Potato Wedges Served With Garlic Mayonnaise
This is a great snack which can be made really quickly! These wedges have a slight spiciness and tastes wonderful with the herbs. Kids will definitely love them and if you want to take the spice out then just omit it from the recipe. My Kids love it with garlic mayonnaise, a real winner!
Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed With Spinach and Rice
This is a great way to use up any left over rice and is a lovely satisfying, filling dish. I served this with some sea bass and it really worked well together. The spinach and the garlic in the rice bring out totally new flavours and tastes amazing.
Pizza Baguette with Courgette and Aubergine
This is a great alternative to pizzas. I wanted to share this recipe because it is really simple and quick and tastes really good! I made this dish in a hurry once by just creating whatever I had in the fridge. I ended up making this great wholesome version of a pizza. What I enjoyed about this is the different vegetables that I used and I guess you could do the same with whatever vegetable you have in the fridge. So have a go........
Olive Pinwheels
Well guys, New Years Eve is approaching fast and for those of you who are hosting parties, this is a fantastic and quick snack that tastes really delicious. You can make this in advance and just reheat in the oven to make it crispy again.
Mushrooms Stuffed With Parsley Breadcrumbs
Wow, these mushrooms are packed with flavour. The parsley works really well with the mushrooms. I have also added lemon zest to bring out a wonderful summery taste. These mushrooms go particularly well with fresh grilled fish. You can even serve them on its own with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Vegetarian Quorn Lasagne
Quorn is a meat free protein that’s low in fat, high in protein and has zero cholesterol, making it ideal for a healthy meal. This lasagne is packed with flavours. Using Quorn mince gives it a fuller texture and works really well with the vegetables and cream cheese topping and therefore is a very balanced dish. This is a very unusual style of lasagne and for those looking for a slightly different vegetarian option, this is just perfect. Serve with a healthy portion of salad or garlic bread. Delicious!!
Red Pesto Macaroni
This is one of my kid’s favourite dishes. Many people love pasta dishes and macaroni in particular can be a little bit bland, so I have added red pesto in the white sauce to get a nice flavour along with a good amount of spinach and sweet corn to make it a more wholesome dish. You can serve it with a salad or garlic bread.
Goats Cheese Pizza with a Sweet Onion Chutney Topping
I love this pizza! It has such great flavours. I like the taste of savoury cheese with the sweet onion chutney, it really works well together. The flavour of the goat’s cheese is quiet strong and for those who have never tried this cheese I have combined it with the mozzarella cheese to make it milder. Once you have tried the cheese and for those who love goats cheese you do not need to add the mozzarella cheese. Try this pizza it definitely is different to your everyday pizza!
Chilli Tagliatelle with Prawns and Cream (For Veggie Option Omit the Prawns)
Wow this is a great dish for all pasta lovers. I found this wonderful chilli and red pepper tagliatelle in a supermarket which gives a real subtle flavour in this recipe. You can also use normal fresh tagliatelle which is available in all supermarkets. The thyme with the cream mushrooms and prawns just add an extra yummy flavour and they really work well together.
