Skinny Baked Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with Cheese, Pancetta and Spinach Recipe
I love spaghetti squash and I have used it a few times recently. because I was shocked when I read that if you use spaghetti squash instead of pasta the calories are so low. I read a portion of pasta spaghetti is around 170 kcal whereas a portion of squash is a mere 33kcal but…
Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with a Parmesan Crumb Recipe
I have wanted to try baked tomatoes for ages. I did stuffed peppers a while back and they turned out good. As the summer is starting to wind down I really wanted to have a go. In my local grocers they had some large tomatoes in stock, perfect I thought. The chorizo works so well…
Roasted Butternut Squash, Spinach, Goats Cheese and Red Onion Pie Recipe
I saw this recipe on BBC good food and really wanted to have a go. I didn’t have a raised pie dish so only did one layer but it is still really impressive when you cut into it. I also didn’t make my own pastry either. Cumin is one of my favourite spices and I…

Ginger, Honey and Marmalade Baked Gammon Recipe
This ham was so delicious and the meat was so tender. The ginger beer really tenderises the meat a bit like coca cola ham. The glaze is so yummy and I love the bits of orange zest you get now and then. I made 2 salad’s and some ham croquettes for the both of us,…
Baked Feta and Spinach Samosa (Spanakopita) Recipe
When we were in Turkey we tried these delicious spinach and feta parcel’s they also used this mixture in pancake wraps. I really wanted to have a go at recreating them. They were delicious and I prefer baking to frying. I don’t know why but the mint, cumin, spinach and feta together changes the entire…
Chilli and Herb Baked Feta Cheese Recipe
This really transformed a block of feta. It made the feta light and fluffy and tasted delicious served warm. The herbs and chilli flakes didn’t overpower it at all. I have made it twice now the first time I spread it on bread and the 2nd time I just added it to a tomato salad….
Homemade Wild Garlic Chicken Kiev Recipe
I love this time of year when you can go and forage wild garlic. I have already made muffins, hummus and pesto and I fancied pushing myself a bit further by having a go at homemade kiev’s. I was so chuffed with the result, the chicken was so moist and tender and the wild garlic…

Warm Crab and Cheese Tart Recipe
So our New year treat lunch this year was this delicious crab tart. Coming from Torquay I love crab though down there it was from Brixham. I think the crabs up here off the Kent coast are just as nice. If you’re not a fan of brown meat this recipe is a really good introduction…
Sticky and Sweet Glazed Baked Ham with Pineapple Salsa Recipe
This is everything a ham should be, sticky, sweet, juicy and tender. The freshness from the salsa cuts through the sweetness and keeps the pineapple theme running throughout the whole dish. We are lucky as we have an excellent butcher and we ordered 2 smoked gammons and were not disappointed. Sometimes old school joints taste…
Healthy Whole Wheat Rolls Recipe
I love the rolls and butter you get in restaurants when you first sit down. There is something special about a warm roll and cold real butter, it is so simple yet so satisfying. These rolls taste just like the restaurant rolls but they have a massive bonus they are made with whole wheat flour….
