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…

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…

Bruschetta

Bruschetta, to me is perfect dinner party food. You make them into small canapés, or a starter, or part of a tapas style menu. They are so versatile, you could put practically anything as the topping. As long as you choose good quality bread and olive oil you can’t really go wrong. Below is the…

Cheesy Leeks and Mushrooms

This is my fave alternative to cauliflower cheese. It’s perfect with a roast dinner and is really easy to make, plus is bloody delicious. If anyone is bored with the usual accompaniments then this is a must to make. Serves: 6 Prep: 10 minutes Cooking time 50-60 minutes Ingredients 1 onion (red or white) finely…

Stuffing Balls

Who doesn’t love a classic Sunday roast dinner. I defy you to find anyone who doesn’t love on a Sunday afternoon the smell of a roast in the oven. Juicy meat, crispy potatoes, lashings of gravy and the best accompaniment to me is a stuffing ball. I am slightly obsessed, I could eat these all…
