I am always looking for new ways of using feta and had a go at this one. I always see recipes for roasted chickpeas so thought I would try it using cannellini beans. It adds a really nice texture. The feta adds a really nice saltiness and the dressing add loads of flavour. Ingredients (serves…

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…
Red Mullet on a Red Pepper, Tomato, Olive and Basil Stew Recipe
This dinner is healthy, simple but really tasty. I think red mullet is an under rated fish, it’s funny because I don’t like the grey variety as they taste a bit muddy. To keep it on our 5:2 diet we served the fish with a stew and alongside whole wheat couscous. The flavours are really…
Hot Smoked Salmon with a Mango and Avocado Salsa and a Tamarind and Mango Dressing Recipe
I always think fruit and fish do work well together and mangoes can really take on flavour. I do have to share a kitchen gadget I have a mango de stoner and it was of the best things I have ever bought. The dressing was an accident as I bought a 2 pack of mangoes…
Crispy Duck Breast with a Cider, Mustard and Orange Sauce Recipe
Nothing beats a crispy skin duck breast. We usually have five spice duck breast and fancied something different. The classic combination or duck and orange works well in this dish with added flavour of mustard and cider. We love sauce so even though my recipe serves 2 the sauce serves 4, crushing the new potatoes…
Halloumi on Courgette Ribbons with Sweet Chilli Dressing Recipe
We tend to eat a lot of halloumi in our house so I am always trying to find new ways of using it. I hadn’t thought about going down the asian route before but the sweet chilli dressing worked so well with the halloumi. I am growing courgettes this year and this is one of…
Fish Friday – Sea Trout Fillets on a Chorizo, Leek and Lentil Ragu Recipe
We were at the fishmongers and spotted the most beautiful sea trout and they kindly gave us some fillets. They were so delicious and worked so well with the chorizo and earthy lentils. I can’t wait to make it again. As you can see from the picture we are very lucky to have such a…
Skinny Veggie Aubergine, Lentil and Mozzarella Bake Recipe (under 300 kcals)
We are still keeping our calories down 2 days a week and I came across this recipe. I didn’t think we would be able to have cheese but light mozzarella isnt too high in calories. You replace the mince with lentils and I know it sounds strange but it still tastes really meaty and it…
Herby Pork Meatballs in Ale Gravy Recipe
I got some pork mince and fancied something different to pasta and meatballs. So I got searching lots of recipes and came across this one on supergoldenbakes.com. I found making the meatballs quite theraputic whilst listening to the radio. They went so well with the creamy mash potato and the herbs running through them makes…
Homemade Crab Caesar Salad with Lemon and Parmesan Crouton’s and Avocado Recipe
I love caeser salad dressing and wanted to try my own. We have been having a lot of chicken recently and there were some baby dressed crab’s on offer in the supermarket so I thought I would use them in a caesar style salad. It worked so well with the crunchy croutons and creamy avocado….

As you will see from my previous post I baked a lovely gammon joint and had some left over and I found this yummy recipe from kitchensanctuary.com. These croquettes were delicious, fa better than any I have had in Tapas restaurants. The cheese is gooey and the ham adds some texture all finished off with…
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,…
Pancetta, Feta and Mint Bean Salad with Pickled Red Onion Recipe
If you saw my previous post you would of seen I pickled some red onion’s. I used them in this salad and they worked so well. There is so much produce around this time of year, especially lots of different types of beans. I am growing some broad beans but didn’t have enough for this…
Whole Wheat Pasta Salad with Halloumi, Lemon and Herbs Recipe
So I haven’t posted for a while due to the lovely weather we have been having in the UK. Halloumi is something we eat a lot of particularly in the summer and I wanted to try something different other than frying it as slice’s or cubes. I was on the great british chef site and…
