Easy Sticky Honey Chicken

I’ve been on a kick recently of upping my midweek meal game – particularly when it comes to takeaway dupes – and this sticky honey and sesame chicken is a winner (-winner chicken dinner).  Nail the sauce and the rest is history.  You can either batter your own chicken or pop some chicken dippers (or Quorn Nuggets) in the oven, and then serve it up with some egg fried rice, a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some chopped spring onions.  So easy!

Banana and Custard Filled Pancakes

Bananas and Custard is one of those stupidly simple yet completely satisfying desserts, innit?  Easy.  Awesome.  These pancakes are filled with custard, and topped with bananas.  If you’ve never filled pancakes before, it’s really easy and once you’ve tried it, there’s any number of ways you could go. 🙂

Welsh Cake Batter Fudge

I usually bake Welshcakes on St David’s Day, but honestly, the ladies at Bakestones in Cardiff Market knock mine right off the board.  They’re so good!  So this year I decided to make this Welshcake Batter Fudge.  It’s not the prettiest looking fudge around (just like Welshcakes aren’t exactly the prettiest cakes), but tastes just like the real deal thanks to the sultanas and a hint of mixed spice. 🙂

Blood Orange Caramel Upside Down Cake

Firmly on the Blood Orange bandwagon and no sign of jumping off! Last week I made this really easy upside down cake and topped it with blood oranges.  It’s sticky and sweet, and if you choose the juiciest blood oranges then you’ll get the prettiest topping.  The hardest part is making the caramel – but really, as long as you’re not tempted to stir, it’s a doddle. 🙂

Easy Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry

I absolutely love cauliflower in a curry (my mother-in-law makes the best Aloo Gobi) and Chana Masala is always on the menu if we eat out at an Indian restaurant.  So, why not put the two together, eh?  This cauliflower and chickpea curry is a quick and easy meal to whip up, and a damn tasty treat for lunchtimes when you fancy something warm and comforting to eat. 🙂
