I know I'm late to the Airfryer party but since we got our Ninja Pro last month, I've been experimenting with the different things that I can cook in there and today, I thought I'd share some of the things that I've been cooking in there. One of my most popular posts at the moment is 'Nine things that you can make in the slow cooker that might surprise you' so I thought I'd do a similar post about Airfryers because in my limited time of having one, I've realised just how versatile they can be. I have a few accessories that I use with my air fryer - I bought them when I … [Read more...]
This month’s Batch Cooking wins….
This month I feel like I’ve properly found my rhythm in the kitchen with some really intentional cooking. Nothing fancy, nothing Instagram-perfect, just food that actually works for us.I’ve been batch cooking a few simple things, popping them in the freezer, and quietly feeling that little glow of achievement (AKA feeling smug) every time dinner comes together with no stress. It’s made such a difference to how the weeks have felt, so I wanted to share a few of the batch cooking wins that have genuinely made life easier.I thought I'd share a few of my batch cooking wins from this … [Read more...]
Eight ways to use up Leftover Rice {Safely}…
I’ve got another post to share today from my Love Your Leftovers series and this time it’s all about using up leftover rice. It’s such a flexible ingredient and there are so many easy ways to turn it into a whole new meal. 😊Rice is one of those brilliant ingredients that can stretch into so many quick meals with hardly any effort at all. It bulks things out beautifully, works with almost anything you’ve already got in the fridge and can be turned into a whole new dish in minutes. Whether you’ve accidentally cooked too much (this is me every time 😂) or you’ve got a bowl left … [Read more...]
The best meals to take to work in a flask….
Taking your own lunch to work in a flask isn’t just a great way to save money, it also means you can eat something hot and comforting instead of spending a fortune in the canteen, grabbing another meal deal or ordering a take-away. I've had a small pink chilly's flask for a few years now and have used it sporadically over the colder months for my lunches at work but I don't use it as well as I could and get bored easily as I tend to just put soup in it and you can only eat so much soup, right?It also only keeps food hot for 4-6 hours so I can pop food in it at 8am before I leave … [Read more...]
Simple, Realistic Ways to Reduce Your Food Budget….
Did you catch last week's post about what a realistic food budget looks like in 2026? If not, I recommend going and having a quick look before reading this one? I shared some information about what 'average' families spend in the UK in 2026 and it might really help you to understand where your own food shopping budget fits with that. What I wanted to talk about today is how you can reduce your spend, or at least share what's worked for me.After figuring out our own realistic food budget, the biggest thing that helped me to then bring it down to a level that feels … [Read more...]
Eight ways to use up Yorkshire Puddings {and my tried and true recipe}….
I’ve got another post to share today from my Love Your Leftovers series and this one isn't one that I planned when I first wrote a list of foods that I was going to feature in this series. I got a message a couple of weeks ago asking if I could do Yorkshire Puddings and I admit, my first thought was 'Why?' - we never have a leftover Yorkshire Pudding in this house. 😁 But I have been batch cooking my Yorkshires over the last few months so I thought I'd give it a go as I have plenty in the freezer. As I say, leftover Yorkshire puddings don’t happen often in this house, … [Read more...]
