We first had Chicken souvlaki kebabs when we were on holiday in Cyprus earlier on this year and ever since then I've been meaning to have a go at making them. They've been on my weekly meal plan a few times since we came home but for one reason or another I've just never got around to attempting them. Yesterday though I was determined that we were going to have my version of chicken souvlaki kebabs for tea - I had the chicken, the Tzatziki, the pitta breads and everything else in that I needed to make them and I was good to go. That is, until I went to get the BBQ skewers out of the … [Read more...]
Warming split pea and ham soup….
My Nana used to make the BEST split pea and ham soup in the world and almost every time we visited her, there was a bowl of her special soup simmering away on the stove with some delicious dumplings in it, just waiting for me. I must have watched her make it at least a hundred times and I remember all of the ingredients as well as if she were here making it with me today. What I don't know is how much of everything she used to add because she never used her scales to measure out the soup ingredients - it was always a bit of this, some of that and a dash of this. No matter how many times I … [Read more...]
Amazing Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (with optional Nutella Swirls)….
Yesterday was my favourite day for ages as Miss Frugal and I had a girly afternoon in the kitchen together. She made all sorts of Lush inspired goodies and I baked some delicious chocolate chip banana bread which I'm just about to go and serve up to Mr Frugal with a cup of tea since I've got him painting the living room today. I hope he likes it as much as we enjoyed our slices yesterday! This is a great way to use up bananas that are just on the turn and to be honest, it's just as lovely without the chocolate chips and the Nutella so if you don't have them, don't buy them just to make … [Read more...]
Fakeaway chicken chow mein….
Fakeaway chicken chow mein is one of our favourite family meals and I'm pretty sure that if you try it, it'll quickly become one of yours too. Last night we had our favourite fakeaway chicken chow mein for tea and as I was cooking it, it occurred to me that I'd never actually shared my recipe with you! So, since I'm a nice person (honest) and I don't want you missing out on the chance to try this delicious meal I thought I'd share it with you today. It's great as a replacement for your local Chinese takeaway to save some money but it's also great for anyone who's doing Slimming … [Read more...]
Marvellous Meatball Marinara….
One of my missions for this month is to try and use up some of the food in the freezer as my lack of meal planning recently has meant that a lot of the bargains I've been buying with good intentions from the reduced section in the supermarket have been going straight in the freezer and simply staying there. This means I have a freezer full of food and not much room left for any more bargains!I spotted a couple of packets of sausages in there along with a big batch of my homemade tomato sauce so I thought I'd have a go at making meatball marinara for tea yesterday afternoon. I'm not usually a … [Read more...]
Super easy zesty green bean and feta rice salad #LoveYourLeftovers
I'm not a great cook but I do like to experiment in the kitchen and often find that the best recipes happen totally by accident. This delicious zesty green bean and feta rice salad came about as I had some leftover rice that I wanted to do something to that would make it interesting enough to take along to a BBQ we'd been invited to. I only used what I had in (hence the green beans instead of the peas that I had thought of using first) and considering how delicious his was and how many compliments I got on it, I think it worked out really well. Zesty green bean and feta rice salad 600g … [Read more...]
