My recipe for Actifry Fajitas is actually so simple that I feel like a bit of a fraud calling it a recipe.  It's currently our favourite meal though so I thought it was worth a share today.I've been after an Actifry for ages and last month, I finally caved and bought one when I saw them on offer in B&M for about £30 cheaper than I'd seen it anywhere else. I don't think I've quite converted to the Actifry fan club but I've got high hopes for when I've got the hang of it.So far, I've used it for chips which are OK and these Actifry Fajitas which the kids have informed me are … [Read more...]

Everywhere I look right now, I see someone trying that Tik Tok Tomato and Feta Pasta so yesterday I decided to give it a go.

This homemade pizza recipe is about to become your most used recipe. Whether you're making it by hand or using your breadmaker, it never fails to impress!I first shared my homemade pizza recipe about five years ago and I'll be honest, it hasn't changed since then because there's no point messing with something that works every time, right? 😂 It's still a family meal that we have regularly and it's still a great way to use up leftovers and get the kids involved in cooking tea no matter how old they get.  The idea of making pizza just seems to appeal to them so even if it … [Read more...]
