Broccoli Orecchiette

Do you want to know how to make one of the cheapest and simplest tasty pasta dishes ever? Its also pretty low cal too depending on how much cheese you use! I saw this on another site that I follow called “Sip and Feast” there are some lovely recipes on there and not too difficult. …

Salt and Pepper Sweet Potato Wedges

  Stuck at home with a poorly baby, just come back from a weekend away and Ocado is due at 7.30pm, there is NOTHING in the house apart from a few bits of veg and a bag of sweet potatoes… I considered making soup but soup is boring, I don’t feel like I’ve eaten if …

Cauliflower, Pomegranate and Pistachio salad

Another healthy one I am afraid! A good lunchbox filler though if you like cauliflower and don’t like eating sandwiches every day! This recipe is from “Simple” by Otteolenghi – you may have noticed that it’s my new fave book –  my next one is also from there…. Some fattening food soon though I promise!! …

Avocado Butter on Toast with Tomato Salsa

First recipe I have tried from my new “Simple” book by Yotam Ottolenghi. I was flicking through this morning and stumbled across this beauty knowing I had a few over ripe avocados in the fruit bowl ( they were going to end up as guacamole on fajitas for tea). Simple and delicious and I will …

Baked Aubergine with Preserved Lemon and Yoghurt.

I know I know.. another Aubergine dish! But I do love them! Another one from Olive magazine with a few tweaks that I felt it needed. This is great served as a lunch or a side dish. The recipe in the magazine uses a few strands of saffron to colour the yoghurt but I personally …

Green beans with olives and goats cheese.

I cooked a nice meal for me and the other half this weekend, no babysitters so I brought the restaurant to us! I pulled some pages out of my Olive magazine and tried a few new dishes. This one was actually a dish that is served in Little Duck The Picklery and looked really fresh …

Cauliflower Tacos

The cauliflower I remember from childhood was almost like mashed potato it had been boiled that much! ( sorry Grandma G) but I grew to really like it like that if I am honest. These days there are so many more uses for cauliflower and I have recently seen cauliflower pizza bases, cauliflower rice, cauliflower …

Chilli and Chicken Ramen

I have been eating a lot of soup recently to try and keep the pounds off but quite frankly – ITS BORING!! It doesn’t even feel like eating so I had a think about how I could make it more interested and remembered a Ramen I had once at Wagamama. I looked at a few …

Vegetarian Stuffed Aubergines

I have been eating a lot of bulgar wheat lately, I find it soaks up flavours really well and it’s a lot more beneficial for you than a lot of other grains. It is high in protein, low in carbs, low in fat, high in fiber and rich in minerals. It can reduce the risk …

Kung Pao Cauliflower

Since starting my blog another benefit I have discovered is seeing other people’s food blogs too! There are a few I follow regulary and this recipe stuck out immediately and I have been wanting to try it for a while. I love spicy Szechuan food and I am a big fan of cauliflower and am …
