Food

Another day and another fish! The kids will eat fish, but it isn't their favourite. So I tend to feed my love for it when they visit their mum.

Although I cooked this for myself, I have listed the ingredients and directions for two people to make it easier to work out for you.

After seeing some Sea Bass fillets on the yellow sticker shelve after work today, I grabbed a pack because it would do me for two nights because the kids are at their Mums tonight.

I have listed the ingredients to serve two, but could easily be doubled for four people.

Another slow cooker meal. I actually made the meatballs the night before and left in the fridge over night. I went for turkey meatballs because it was cheaper and made a change from beef. Also it is lighter so more suited to spring weather.

This is a great recipe to batch cook and freeze for another day.

Knowing that I had a manic day at work today and the kids had activities planned for after school, I decided to dig out the slow cooker for todays meal and did a little preparation before the morning school run.

This is full of flavours from the Mediterranean, with chorizo, tomatoes and peppers. The chicken literally falls of the bone and we really enjoyed mopping up the sauce with bread.

With it being the school holidays we spent the day exploring the South Downs. Muddy paths, giant mud puddles and chalk cliffs. With the kids taking it in turns showering, changing and generally winding down, I needed something quick and filling.

Searching through the freezer this morning I found some chicken legs I must have picked up from the yellow sticker section of the supermarket. We had a hectic afternoon after school so I needed a quick and simple dinner plan

I cooked this for myself only because the kids were at their Mums, however it would be easy to scale up and wouldn't cost much more than £5.00. So if you want something that is quick and easy to cook and tasted great, give it a go.

My local supermarket had run out of fresh scallops and I didn't have time to get to the fishmongers. So, I opted for a bag of the frozen ones.

Being the night after the big day. I had a lot of tired, grumpy and kids. We needed something filling and quick. This meal didn't fail and at under £4.00 all in was great value for money too.

With the big school trip tomorrow to prepare for, tonights meal needed to be quick and simple. This fabulous recipe from BBC Good Food didn't disappoint. The kids love a burger, so whats not to love

Any one who follows my Instagram or Facebook Page will have seen over the weekend we had our own mini Bake Off. The little lady decided for her Egyptian Topic Homework this week she would make cupcakes, with little pyramids on top. Not to be outdone. The middle boy, in turn wanted to make some cupcakes off his own. One thing led to another and we now have enough cupcakes to feed a small army.
