Stews are one of… Continue reading Chicken, Tomato & Borlotti Bean Stew with Chicken Crisps

Well, it’s more like ‘Frogs in a Field’! My mum used to make this version of Toad in the Hole and it was one of my favourite meals as a child. Though it is based on the classic dish, there are a few added extras with one of the main differences being that I chop… Continue reading Toad in the Hole with a Twist
This is a little recipe that I picked up while chatting with another mum on the school run. I mentioned our Homemade Fish fingers that use cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs which prompted her to reveal this, even simpler method of coating chicken nuggets, using mayonnaise and Rice Krispies!
