One thing I am making a habit of doing while the weather is warm is making salads especially to take to work. A little bit of prep in the evening on a Sunday means that I just grab my container from the fridge on a work day and off I go. I save money and […]

Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole
This delicious family meal creamy chicken and mushroom casserole is filled with great flavours and ones that everyone will enjoy. It uses one pan and one baking dish helping to keep the dishes down (and keep us happy). The use of Carnation Light & Creamy evaporated milk means that I have also kept the calories […]
Laksa Style Noodles with Chicken and Vegetable
On our table last night I served Laksa style noodles with chicken and vegetables. Now this isn’t a recipe for a traditional laksa. It is more of one of my creations that works for us and for the hotter Summer weather. If you wanted to make this into more of the traditional laksa soup add […]
Marinated Chicken Lovely Legs
Chicken Lovely Legs were on special last week, so of course a couple of packets jumped in my trolley…one for the freezer one to cook during the week. Lovely Legs are the chicken drumstick with no skin and the stick part trimmed and cut short. They are great for slow roasting and marinating. I did […]
Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Hidden Vegetables
We have never been big chicken nugget eaters in this house, Mr 5 has never asked for them and I have never bought the frozen variety for them to have. However, Mr 3 did point them out on a recent trip for a treat meal at a fast food restaurant so I decided it was […]

This week I used leftover roast chicken to make this really easy layered cheesy chicken and vegetable pasta bake. This is a great family […]

It is a great budget friendly meal that turns leftovers into a meal the whole family will enjoy. Most of the cooking has already been done, so once the gnocchi is cooked and tossed with the other […]
Homemade Skinless Chicken & Apricot Sausages
My boys love sausages! Now they aren’t the most healthiest meat option but they are great for quick meals once a week, BBQ’s or of course with mashed potato gravy and peas. The supermarkets are starting to sell more variety and healthier options in a sausage, but you know what – they are expensive. $6 […]
Baked Lemon Chicken Drumsticks
Sunday Roast, we all love them but sometimes they can be rather time consuming and expensive. I decided to turn the humble chicken drumstick into a family Sunday Roast last week and this Baked Lemon Chicken Drumsticks were given the big thumbs up. Roasts don’t always have to be large cuts of meat that take […]
