So I may have surpassed myself. This was AMAZING. We went to a BBQ on Sunday and these are what I had planned to make and then I ran out of time. The idea had been pinging around in my head for a few days, today it unravelled turning into a salsa and tasty rice […]
Spicy Salmon with Roasted Veg
I’m on my quest to find ways to get oily fish into the family. Today I had a play around with making a rub for the fish, which myself and the hubby loved, the children found it a little spicy… which just meant the rub got scraped off their plates onto ours. Win Win. Next […]
Mango and Date Flapjacks (gluten and wheat free)
Now it’s been a couple of weeks since we made flapjacks due to sickness in the household. My oh my, how I’ve missed you flapjack! I’ve found myself looking at the flapjack tin wishing it was full. So today was the day. Myself and the toddler went flapjack-tastic, making our usual banana and sultana favourite […]
Homemade Mackerel and Sweetcorn Pate
Oily fish is something that I’m trying to get my family to eat more of. So I was almost too excited when I came across a huge range of tinned fish in our local Polish delicatassen. To be fair I can’t read Polish but it’s quite easy to work out words like Mackerel and Sardines! […]
Orange, Cinnamon and Raisin Pancakes
Last night I switched on the TV to see the Antiques Roadshow was on. It instantly transported me back to a family tradition we had when I was growing up of Sunday tea in front of the television watching the Antiques Roadshow and Last of the Summers Wine. It was something we only did when […]
Slow Cooker Roast Chicken.
We aren’t a traditional family especially when it comes to food. My Sri Lankan roots and time spent living abroad in Asia means my cooking often has a little twist to it. One British my my family does love is a traditional roast. However I hate all the cleaning up afterwards. That was until I […]
Healthy Apple and Cinnamon Cakes (gluten free).
Apple and cinnamon, one of those amazing combinations. I’m such a fan. I even love it on porridge. So tonight I had a play around with making it into a healthy muffin. Now I’ve gone for the unsweetened version, add the little drizzle of honey in if you have a sweeter tooth than me (I’m […]
Vegetable Patties (gluten free)
As a teenager I was a vegetarian for a while and one of the foods I loved were some form of Vegetable Grills, they inspire this recipe. That taste and love of vegetaraian food has never left me, if hubby would let me I’d be a vegetarian now but he loves he meat too much […]
Apricot and Yoghurt Healthy Flapjack Bars
Flapjacks. There is no getting around the fact that I LOVE them. I’m not talking the treacle, syrup, butter version – that’s a bit too much for my tummy and my palate. The type I like is the not too sweet, fruity, oaty, chewy type. So I am constantly on the look out for new […]
Homemade Fish Fingers made by a toddler
My 3 year old has been watching, helping and cooking with me since she was a baby. Whether in a sling, a bumbo, highchair or stood on a stool she has always loved it. Mainly because she gets to eat it, and this girl is a true foodie. Given the choice of what to have […]
