Tapas style octopus with smoked paprika
This is a really simple and tasty Galician dish, just made it tonight and was amazed at how easy it is. One of my favourites when we go on holiday!
Italian style Octopus and Potato Stew
A delicious and hearty octopus stew, slow cooks so the octopus is lovely and tender.
Skinny Chocolate cake – Half the fat, but so rich and indulgent…
As I am a total chocaholic… I have adapted a very rich chocolate cake recipe and tested with low fat spread and half fat Elmlea cream to relieve the guilt, and take the pressure off my jeans! It really is lovely, and it still tastes of total indulgence. Perfect for a special occasion – and you can decorate it as you like. :~) This would also work really well as a tray bake for a birthday, or as individual fairy cakes.
Roquefort and potatoe tart
Delicious potatoe and Roquefort tart, easy to make and perfect with a green salad.
Easy Buttercream icing
This is another great icing for any cake, to top with or to fill with. You can colour ir is as you like, or add any flavour you fancy.
Cream cheese frosting / icing
Great for carrot cakes, and any cake for that matter! Delicious – try not to just eat it with a big spoon like me! 🙂
The best Carrot cake
We made this for our comic relief cake off, it disappeared super fast! 🙂 Delicious, moist and light… what more could you ask for?!
Low fat easy peasy homemade biscuits!
A little bit soft in the middle, but crispy on the outside…. Just like a cookie should be! I use low fat spread to make them a bit healthier… Yoû could use whole meal flour, or rice flour to be extra healthy.
Cheats fish pie
This is a quick, and easy option for a tasty fish pie. I have the fish pieces in the freezer so it always a good back up… I sometimes add some prawns too. Fish pie is one of my little ones favourites but there is not always enough time in the day, so this is a great quick easy fish pie recipe.
