Sweet Potato Hash

Quick and tasty one pan sweet potato hash with bacon that will surely hit the spot!

Hello and happy Wednesday! 

I was admittedly feeling very lazy yesterday. Too many hours stalking my favourite blogs and looking for running shoes online. When it came round to dinner time I raided the pantry and fridge and managed to knock together this sweet potato hash. Yes, it is all in one pan! Saves on washing up multiple pots and pans. Yahoo to that!

If even I can manage this on a super “off” day, I am sure anyone can manage to do this or more than likely, better it!

The sweet potatoes are rinsed and pierced with a fork before being microwaved for 3 minutes. Then I added mushrooms, yellow bell pepper, onion and bacon. Very delicious and I bet you already have most of these ingredients.

For a protein boost you can crack in an egg for each person. Eat it all with some Sriracha sauce, really hits the spot and goes down a treat.

Roast Chicken with Lemon and Herbs

This is one super easy and quick chicken dish. The herbs make this smell heavenly and taste even better. It is perfect for an easy weeknight meal yet sophisticated enough to serve when you have company.

A big hello to you!

Today, let’s talk about chicken. I have found this incredible chicken recipe for you. It is so delicious that you will be surprised how incredibly easy it is to make.

I do apologise for the aluminium foil in the photos. I prepared this dish for dinner before I went to the gym. I didn’t want to remove the foil so that I could easily re-heat everything in the oven after my gym session. I really am not bothered to cook anything after an evening gym session so to ensure that I eat healthily enough, I usually prepare something beforehand. Well planned right? Maybe for me, you, on the other hand, have to endure the slightly gritty photos. Please forgive me!

The story behind this recipe is that I was having my lunch while watching Barefoot Contessa. I love Ina, don’t you? I think it’s hard to find anyone that doesn’t love Ina. Anyway, I saw her making this dish of chicken breasts and it looked so simple I knew I had to try it.

After some digging on the internet I discovered that it is the 10^th most saved recipe on Food Network! Ah hah, so even more reason to try it. Hardly needs a myriad of ingredients as well. Instead of just using chicken breasts, I basically chopped up the chicken into pieces and roasted it.

The result was beyond satisfying. The chicken was so moist and tender as it was roasting in the sauce and in its own juices. The skin on the other hand was all crisp and heavenly just the way it should be. I think everyone needs to have this recipe in their repertoire.

Quick Bolognese Pasta

Quick Bolognese pasta that does not compromise on flavour, utterly satisfying!

Hello!

How has your week been? If you are looking for mid-week dinner inspiration, my quick Bolognese recipe may be just the thing for you.

Like most people, I love Bolognese. I can eat it during warm or cold weather. It’s one of those meals that you constantly crave for. However, sometimes I want Bolognese but I don’t want to stand peeling carrots and simmering the sauce for 2 hours. I want it done in less than 30 minutes. If you can identify with me then let me share my go-to quick Bolognese sauce recipe with you.

It’s amazingly simple and most importantly does not skimp on flavour. The result is a stomach warming, utterly satisfying pasta dish.

I use lean beef mince here, but in the past, I have also used lean turkey mince in this recipe and it works a treat too. You have to season the meat, I find that makes a huge difference so don’t skip that step. You can make some extra sauce if you like, so handy for when you need it to feed a family fast. This sauce also goes well ladled on top of a piping hot and fluffy jacket potato.
