Scallops with leeks and lemon chilli butter
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 frozen ones.
Cupcakes - Dad's Delicious 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 of his own.
One thing led to another and we now have enough cupcakes to feed a small army.
Chicken with olives and tomatoes
I need quick and simple for tonight's dinner, we had loads going on and lot's of homework to catch up on.
This dish certainly didn't fail us. Simple and bursting with Mediterranean flavours.
Homemade Scotch Eggs
When the lunch box's come back from school just as full as when they arrived at school in the morning, you know it's time for a change. They all love the shop-bought Scotch Eggs, so I thought I would save some money and give it a go making them.
Crispy honey wings with a cheese and celery slaw
OK, tonight’s dinner was never going to be healthy and it came in at around £6, not £5. But it was tasty and I figured we can all be unhealthy once in a while.
Sweet & Sour Pork
A nice and easy one tonight. We have a few extras in the house today, with everyone trying to cram the most into the remaining few days of the school holidays.
To be completely honest I had most of the ingredients in the storecupboard and fridge. So all I needed to buy was the pineapple chunks and sugar snap peas.
