Chicken and Chorizo Pasta
This is a great mid-week meal that any member of the family could cook up. The addition of the chorizo gives it a great smokey but not too spicy flavour. Bonus is that I had some leftover cooked chicken breast in the fridge so it made this super fast and easy. Ingredients: 1 chorizo sausage, […]
Pork and Chorizo Meatballs
We love pork mince for its versatility and that you can pack in heaps of flavours when using it. To make sure these meatballs had plenty of ‘punch’ I doubled the spices for this recipe. As an alternative, you could always finely chop a chorizo sausage or two and add it to the mix instead […]
Fettucini Carbonara
A mid-week pasta dish is a winner for the whole family. Easy for the cook to prepare and delicious for the family to eat. Dishes like this use staples we are all likely to have in the fridge and pantry. I know I always have a pack of bacon in the fridge. You can also […]
Thai Coconut Chicken and Satay Sauce
If I had to name my all time Top 5 favourite foods, then satay sauce would definitely be on that list. This recipe is so easy as we’ve already marinated the chicken breast and cut it like a schnitzel so it will cook within 10-12 minutes. Most of this recipe can be done simultaneously so […]

Tropical Ham Salad
If you need a different idea for using your ham on Christmas day then you might like to try this beautiful salad. It would also be a great option for using up the leftover ham in the week after Christmas. With all the food we tend to eat around Christmas time, this is a nice […]
Spicy Chilli Con Carne Slow Cooked
This Spicy Chilli Con Carne recipe is a great one to double the mince on so you can re-purpose the leftovers into tacos, burrito bowls, pies or even served on a baked potato. I love my slow cooker and use it all year round. The joy in having dinner done when we all get home […]
Strawberry Salad
This salad is usually made with mangos but here we’ve gone with something a little different by using strawberries as in this instance we wanted to show our support to the strawberry farmers. Ingredients: 1 punnet strawberries, cored and chopped in half 1/2 avocado, cut into large chunks 1 red chilli, finely diced 1/2 bunch […]
