One girl and her cooking.

Starting Monday right!!!

I do find that starting the week with good intentions helps you get the mind right 😉

[hannahsfuds]

When I tell you this boy can cook a perfect steak!

Toasted the baguette in the steak pan 🤤

[hannahsfuds]

Chilli con carne!

The easiest thing to cook ever?

Fry onions, garlic and carrots in a tablespoon of oil

Add spices and cook for 5 mins - I used a teaspoon each of:

Corinander power

Cumin power

Paprika

Cayenne

Chilli powder

Add mince beef and brown off - season well

Melt a beef stock cube in 300ml hot water and add

Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a few tablespoons of tomato puree, and cook for 20mins

Finally, add your kidney beans and cook for another 5mins

Serve with rice! And, if you fancy it, cheese and sour cream 😉

[hannahsfuds]

Homemade baked chips and mushy peas!

Served with a nice slice of battered cod 😉

To make the chips:

Cut potatoes into shape

Place them in water and soak for about an hour

Drain the water & rinse chips to get rid of the starch

Put chips in a pot of cold water, and put on the boil

When water comes to boil, remove chips and put them on drying rack

Allow chips to cool (they should still be firm!)

Preheat oven to 220 degrees

Toss blanched chips in olive oil and pop them in the oven

Cook for half an hour until golden brown, turning regularly

Finish with a sprinkling of rosemary salt!

To make the mushy peas:

Slice red onion and saute in butter

Add one clove of minced garlic

Add frozen peas

Add 250ml of stock

Add fresh mint

Being to the boil and simmer until the peas are cooked

Blitz in the blender and finish with lemon, salt and pepper!

The 'back-to-work' sandwich

Bacon, egg and salad on sourdough

And just like that - it's back to work!

This lovely breakfast sarnie was made for me by my darling other half, served with a mug of freshly brewed coffee 🤤

[hannahsfuds]

Delicious and healthy lunch today! 🤤

Panko-breaded Chicken Breast & Brown Rice Salad

For the rice:

Grind cumin seeds, coriander seeds and chipotle chilli

Add to cooked brown rice

Mixed in cooked butternut squash, cannelloni beans and feta cheese

Add loads of fresh coriander! (Could swap for mint too)

For the chicken:

Butterfly the breasts and bang out to thin strips

Marinate in lemon, fresh basil, garlic, and salt & pepper

Dip in beaten egg, then in panko breadcrumbs

Bake for 20 mins at 180 degrees

I also banged together some Sriracha and Greek yoghurt for a tasty dip!

Quick fritatta 🍳

I love love love eggs!

This little beauty was made with:

6 eggs

Tomatoes

Parmesan

[hannahsfuds]

Chicken & Chorizo Kebabs

These banged on the BBQ!

Marinate the chicken breast in:

Dried oregano, cumin and basil

A few tablespoons of chilli sauce

Then I skewered the chicken up with some chorizo, and made a brown rice salad with some BBQ'd corn.

Heaven! And super healthy!

Simple Chicken Wraps

These always hit the spot!

Made extra special with some Greek yoghurt and hummus!

[hannahsfuds]

Aubergine Parmigiana

Only 1300 kcals for the whole thing!

We sliced the aubergine longways and grilled them on the BBQ!

Then layed with our tomato sauce, fresh basil, mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Cooked for 20 minutes on 180 - easy 😀

Tomato sauce:

2 X tins of chopped tomatoes

2 X teaspoons of tomato puree

1 X teaspoon dried basil

1 X teaspoon salt

1 X teaspoon black pepper

Pulled Chicken Burgers

Great for leftovers!!!

We used left over roast chicken: pulled it from the bone and cooked it for 2 mins with a dash of water to wake it up!

Then stuck it under the grill with some delicious cheddar cheese.

Heaven! 🤸

[hannahsfuds]

Breaded chicken breasts with cheddar, bacon, and garlic yoghurt sauce 🤾

Healthy chicken burgers (honestly!)

Chicken Burgers:

Butterfly and flatten out chicken breasts into strips

Marinate chicken in lemon, basil, garlic, salt & pepper

Put a slice of cheese on each chicken and roast for another 5 minutes

Portobello Mushroom Burger & Homemade Slaw 👌

This one's simple - and cheap! :)

Grill your portobello mushroom until almost cooked (a few minutes), then add cheese and breadcrumbs and grill a little bit more!

For the slaw:

Half a White Cabbage

1 X Carrot

1 X Red Onion

Few spoons of Greek yoghurt

(switch out the yoghurt for a vegan alternative if you like!)

Spoon of Mustard

Juice of 2 limes

[hannahsfuds]

Lockdown soda bread!

THE most simple bread recipe.

I have no yeast in the house! And we're avoiding the supermarket at all costs - but I wanted homemade bread.

So - throwing back to our trip to the beautiful Irish countryside, where I first tried freshly baked SODA BREAD. ♥️

300g plain flour (you can use any flour you have!)

3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

3 teaspoons of any vinegar you have

Salt

150ml water

Absolutely lovely when fresh out of the oven and covered in salty butter! Now we just need the Irish sausages and black pud!

[hannahsfuds]

I think I could survive on sandwiches you know 😉

[hannahsfuds]

Smoked salmon really is one of my faves!

Keep it simple and it never disappoints!

[hannahsfuds]

Now this is a salad ...
