Philly Cheesesteak

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.

Crunchy Korean Chicken

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.

Creamy Chicken Satay Salad

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)!

Creamy Paprika Salmon

Creamy Paprika Salmon

This little number is a recipe I wrote when I was pregnant with my second child. I had a real craving for all things creamy and all things salmon one week and so this recipe was born. The flavour and texture of the sauce feel so indulgent and yet the amount of points/calories that the total meal comes to is really reasonable, definitely something that you can fit into your weekly menu plan.

Korean Sticky Salmon

Korean Sticky Salmon

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

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.
