Spring is finally here and this lemony risotto is the perfect light and tasty dinner for those longer spring evenings as we make our way in to summer! I picked this recipe up in Italy, and we all know the Italians aren’t playing when it and it is quick and easy and you don’t need to be a Master Chef to make it.
Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers
Take your burgers to a whole new level with these melt in the middle blue cheese burgers! Simple to make, perfect for a bit of comfort in the winter or on the barby in the summer. This recipe will not disappoint!
Creamy Tomato & Chicken Rigatoni
This delicious pasta recipe is perfect for a quick and easy meal when you want something that tastes like you put a lot of effort in to it, but doesn’t take all night.
Prawn, Chilli & Rocket Pasta
If you want something quick for dinner which tastes like you spent hours putting love and attention in to it, then this is the recipe for you.
Pink Pasta
Ok so I admit, Pink Pasta does sound a little strange but hear me out. If like me you always thought beetroot was just that thing that came in jars and went on a salad and was a nightmare to get out of your clothes your wrong, well maybe not about the clothes part.
Roasted Sweet Potato & Leek Soup
This is one tasty little number. Its simple to make and simply gorgeous! The sweet potato crisps to garnish just take the whole dish to another level so I definitely recommend making them. The best part is if you don’t use them all on the soup you have a tasty low fat snack for later. This soup is syn free, dairy and gluten free 🙂
Chicken, Chilli and Red Pesto Pasta
I absolutely love pasta. I could eat it every day, three times a day, if my metabolism allowed me to, however, mine doesn’t allow me to sniff a burger without putting on three pounds so unfortunately that’s out the window. There is a pasta dish in Zizi’s that I absolutely love, however, being on Slimming World, its probably far too many syns. So I set about to make my own Slimming World friendly version and I have to say, its delicious! I must warn you, I do like a bit of spice so if you are what I call “A Lemon and Herb” kinda of person you may want to use one red chilli instead of two.
Tomato & Basil Soup
Tomato and basil soup, it is a bit of a classic. I have tried so many different variations of this soup but the basics are always the same. The most important thing is to get good tasty tomatoes. If your tomatoes taste like sawdust then you might as well not bother.
Beetroot & Basil Soup
I think I am slightly in love with this beetroot and basil soup, it honestly tastes as good as it looks. The sweetness of the basil compliments the earthiness of the beetroot perfectly. They are kinda like Chandler and Monica getting together in Friends, you never really thought about them being together before but when they do get together you just know they were meant to be.. If you’ve never tried roasted beetroot before or not sure if you like it, this is the recipe that is going to make you a convert!
Tarragon & Lemon Roast Chicken
The Sunday Roast. A British Classic. However the Roast Chicken gets a bit of a bad rap. Its not always as exciting as lamb or beef and lets face it, we have all had a roast chicken which is bland, tasteless and dry. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to transform your every day bland roast chicken to a taste explosion that will make you feel like there is a party in your mouth… too far? you get the point.
