Pork Stir Fry
I’m using the Ninja Foodi for more and more of my meals, which means I am having to rearrange recipes to suit the one pot cooking. It is actually easier than it might seem. This is adapted from a stir-fry recipe by Mindful Chef.
Everyday Recipes
Oil-free Honey Mustard Dressing
I was making a dressing for some salad leaves this lunchtime, and found that – apart from a couple of spray bottles – I was out of oil.
Christmas Cabbage
An easy to prepare side dish for any festive meal. This was one of two dishes I cooked in advance (the other being mashed swede), so I didn’t have too much to do on Christmas Day.
Penne with Mushroom and Spinach
This is the easiest pasta dish I know, and it’s so tasty.
Beef Stew With Suet Dumplings (Slow Cooker)
I used to love dumplings as a child, and as student, they were an easy way to make a meal go further.
They seem to have gone out of fashion, and when you do see them, they are often either made from a packet mix, containing vegetable suet (with palm oil), or no suet at all – which means they are savoury scones (or, in the US, biscuits).
My dumplings contain beef suet, and I make no apologies for that.

Pasta Bake (Slow Cooker)
This slow cooker dish is based loosely on an American-style Baked Ziti, except ziti is not routinely available in the UK. I toyed with using macaroni instead, but decided to use penne.
