Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup i don’t know if anyone has noticed but I completely lost my mojo for cooking. I still can’t get my head round why this has happened - cooking is something I have enjoyed almost all my adult life. I’ve recently found myself getting really fussy with my food - nothing has… Continue reading Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup
Vegetable Curry
Vegetable Curry i am conscious I haven’t published any recipes for a little while - I’ve been busy losing weight and keeping myself busy The last lockdown ravaged my health and I was determined to turn my health around so I wasn’t at such high risk of the effects of coronavirus. I knuckled down, and… Continue reading Vegetable Curry
Layered Bacon, Red Onion and Butternut Squash Crustless Quiche
It’s been a while since I added a recipe. All through lockdown I was baking, eating - or should I say overeating (embarrassing confession) and generally eating the wrong thing. For those that follow me on Instagram - https://Instagram.com/itsdebslifex you will know that it is now a completely different story. I have lost 23lbs and… Continue reading Layered Bacon, Red Onion and Butternut Squash Crustless Quiche
Kitchen Luxuries in Lockdown and Paella
I never thought that anything like the COVID-19 Pandemic would happen in my lifetime. I never imagined that life would be turned on it’s head and not really resemble life as we know it. It’s 6 months since I saw my mum who flew back from Spain in March - literally the airplane she flew… Continue reading Kitchen Luxuries in Lockdown and Paella
Quick Beef Risotto
Does anyone remember Vesta Beef Risotto? I used to absolutely love it! Unfortunately it’s no longer produced much to the disdain of many. It probably wasn’t the best nutritious meal but for those who wanted something quick, then it was just the ticket. Whilst on lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic I have been back… Continue reading Quick Beef Risotto

This time of the year is either a doddle for some or a nightmare for others. Turning round the indulgent eating habits we developed over the Festive Period into a healthy eating regime can be difficult to achieve. Letting go of all that highly flavoured, fat and sugar laden food and going cold turkey (pardon… Continue reading Sweet Potato, Red Onion and Spinach Tray Bake
The Magic of Chickpeas
I’ve been using a lot of chickpeas recently. They are so cheap, filling and nutritious. Following an indulgent Christmas I decided it was time to get back on track, knuckle down and get some of last years timber off. Last year was strongly influenced by the anti diet, hunger directed eating posts all over Instagram.… Continue reading The Magic of Chickpeas
Sweet Potato and Red Onion Pakora
This is the first recipe for a while. I sort of lost my cooking mojo, but I can feel it creeping back in slowly. I created this recipe because I wanted something to go with my curry that wasn't bread related. Lots of healthy Pakora recipes are quite eggy and I wanted to reduce this… Continue reading Sweet Potato and Red Onion Pakora
Hearty Haggis Soup
Now this will surprise some - a WW friendly recipe. I have worked this out using the Green Plan and it comes out at 8 Smartpoints per serving. Haggis is quite high in syns on SW and I think it will work out apx 7 syns a serving, but it is an amazing hearty soup… Continue reading Hearty Haggis Soup
Crustless Corned Beef Pie
I am a little bit excited about this recipe. To be honest it was inspired by something completely unexpected - my Spanish Omelette recipe. Now I know it's nothing like a Spanish Omelette, but the cooking method is just the same. I really didn't intend doing a recipe for this but I was so pleased… Continue reading Crustless Corned Beef Pie
