Cracking on with the Asian food, this recipe is pretty simple and uses things you’d probably have in your kitchen cupboards already. Again, I used whatever vegetables I had to hand; you can really put whatever you want in. We had this with chicken but I actually prefer it with salmon. It’s good either way… Continue reading Monday Night Meal – Chicken Teriyaki (ish)
In the spirit of the Chinese New Year of the Pig, I decided to make beef, OBVIOUSLY. There are many recipes for beef broccoli online; mine is what’s worked best for me when I’ve made this.

I haven’t baked for AGES so thought I’d get back involved. I’ve been going through my cookbooks lately (since I’ve started planning my meals) and have found loads of recipes I want to try and loads I’d forgotten about! I found the following recipe in a book I got from my sister-in-law for my birthday… Continue reading Banana & Maple Muffins
