Summer spaghetti meatballs - Simple, cheap and quick, the perfect meal for a warm midweek dinner following some a nice afternoon stroll.

The little lady found a 60 second Nutella cookie recipe over on TikTok, unfortunately, she couldn't find it again. She could remember the ingredients, just not the amounts of each item. But with a little playing around, we found the correct balance.

And when we did find that correct balance the outcome was amazing. The cookies tasted amazing with an extra gooey chocolate bit in the centre. The little lady loved her creation and we have had them several times since.

If you are looking for some simple baking to do with the kids, that doesn't take too long or create too much mess, have a go at this and let us know how you got on.

For the sake of this recipe, I will give approximate measurements but have spare of each ingredient to be able to adjust.

A short while ago I was sent the recipe book and Diary from The Diary Diary team. As soon as I opened the package, I was thrown straight back to my childhood. every year around Christmas time, my mum would get these delivered with her special Christmas delivery from the milkman.

I can honestly say that I didn't know that they were still producing them. But was pleasantly surprised how good they were. On top of a week to page diary, you get some amazing recipes to try in the actual diary and the recipe book is full of some wonderful recipe ideas for the family.

There is a range of mouth-watering breakfasts, lunches and weekday meals and to top it off some lovely weekend specials.

All of the recipes are fairly easy to follow and the ones that we have tried have been delicious. The recipe that I am doing today was very popular in our house and even got the kids eating asparagus! It took no time to prepare and less than half an hour to cook, so perfect after a day of home learning.

A really light and fluffy bread. It would be ideal for dipping in vinegar and oil..... mmmmm yummy! This is a really simple recipe for some delicious and easy no-knead bread.

I am really pleased that the yellow sticker section in my local supermarket has started to get used again and this week I managed to grab some lovely pork chops for £2.71 for 6. So, I kept 4 out for dinner and chucked a couple in the freezer for another day.

After seeing a couple of asian inspired pork recipes over the last month, I adapted to suit my budget and our tastes. I hope you all enjoy this easy pork chop recipe as much as we have.

Sometimes you need something quick and easy for your mid-week meals and this Chicken Satay recipe fits the bill well. Served with sticky rice and a cucumber salad, turns a traditional snack into an evening meal rather nicely.

Being unusually organised, I remembered to get the chicken breast out of the freezer in the morning, allowing them to be thoroughly defrosted by early evening.

It may appear to be a large list of ingredients. However a lot of it you may already have in the cupboard. It came in at just over £5 but did make enough for my lunch the next day.

I saw something similar to this smoked salmon pasta on TV earlier in the year, so when I saw a half-side of salmon in the yellow sticker section for £3.78, I thought I would try my take on it.

It is another really easy recipe and is perfect for a mid-week meal as it takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish.

This another amazing recipe from the recipe book from The Diary Diary team.

I already had some salmon in the freezer following spotting some in the yellow sticker section of the supermarket last time I was there. So I grabbed them out before bed last night to allow them to defrost.

Not only was this recipe delicious and full of colour, but It also only took 10/15 minutes to prepare and only 15 minutes to cook.
