Scrambled Eggs

Breakfast the most important meal of the day they say? Yet half the time we end up saying **** **** **** I'm late!!! Maybe that's just me though? (and the screaming at the kids to hurry up). A breakfast roll is so handy on your way to work right? WRONG they don't...

Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake

Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake

So tonight's dinner is a joint effort between Val and myself. It's also a follow on from Sunday's roast chicken lunch which left us with a lot of chicken. Buying a nicer chicken is really worth it and getting a slightly larger one means you can end up making another...

Jimmy’s Chilli Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup

Jimmy’s Chilli Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup

OK OK ... the title is one big lie. I'm not using ramen noodles and it's not chicken. One of the things I miss about living in Dublin ( I lived there a year ) is Wagamamas. If you don't know the chain you're missing out ... it's Asian food done well. (side note: It...

Jimmy’s Sunday Roast Chicken

Growing up we could nearly always be sure that we'd sit down and have a proper Sunday lunch / dinner together as a family. Since Charlotte was born we've tried to do the same. There's something about the smell of a roast throughout the house that's amazing. I used go...

Tonight is a bit of a cheat night (you knew I'd slip right?) ... I have some really fond memories of Fish and Chips with my dad as a kid. Now that I've got kids of my own I like to think I'll have some nice memories of fish and chips with them as well though it's not...

Broccoli and Salmon Pasta

Broccoli and Salmon Pasta

So the biggest problem with this recipe is figuring out what to call it. Sometimes you find yourself just going ... I want something quick and easy that the kids will eat with no hassle. For us this is one of those meals. It needs just 4 ingredients and it's super...

Spinach and Potato Curry

Spinach and Potato Curry

This is a rather quick to prepare vegetarian curry that's extremely tasty, it's still going to take you around 40 minutes to make. Ingredients wise you're going to want: 1 Garlic clove (large ... or two small) Coriander Seeds (1 teaspoon) Tumeric ( 1/2 - 1 teaspoon)...

Jimmy’s Savoury Mince

Jimmy’s Savoury Mince

I'm not going to lie here ... the final result isn't much to look at, it is however incredibly tasty and a crowd pleaser to boot. Not exactly something you'd do for a dinner party but for a night like tonight when it's wet and miserable it definitely hits the spot....

A quick stir fry

A quick stir fry

I'm a bit of an internet cliche. I post pictures of the cats / babies / food on FB and Twitter constantly (and yet people still follow me). However people have been asking me for the recipes to the meals I cook so what the hell I might as well put them somewhere. This...
