft when they first come out of the oven but will harden up, so don’t…

Summer Ice Cubes

Believe it or not guys, it’s the summer. I know the dark grey clouds and the fact it’s pissing it down don’t make it seem like it’s summer, but apparently it is. Sometimes I wish I lived in a country where you actually got a summer, not 2 weeks of hot weather, and than rain…
