Fritters are always my saviour when a. I don’t know what to feed the family, b. when I want and easy meal, c. when I have bits and pieces in the fridge to use up. Going through the fridge this morning trying to figure out what are we going to eat for the next three […]

Slow Cooker Beef and Red Lentil Stew – Dump Bag
I really love it when a brand listens to us as parents and brings us new more natural products where you can actually understand what the ingredients are on the packet.

Baked Gnocchi and Chorizo
I love a good baked dish that is easy to prepare and cooks happily by itself while I get all the things done before dinner is served. As this dish cooks the flavours that a released will have everyone lining up to eat it before it is ready. I tried D’Orsogna’s new 100% Natural Chorizo […]

Served with guacamole, sour cream and salad for good measure. It turned out delicious and […]

Alternatively, you can simply slice ham to your desired thickness and enjoy straight away without cooking. You will find them […]
