Not all stir fry recipes have to be a rainbow of colours. Beef Chow Fun usually consists of beef, noodles, beansprouts and onions. Now that really is a plate of brown food! I stick to a traditional approach, relying on a flavour-packed marinade (which doubles up as a stir-fry sauce) to ensure the beef is tender and noodles are so tasty, you might just stick to this one stir fry for the rest of your life!...

On their own, eaten from the pack in front of the TV, Rolos are admittedly pretty awesome. Baked inside chocolate cookies though? There is no better way to eat them! These Gooey Rolo Stuffed Cookies are soft chewy cookies that taste delicious from the first bite, just get better as you nibble your way right through to the gooey center. I posted these cookies first for DIYs.com back in January and I tell you now, I really could have done with a few more of them this afternoon!...

So good! But some days there just isn’t time to wait 2 hours for a joint of lamb to cook. And that’s where this recipe comes into play. 10 minutes prep, 25 minutes in the oven and done. It’s full of flavour, and looks just so darn pretty! I created it for NEFF back in March, and I’ve been dreaming of recreating it ever since! In case you guys didn’t know, I do lots of work with NEFF....

A classic combination of honey, soy sauce and garlic working together to produce a sticky, sweet sauce to coat golden tender chicken pieces.

I made these for Cinco De Mayo last year, and have made them loads of times since (although not on the bbq - I’m not allowed to use Chris’s bbq - which is why he’s done the video this time! ha ha). One of the things I love about being a blogger, is getting inspiration from National or Celebratory days. I prefer the bigger ones such as Cinco De Mayo, bonfire night and Christmas....

Everyone loves a good take-out curry, but homemade chicken curry is something special. Even more so if you raid that spice cabinet and make everything from scratch. Served up in the middle of the table with a mountain of rice, some pita bread and mango chutney and you have a feast that’ll beat anything on that take-out menu! I make this one in my slow-cooker - but you could also cook it in a dutch oven or oven-proof pan....

My kids often vote for for spaghetti and meatballs - ’the sausagey ones!’. I rarely argue with that - it’s one of those meals where you can pretty much guarantee that everyone will clear their plates. And honestly, it doesn’t seem to matter how many meatballs I make, they ALWAYS seem to ALL get eaten. What do we need? Full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe at the bottom of this post....

Jump to:🍲 Love a stir-fry beef recipe? Try these Sweet and Tangy Crispy Beef with Broccoli 💬 Reviews Do you like sticky, crispy Chinese beef but worry about how brown and lacking-in-veg it can often look?I’m solving all of those problems with broccoli 😁 Ok, it doesn’t make this dish healthy, but a bit of green can only be good right? Looking at the recipe, it sounds like a lot of sugar and soy sauce (and it is), but the combination with the lime juice just works to give that beautiful sweet/sour/salty taste....

I’ve always been a sucker for mashed potatoes. As a kid, whenever it was roast dinner day, I’d ask for a large portion of mashed potatoes and gravy and as little as possible of everything else.

When I knew I was going to be leaving work, I pictured myself making fresh bread every day in my spotless house, and then following this up with some recipe development, laid-back food photography and writing - all whilst maturely sipping on espressos and congratulating myself on my gastronomic inventions. Sooooo here’s a picture of a cheese sandwich. Ok, it may not knock Heston’s socks off, but it is actually a really really good cheese sandwich....

Cheesy Pasta Bake With Chicken And Bacon is one of those dinners that the kids can polish off in no time - regardless of how many veggies I sneak in there. Peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach - it all gets thrown in. Sometimes I’ll add courgette or kale. If I’m being extra sneaky I might add some finely chopped mushroom too (I’m the only mushroom lover in our house - but they all eat mushrooms if they can’t identify them hee hee hee!...

I don’t think I need to say any more. Post complete. 🙂 Ok, I can’t just stop there, but it was so good that I lost all words as I looked at the picture and thought about how good this Chocolate Almond Banana Bread tasted before every last crumb was consumed.

How long do you think it took this carbivore and her equally carb-loving family to devour this 8-person salad? Let’s just say it didn’t last the day. One lovely meal, then constant trips back to the fridge until there was one solitary slice of red onion left. It’s my summer go-to meal - great to eat in its own right, or as a side dish as part of some meal-prep lunches....

Now we’ve got our little BBQ area built, Chris is after having barbecues for every meal. Since he’s the barbecue master, I guess he’s doing all the cooking from now on! and can you believe it…….. I’ve managed to get him in front of the camera for this one!!! I’ve been trying to get him in some recipe videos for AGES, and the only thing that worked was the threat of me touching his barbecue....

When I think of Red Wine Jus, I imagine being in France in a little bistro with waiters in white aprons flambéing steaks and crêpes. Jus is a French sauce ‘Au Jus’ meaning ‘with juice’ and this sauce makes use of every bit of those pan juices. It’s a tangy, rich sauce that goes so well with steak, and personally, I think it has a bit of a posher feel than regular steak sauces!...

Whilst I adore putting the slow cooker on the in the morning and having a meal pretty much waiting for me in the evening, one of the things I’m not keen on is when everything tastes the same. It’s all been cooking together for hours, and those flavours have been mingling, which means every mouthful can taste like the last. B-O-R-I-N-G! I don’t want greeny-brown green beans and potatoes that have no texture or bite to them....
