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. The other night I had a real craving for chocolate cake and thankfully had ripped this recipe out of the Slimming World magazine for future reference.… Read the rest
Hot Cross Bun French Toast
It started with an Instagram post. More specifically, Lauren’s Instagram post about the Hot Cross Bun French Toast she’d been enjoying with her brother.
Lauren does Easter in the way she does most things: properly, and with much enthusiasm. I do not do Easter properly.… Read the rest
Riverford vegetarian quick box: Review
Just before I was about to move flat, Riverford contacted me and asked if I’d like to try a free sample of their vegetarian quick veg box and do an honest review. I have always wanted to try a veg box but never quite been brave enough to go for it, and considering it had everything in it for two meals for two people I thought it’d be good to cook when we were still in a new flat and still getting sorted.… Read the rest
Hunter’s Chicken
I am a really big fan of Hunter’s Chicken. There’s BBQ Sauce, there’s chicken, there’s bacon, there’s cheese…what’s not to like? This recipe is one I’ve made up myself. I’m rather proud of it, because it was lush.

Balsamic Chicken and Paprika Potatoes
Another recipe that’s perfect for Saturday night, when you want something that tastes like a takeaway or a restaurant meal but that’s still healthy. This one is from the Slimming World magazine, and I’ve only made it once. Thinking back, I can’t understand why.… Read the rest
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
Baked KFC Style Chicken
I am SO EXCITED to share this recipe with you today, my darlings. I’ve been thinking about making this for months, and when I 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”
Let’s back up a bit.… Read the rest
