Quick and Easy Pasta Recipe
As part of my easy midweek meal recipes, I would like to introduce to you this simple, delicious and super quick and easy pasta recipe. Using just a few ingredients you can get this delicious dinner to the table in less than 15 minutes and it only costs a few pounds to feed the entire family. Family life seems to take over rather quickly. We never seem to have enough time. I'm either running about after the kids or helping them out with homework. You all know that I try to avoid processed food. I would rather cook from scratch and that way I know what we are eating. Plus, it is a lot cheaper. A midweek meal needs to not only be delicious and affordable. It needs to be quick and easy to prepare and cook. Most parents, myself included, don't have time to be in the kitchen for hours on end every night. Check out my latest affordable and homecooked recipe here.

Simple summer prawns recipe for one
So, with the kids off to their Mum's for a few days, it was time for this dad to let his hair down. Sadly not this week though. Work, housework and other stuff to catch up on…… I knew before I left for work, that I was going to be late home, so rummaged through the freezer and stumbled on some prawns I brought when on a yellow sticker at the supermarket, so got them out to defrost and trotted off to work. Simple summer prawns it was going to be.
60 Second Nutella Cookies
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.
Pork Chops with a miso mustard sauce and sesame green beans
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 them to suit my budget and our tastes. I hope you all enjoy this easy pork chop recipe as much as we have.
Smoked Salmon Pasta
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.
