Mexican chicken & rice salad

Mexican chicken & rice salad

Rice, chicken and veggies with a taco seasoning dressing. There really isn’t much to dislike about this recipe. You can pop all the ingredients into one bowl and mix…. or if there are fussy eaters in your house you can prep the veggies separately and

We love Mexican food and have on weekly rotation tacos or nachos. Both are super easy to make with left over pulled pork and a handful of fresh ingredients. The kids have been enjoying rice bowls too and as their taste buds have developed we 

creamy chicken and bacon pasta

Creamy chicken and bacon pasta is a delicious and indulgent meal that you only need to make once to get hooked. Sometimes you feel like a chicken salad and other times it’s creamy pasta. It’s comfort food that really hits the spot. Peas are optional

Stuffed spuds are a winner in our house and super easy to make with left overs or our shredded chicken and bacon sauce. It takes an hour to cook a potato in the oven and they can be cooked ahead of time. You can also 

creamy lemon chicken

The family fell in love with creamy lemon chicken from Lala’s Kitchen when it appeared as a guest recipe on skinnymixers with Thermomix instructions. The only problem was I was left washing a pan, the Thermomix and an oven dish. I have been able to

Larb Gai is one of our favourite Thai dishes for eating out or eating at home. You can make it with your choice of mince but our favourites are chicken or pork. The sauce is a combination of sweet, sour and tangy made with brown 

Chicken paella (without the seafood)

Chicken paella (without the seafood)

I love a paella but I do not love seafood. While my kids will eat fish & chips and panko prawn nigiri (tail and all) as a favourite Japanese snack, we do not cook a lot of seafood at home. I have experimented with a

Turkey breast brined and smoked. Brining adds flavour and loosens the proteins found in meat allowing them to hold moisture better thus resulting in a juicier meat.

chicken lollipops

Barbecued, cool looking, sweet and sticky chicken drumsticks. With a little bit of prep work you can make the average chicken drumstick look like a giant lollipop. Also makes eating them a lot easier. Oh and the taste really good too!

dusted chicken wings with a BBQ honey glaze

dusted chicken wings with a BBQ honey glaze

Lightly spiced chicken wings, oven baked with a BBQ honey glaze. Great for entertaining or as an appetizer. This recipe calls for the wings to be oven baked but they will taste equally as good (of not a little better) grilled on the barbecue or smoker.

South African chicken curry

A mild chicken curry made in the Thermomix that replaces potato with cauliflower. Aromatic, full of flavour and lighter on the spices than some traditional curries, this recipe is great for the whole family.

pork fillet with a spicy marmalade glaze

Pork fillet with a sweet and spicy glaze has been a favourite in my family since I was a kid growing up in South Africa. A simple dish that is delicious for a weeknight meal and flavoursome enough to impress for a dinner party.

buttermilk fried chicken burger

buttermilk fried chicken burger

The first time I tried buttermilk fried chicken I was really impressed with the taste and texture. It was served in a burger and it was only a matter of time until I tried it at home. It may seem like there are a lot of steps involved but it’s not as complicated as you may think. You will, however, have some very messy benches by the end of it!

bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with jalapeno poppers

Chicken, bacon, cheese and jalapenos. These really do tick a lot of boxes. The jalapenos are stuffed with cheese, cumin, garlic and a hint of lime then wrapped up in a chicken breast that is wrapped with bacon. They can be grilled in the barbecue, baked in the oven or smoked over coals.
