Creamy, cheesy, smooth golden polenta topped with rich brown Portobellini Mushrooms sautéed in olive oil, garlic and onions. YUM!! Yum is the word.
This week I’ve decided to share 4 simple weeknight dinners with you guys. In the hopes that I can make your lives a little easier by giving you some fresh ideas for delicious dinners that don’t take too long to prepare and that are a little different to the norm.
I’m so excited about this One Pan Creamy Basil Chicken & Rice Casserole – it takes 20 minutes to prepare and while it’s cooking away in a nice hot oven you can get on with other things. 55 minutes later you have a steaming, bubbling, aromatic, SERIOUSLY tasty basil chicken & rice dinner that the whole family will love.
The simple ingredients for this one pot meal include chicken breasts, basil, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, chicken broth, coconut milk and brown rice. So simple, so scrumptious! And hardly any washing up!!
I’m all about simple tasty food that can be made relatively quickly without sacrificing how delicious it looks or tastes. This Chicken Skillet hits all the right notes for me, and I’m sure it will for you too!
One bowl and one pan to wash up once you’re finished cooking, and a scrumptious and nutritious meal on the table that, by the way, LOOKS SO amazing no one could resist!! I love the quinoa in this recipe – a sneaky little super healthy addition that adds to the dish in flavour and adds heaps of visual interest.
Isn’t any day a good day for healthy pizza? I would have to say uhhhhmmm YES!! Of course! I once heard someone say if you don’t like cheese or pizza then you’re probably not my kind of person. Ha! A bit harsh perhaps but I’m tempted to agree just a little tiny bit. I mean….Pizza!?!? …
This “creamy” Chicken Pasta With Herby Avocado Pesto Sauce is made with fresh basil, fresh parsley, avocado, Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper. And is mixed generously into a bowl of freshly cooked penne pasta and topped with some slices of succulent grilled chicken. Such an easy and delicious weeknight meal.
A Vegetarian Feast for Cheese Lovers! It’s that time of year where being a little more indulgent than usual is acceptable, even expected. I’d say it’s compulsory! Why not add a little more cheese – sprinkle a little extra mozzarella and white cheddar here and there – live on the wild side with this brinjal…
This Crustless Tomato Tart is inspired by the original tomato tart, this one is it’s crustless cousin. Much healthier, lighter, easy to make and just as delectable…All the cheesy, herby, tomatoey flavours are there, you also get some crunch from the cheesy topping. There’s something about the good old tomato & melted cheese combo that warms…
A Vegetarian Mushroom Stir Fry Packed with Flavour & Goodness. Calling all veggie lovers and vegetarians and vegans! This dish is for you. I’m super excited with how this mushroom broccoli & ginger stir fry developed into something soooo yummy. You can’t really go wrong when you have a bowl of little mushies FULL of…
You’ll want to take note of this omelette recipe! Whenever my aunt comes to visit from Spain, she makes us a (or several if I have anything to do with it!) Potato Omelette. It is one of the simplest yet most Deeeelicious dishes I have ever eaten and I could eat the whole thing all…
This zucchini quiche is everything a summer quiche should be… I think we may finalllllly be heading into summer over here on the south-east edge of Africa. I say this hesitantly because every time I think it, another few days of rain and chilly winds roll in….But as I look up from my little perch…
This quiche packs a punch in the flavour and colour department! Happy October everyone! It’s officially summer…Although you wouldn’t know it in this neck of the woods. We have had one cold rainy day after the next for the past few weeks. Today though – the sun is out! That’s enough to put a smile…
When something is a classic – it’s for a reason. And pizza dough for the learner dough maker. Classic doesn’t always equal boring, well not in this case anyway. This pizza is packed with flavour and though it’s probably the simplest topping you could make, it stands its ground against the more exotic flavour…
Packed with nutrients and fibre, this lentil stew is healthy comfort food at its best! Growing up I don’t remember ever eating legumes, I didn’t really know they existed. The first time I ate a chickpea was when our Spanish relatives came to visit us and they made us Garbanzos. I thought they were delicious…
It’s a classic chicken sandwich with a refreshing twist… They say ideas are like hiccups – they appear out of nowhere. That’s exactly how the idea to make this sandwich came to me, it just hit me this morning that a chicken, caramelised onion and & pear sandwich is just what I needed for my…
Meatballs that will cook themselves while you’re busy doing other things? Yes! I started making this recipe a few years ago when I felt like a meatball dish, but I didn’t feel like standing in the kitchen for 4 hours making it. Whenever I had made meatballs before it always turned into a kitchen marathon…
