Jumbo Fluffy Walnut Apple Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2008

Wow! These are delicious! I followed the recipe measurements exactly and the only small change was to dice the apple into smallish chunks instead of slicing. I used a regular muffin tray instead of jumbo and I'm taking some of these in to work tomorrow to share as they are so delicious. Fantastic recipe. Thanks

Garlic Pasta with Prawns

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2008

I love this recipeIt's great as it is but can easily adapted too. My kids don't like prawns much so I make this and put half in a tub in the fridge. Next day it's delicious as a cold pasta salad for lunch. Also, a quick chamge I sometimes make to this is after draining the pasta and returning to the pan, stir in a coule of handfuls of fresh rocket or watercress. Stir in and return the lid to the pan then continue with the recipe instuctions. It adds a bit of colour and is delicious. Thanks for this easy recipe!

Buttery Lemon Spinach

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2008

To be honest I've previously avoided spinach as a side dish as I find it bland and uninspiring but this recipe changed all that. Loved the zingy flavour and the fact that the garlic is tasty rather than overpowering. My kids tried it but weren't keen but I loved it. I served it as a last minute side dish to go with a chicken and bacon lattice pie and some buttered baby Jersey Royal potatoes. The spinach kept the whole meal light and suprisingly was delicious with the pie crust. Thanks

Sweet Potato-Turkey Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2008

I thought I'd try this recipe out for my family as meatloaf isn't ao popular in the UK. I made 1 minor change and that was to use Wholegrain mustard instead of Dijon as that was all I had. The meatloaf went down well. My 2 oldest kids adored it and the adults all thought it was delicious. My youngest son wasn't too impressed but he doesn't like sweet potatoes so that wasn't a suprise. The cold leftovers went in seconds as a fantastic sandwich filler. I found that the leftovers stayed together better as it was very moist when first cooked. Good recipe!

Slow Cooker Pork Chops II

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2008

I made this for dinner today with lemon and coriander couscous and orange glazed carrots, for myself and 3 kids and it had mixed reviews. My 12 year old son and I thought it was delicious but my 6 and 7 year olds ate some but weren't sure if they'd want it again. The fact they ate any of it is still good though, as they don't like pork! The only change I made to the recipe was to omit the oregano as I didn't have any. I thought the pork turned out wonderfully soft and juicy with loads of flavour. I'll definitely make this again, but just for me and my son next time! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm always on the look out for new slow-cooker ideas.

Orange-Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2008

Just finished eating these as a side dish with dinner and I'm very impressed. So easy to make and it really does make a difference to having plain old boring carrots! The only small difference I made was to use freshly squeezed clementine juice, and made the glaze on the stove top, but the rest was followed exactly. My family ate this with lemon and coriander couscous and slow-cooked pork chops! A definite keeper, and one I'll make use of a lot from now on! Thanks for sharing this easy but delicious recipe!
