Prepare our spicy chicken wraps in advance, freeze and then enjoy a Mexican meal in minutes whenever you like! Whip up this filling with a kick in less than an hour, freeze in individual portions and then re-heat (in a pan or in the microwave) and roll up in warm tortillas. Add a few dollops of sour cream and your dinner is good to go. Or you can, you know, just eat them right now!
Did you know that you can make risotto from barley? This lovely ingredient is much cheaper than Arborio rice and it is one of the lowest GI (Glycaemic Index) grains…
Because pastry. Take advantage of the end of the stone fruit season with this gorgeous plum galette recipe that also just happens to be perfect for the beginning of autumn. And this just wouldn’t be a MyKitchen recipe without a surprisingly delicious flavour combo – we are sure our additions of blue cheese and thyme will blow you away.
Since its arrival on the foodie scene, coconut water has been hailed as nature’s own miracle drink. Its wild popularity has led many to question its supposed nutritional value, dismissing the flavoursome water as just another passing health trend. But don’t be fooled. Coconut water is wonderfully hydrating too. The clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts (not to be confused with coconut milk) contains five essential electrolytes: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium and potassium. You’ve probably heard the claims that this sweet water has anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic and anti-thrombotic effects, but this hasn’t been proven yet.
That satisfying pop when you bite into an ice-cold grape or that gentle sip of red you take after a long working week, there’s something pretty special about these little round fruit that beautifully dots our country’s vineyards. But besides it’s aesthetics and ability to be turned into a beloved alcoholic beverage, we want to explore the wonderful ways in which we can cook with it. So, get your grapes and we’ll meet in the kitchen!
We put a great spin on both the humble potato bake and the chicken dinner by combining the two, as well as adding healthier ingredients and Asian flavours. This sweet potato bake is a perfect mid-week one-pan family meal with hardly any hands-on time and a great way to include protein, carbs and nutrients, making for a balanced plate.
If you are as obsessed with pesto as we are (because who isn’t, right?), then you will be as delighted as we were to find out that foodie royale, Pesto Princess has released a downloadable recipe eBook that can be conveniently stored on your computer, tablet or phone for on the go meal inspiration.
Making pasta at home is one thing every foodie should be able to do, and it’s easier than you could ever imagine. And you don’t even need a pasta machine, just a deft hand with a rolling pin and a sharp knife. We start you off easy with home-made tagliatelle and a deliciously creamy meat-free sauce.
It’s a comfort food mashup! We love pizza (obviously) and we can also make frittata, without encouragement, out of anything we can get our hands on. So here is it, the pizza frittata. And, as a bonus, it’s low-carb and we added red wine.
Caralishious says: ‘One thing that I often miss on this healthy journey of mine is none other than the good old waffle. There is just something about a hearty crisp waffle that really gets my taste-buds worked up…even the thought of a waffle can trigger cravings second to none. And so off to the kitchen I went to work on a healthy waffle recipe (obviously…wink wink). What makes my heart sing even more is that this particular recipe is low carb too. Such a win! In this recipe I do use caramelized bananas as a topping which may increase the carb content, so for those of you who are watching your carbs, you can leave out the banana and just use the nut butter and strawberries as your main toppings. I hope you love this one as much as I do.’
