Recipes

If you are like me I have cooked more of my meals at home since the world changed! This hasn't been a complete change though; I have always loved cooking! I just have more of my evenings and weekends to cook even more dishes. However, like a lot of people, I have been working full-time from home since March 2020 and I don't always have time to make fireworks. I just want some good food in me, quick! Join me exploring quick meals, treats, but also special dishes I enjoy taking my time to cook.

Making your own ice cream might not be something you thought of before, but this is super easy and delicious to whip together that you'll wonder why you haven’t tried it earlier! Double Chocolate and hazelnut are a match made in heaven and homemade ice cream is here to stay! I use my Kenwood stand mixer (an electric whisk will do the job) and love the simple steps to make lovely dessert to share!

Hot Chipotle Chili Turkey steak & Avocado on Sourdough toast

Hot Chipotle Chili Turkey steak & Avocado on Sourdough toast

Packed with hot chipotle flavour, hot and quick to make the best combination for lunch. A perfect boost in the middle of day or treat at the weekend. We usually have this when we get back from church as its super quick to make and minimal clean up after means a relaxed afternoon, we sometimes use disposal plates to to limit this even further. The depth of flavour from this comes from jalapeno chili pepper that has been smoked and dried.

Open sandwich style helps keep the bread intake low (as I am a bread addict lol). The succulent turkey steak placed on a slice of toast and smashed avocado, topped with pink onions and cherry tomatoes is the perfect combination. This allows for a lazy afternoon or quick lunch during the week. I love hot sandwiches so this is definitely a winner for me!
