Steak and cheese. What a combo. I’d been craving one of these for a while so after finding a tiger bread baton on a whoopsies I thought, tonight is the night! This is definitely not a traditional PCS as you’d never find a pepper or a mushroom in this sarnie usually but the veggies are a lovely addition to bulk out the meal and make it more filling.
One of the main reasons I made the change from an air fryer with a rotating paddle, to a double drawer air fryer was to make crispy and crunchy chicken. I found the air fryer with the paddle seemed to knock off the coating and I’d heard so many good things about the Ninja, I thought it would be worth the investment. This proved very quickly to be the right decision as we’ve used it almost daily since it was delivered and I can confirm, it’s the perfect vessel to make this Crunchy Korean Chicken.
I often pick up the bang bang satay salad from M&S and so I really wanted to recreate it at home for myself. Recently I made up a big batch of it so Michael and I could have it for lunches and I can confirm, it’s so good. It’s really easy to throw together, I like to keep the salad dressing in a little pot to mix through just before I eat it (can’t be doing with a soggy salad)!
When you want to be good but fancy a breakfast treat, these cookies are just the thing to whip up. Quick and easy to make, they make a lovely breakfast to have on the go, to make in advance for the week or to have with a cuppa as a snack later in the day. The texture of these cookies is delightful, rather than having a hard, biscuit snap, they are soft and gooey and can be pulled apart to be eaten.
Nduja is a very fashionable ingredient at the moment and for very good reason, it’s absolutely delicious! With all the lovely paprika flavours of chorizo but a more loose and spreadable consistency, it’s a great, versatile ingredient which can be used in so many different ways.
Buffalo sauce is one of my favourite store cupboard essentials so I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate it into our meal plans and that’s how this little number came about. This is a lovely comforting pasta recipe which is not only quick and easy to whip up, but its packed with lots of lovely flavours.
When we used to live in Manchester we used to head to Altrincham Market most weekends as the food in there was always good. Inside there was the most amazing little window that served the freshest Korean Rice Bowls and they were always my go too choice of dinner. I got a proper craving for one this week and so I decided to try and recreate it at home. The result was delicious. Low in points yet so filling and satisfying, the flavours and textures of this dish are so fresh and zingy, you will want it again the next day!
Thai Basil Chicken is a favourite of mine when I’m eating out but wasn’t something I’d ever really attempted at home. One night, after taking my fancy, I decided to give it a go and the results were delicious. A straight forward and uncomplicated recipe, this is perfect for a quick week night tea. I add a whole sliced chilli as I love a bit of spice (and that’s how it usually comes in a Thai restaurant) but if you don’t like things too hot, you could use half or leave it out entirely.
Thai red curry is one of my favourite go to’s when I’m eating out but the full fat coconut milk used in Thai restaurants often makes the dish high in calories and for me, a bit too rich. I often make a quick Thai curry at home using shop bought curry paste (which I’m still a big fan of) and light coconut milk but more recently I decided to give making my own paste a go.
