Easy Chicken Curry with Pilau Rice
This easy chicken curry is a firm favourite in my house and you can make it as spicy (or not) as you like. I don’t make mine overly spicy as both kiddies eat it and Mr isn’t great with heat. No matter how you have it, this is still full of flavour. But then, is a curry ever boring? I don’t ever change this recipe but you could always add some chickpeas if you wanted to bulk it out a little more. If you can, make it so there’s a portion left over. Trust me, this tastes even better as leftovers! Popped on top of a jacket potato is my…

Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Risotto
Chicken, bacon and mushroom risotto has got to be one of my favourite meals! It tastes amazing and warms you through on a cold evening. Though it is slightly time consuming as you can’t leave it. But it is so worht the effort. Little man was not a fan the 1st time he tried it but since then he has grown to love it too. I just have to spend time picking out the mushrooms and peas! As you do to get kids to eat anything. Rice dishes are always my favourite meals and you can find another great recipe here. I just find these one pan meals so much…

KFC Style Crispy Chicken
These KFC Style Crispy Chicken strips are a firm favourite in our house. They taste just as good as their greasy counterparts, if not better! Even the kids agree so they must be good! I do now make my KFC Style crispy chicken with gluten free bread. It means I can eat them without the stomach ache. Something I don’t think I’ll ever manage with the real KFC! You will ideally need a food processor for this recipe to make breadcrumbs. I tried making it using a hand blender once…. It didn’t go too well. We love a Fakeaway and I have more recipes to try. How about a bit…

Slow Cooker Pork Casserole
We’ve had crappy weather here lately so a bit of comfort food was definitely needed tonight. There’s nothing better than a veggie filled, Slow Cooker Pork casserole! Any slow cooker meal is the ultimate comfort food in my eyes. A casserole is no exception to that rule. To me, this slow cooker pork casserole is winter in a bowl. I have a few favourite slow cooker meals but another good one for winter is this Pepperpot Stew. There’s just something so warming about a slow cooker meal. It also makes life so much easier too.

Epic Bacon Cheeseburger – Better Than A Takeaway!
My Epic Bacon Cheeseburger is one of my favourite Fakeaways. I do a couple of different burgers with different fillings but the main burger meat is always the same and it tastes amazing! My toddler eats pretty much everything we eat so none of my recipes have salt added to them, I don’t feel they need it but add away if you do. My Epic burger is of course a double but you can make the burgers and freeze them for another day. I done this recently and it saved so much time when I was in a hurry!

Veggie Pasta
My Veggie Pasta is a recipe I get asked for quite a lot on Instagram. To be completely honest, it is thrown together out out whatever I have in the cupboards and fridge and it changes every time I make it. Tonight though, I tried to take notice of what went in but it is so versatile that you can make it with whatever you have to hand. It’s a great way of using up any wrinkly veg you may have lying around and you can always add some chicken if you wanted some meat in it. Veggie Pasta is a favourite in our house. We have it almost once…

Chinese Fakeaway Satay Chicken With Peanut Sauce
Chinese Fakeaway Satay Chicken has got to be one of the greatest discoveries I have made when it comes to healthy food. It all started when we had friends over for dinner and made I a low fat Chinese feast! This was just one of the dishes but it’s now become one of our favourite meals. You can serve it with whatever you fancy but egg fried rice is pretty easy to make. I now make this gluten free by using Tamari instead of soy sauce. Chinese is basically a no-go when you’re gluten free so this makes a great replacement. I also make it Dairy Free by swapping the…

Fanta Chicken
Definitely a favourite in my house is Fanta Chicken. I only used to do this when Mr and I were eating but we’ve since found out that the kids will eat it too. Which is a big thing with the toddler at the moment! It’s a great way of getting extra vegetables into him too! It is an almost Sweet and Sour tasting dish but without the ton of sugar that the real thing contains! It’s such a tasty dish and I easily make mine gluten free by swapping the soy and worcester sauce for gluten free alternatives. Fanta Chicken is also naturally dairy free.
