Salted Pork with Lentils

Salted Pork with Lentils

I first came across this recipe when watching Rick Stein’s ‘French Odyssey’. Watching him make it felt super homely and I was in desperate need of some comfort food…that was a little different than my usual reaches.

He didn’t go into the details of quantities and as I didn’t own the recipe book and the recipe was not available on the interweb, I found myself making it up and hoping for the best.…

Comforting Chilli

We had a similar dish made by my talented sister-in-law, when we were in the UK. We loved it so much i had to recreate it when we came back home!

It’s such an easy week night dinner and freezes well – so make a double batch for an extra quick meal!

We serve ours topped with pickled Jalapeños, Franks ‘Red Hot’ sauce and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt – along side half a baked potato and a green salad…

Shove & Go

Now, I thought of this recipe with my little Archie (who is nearly 11 months, wooohooo) in mind. In the mornings, I can’t deal with finger foods. We’re generally pretty busy and it’s always when we’re busy and need to leave the house that he decides he’d like to make the most mess. I have a rather picky Australian Shepherd and he doesn’t like to eat off the floor much ( go figure ha ha) so our…

Power bliss balls

I don’t know about you, but come 2pm I am seriously hangry and turn into a snickers advert. If I leave it too long before I reach for a snack, I start to get the shakes and I know that nothing is going to make me feel better unless I devour something sweet.

Being a mum is busy. You’re constantly on the go. You’re always thinking about your little one and if they’ve had enough to eat or drink,…

Mrs Orford's Fried Eggs

Mrs Orford’s Fried Eggs

This is a simple, yet delicious dish. When I first created this recipe, I was inspired by Kylie Kwong’s ‘Mrs Jang’s home-style fried eggs’ which a relative had made me a number of years back. I remember being surprised by the ingredients and my husband’s facial expression was less than impressed! Needless to say, we both ate our words and went back for seconds.

It is one of my favourite…
