It’s hard for something not to be delicious when it’s crumbed and fried! This yummy chicken parmigiana is served with kumara rounds and lots of salad, so you won’t feel too weighed down! If you don’t like the idea of pan frying this, the crumbed chicken could be baked in the oven (spray with a light coating of oil and […]

This easy tuna potato bake comes together a lot quicker than regular potato bakes. No need to cook in the oven for ages! This is a very versatile recipe. Trying using a combination of kumara and potato. If you don’t like tuna, you could use salmon (smoked or canned), chopped ham, diced (cooked) bacon or smoked chicken. Finely chopped steamed […]

Roast pork belly is one of my favourite indulgent meals. This is the quicker, weeknight version, served with a sweet potato mash and easy homemade apple sauce. Yum! I’m not promising tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly with this meal (it is the quick weeknight version after all); however, it still makes for a pretty delicious dinner! The crackling is super delish […]

This is a classic Kiwi dinner, jazzed up just a little bit. Bacon wrapped sausages add extra yum-factor, and the potato and egg salad includes kumara, extra veggies and a lightened up yoghurt-based dressing. Cooking the sausages on a rack set over a roasting dish is a good way to get rid of the excess fat – it can be […]

These roast veggie stacks feature kumara rounds, cauliflower steaks, caramelised onions and haloumi cheese. A delicious vegetarian meal that’s surprisingly filling. These stacks are filling enough without the meat, but you could add some grilled steak if you like. If you’re wondering what to do with the leftover cauliflower florets, you can roast these too and serve with the meal. Alternatively, […]

Tender chicken stuffed with sundried tomato pesto and cheese, layered with kumara and spinach. This chicken and kumara bake is so easy to put together, and you’ll have plenty of time to do other things while it cooks. Cooking the chicken this way makes it really nice and tender. Added bonus: the ingredients list is short yet the meal has […]

Steak on mixed veggie rostis with rich brown gravy is a gourmet weeknight meal that is equally as good for entertaining. Double the amount of sauce if you like. It’s really moreish and not too unhealthy either. Adding a little yoghurt makes it taste nice and creamy without having to deal with the hassle of a leftover bottle of cream! […]

Crunchy crumbed chicken tenders served on a salad packed with tasty ingredients. This is a really yummy dinner that still has decent nutritional value. The best part about this meal is that no mouthful is boring! We like to have it as a lighter alternative to burgers – it always goes down a treat. You could fancy it up with […]

Curried sausages are classic comfort food that’s simple to make, tasty and inexpensive – perfect for feeding the family. Curry powder can vary in spice level so you may want to adjust according to your tastes. I use the full amount and still find it fairly mild. As per usual, I’ve added some extra veggies to make this meal a […]

Almond coated fish has such a yummy texture and flavour. Serve with honey roast veggies, steamed green beans and a generous dollop of lemon aioli. This recipe would work well with salmon fillets too. If you’re not a fan of fish, chicken tenders would be great alternative. Just make sure you cook them for a bit longer (I recommend finishing […]
