I adore 'cheap and filling meals' like this one. I'm often asked "how are you planning on feeding 4 teenage boys on a budget" - and the answer generally involves something along … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Coconut Lime Chicken
I adore a good curry meal - and my family does too. But I worked this one up as sort of a "spice-less" option.

Perfect for anyone who just isn't all that into curry. This meal has a delightful combination of … [Read more...]

Burrito Pie
Absolutely, positively adore this meal. It's a plates-licked-clean and baking-dish-polished-out kind of meal at our house. You could freeze this after you have assembled it, but we recommend just freezing the filling and then assembling it the day you cook it.
