Baked KFC Style Chicken
Driving home one night I suddenly had a random thought about making baked KFC chicken, and when I last did it was SUCH a success. Garry recently said to me that this is the best thing I’ve cooked in a long while, and “considering almost everything you cook is delicious that’s saying something”

Almond Chocolate Cup-Cakes
One of the best things about Slimming World (aside from mountains of nommy food and the best cross trainer workouts) is…nommy desserts that they give you in the magazines.

Baked Sea Bass with Peppers
In my search for ways to eat fish that don’t make me want to gag, I’m finding quite a few recipes that aren’t just edible but that are utterly fantastic. This is one of these recipes.
It takes about an hour to cook but only ten minutes to prepare — you just have to bung everything in a pan and then in the oven.… Read the rest

After months of hearty meals with potato and veg, this marked my first venture into what might be classed as slightly posh cooking.
Yes, cooking a quiche is posh where I come from. Let’s accept that and move on.
