So we’re all feeling a little sluggish after Christmas, we’ve eaten and drank our body weight throughout the festivities and we need recharging…. Plus there’s probably a load of leftovers!  No, well it doesn’t matter because this recipe is great made from leftovers or fresh.  I’ve wanted to post this on the blog for some […]

This is the new feature I’ll be running on Wheelie Good Meals, it will alternate with Time-Saving Tuesdays. What is Waste Not Want Not Wednesdays Waste Not Want Not Wednesdays comes from my Grandmother she used to say Waste Not Want Not all the time, it was also a saying that Reverend Timms used to […]

Merry Christmas, happy New Year and Happy Easter (oh wait we haven’t got there yet lol). It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back, the beginning of the year has been slightly hectic but now things have calmed down I can start cooking… and eating again! Visit To Old Trafford We were […]

This is a take on last year’s Strictly Supper #4 – Pesto Double (Pesto and Cheese Tart. Click here to read last year’s recipe. It’s Semi Final Time! Yep that’s right tomorrow night is Semi Final night, which means that we’re on the verge of the final… duh! I’m quick lol!  You can make this […]

We saw a fantastic Quickstep in last Saturday’s show from Helen and Aljaž to “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes.   I thought I’d share with you my Quickstep Leftover Fish Cake, I make fishcakes regularly but this is honestly one of the easiest and quickest recipe I’ve made. I’ve used leftover salmon and tinned […]

I’ve gone in a different direction today for my Time-Saving Tuesday’s post. I saw Sorted Food host a Question and Answer session on twitter recently so I asked them what their favourite Time-Saving gadget was in the kitchen and they said the microwave… so in honour of that here is my Homemade Microwave Tomato Risotto. […]

This is a variation on “Graham’s Caramelised Red Onion and Goats Cheese Tart” I posted back in August 2014. This tart was using up ingredients that I needed to use up, and it was a good use of them too. Give this a go, it’s quick and easy and one I know you’ll love – […]

Mother’s Day Meal 2015 Pt 1 Scallops With Curried Cauliflower Purée with Smoked Bacon Yes, yes, at last I know 😆 ! Here is the first in my Mother’s Day Meal menu. I served Pan fried Scallops, Curried Cauliflower Purée and Smoked Bacon. The pictures aren’t as good as I’d normally have but they outline […]

It’s soup time, I haven’t made a soup for a while so I thought I’d share this one with you. It’s as easy as breathing, oh wait… I don’t find that easy… scratch that (for me) it’s easier than breathing lol. I’ve messed about with Butternut Squash several times before, I’ve had it and not […]

This is a three for the price of one recipe because it’s a fantastic Heirloom Tomato salad, my take on a wonderful Salsa Verde and a Balsamic and Honey dressing which went well with the whole dish. Essentially this dish is simply a tomato salad, but with a difference! Greg and I called in to […]

Hayleigh's Cod in a Harissa and Coconut Sauce Back again, this week we’ve got another mystery bag of ingredients.  The last few weeks have been a nightmare, I’ve not been able to post this sooner because my mother has been in hospital.  She recently broke her hip, after falling down in our living room.  She [...]

Spicy or Not, Spanish Chicken with Lime Rice Hello again folks, how are we all doing?  My knee is on the mend, I should hopefully be back working in work this week 🤞🏼.  I’ve been stuck at home for too long now it’s starting to get on my nerves… on the plus side I’ve been [...]

Lindsey and Hayleigh's Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon Well, on the weekend that’s seen me turn 42 (or 21 again as Gemma put it… I knew I loved her for a reason!) and my mother turned 80 you’d think I wouldn’t be posting… but here is another fab slow cooker recipe. This was given to me [...]

Alun’s Microwave Salmon in a Spicy Tomato Sauce served with McCain’s Triple Cooked Gastro Chips Hello, today’s recipe is a good one, even if I do say so myself.  It’s dedicated to a good friend of mine Alun Williams, Alun was a big help and support to me both during my time in the Labour […]

Hello, how are we?  I hope the weather isn’t getting you down too much.  It’s been a nightmare here in (not so) sunny South Wales.  We’ve almost had four seasons in one day at one point this week. I’ve had a nightmare two months, I know I seem to always moan to you all but [...]

This is a bit of an “on the fly” recipe and uses leftover Turkey to make a rich pasta dish. This was actually cooked with leftover Turkey at Christmas time, it’s just taken me until now to have the hwyl to write it out.

I know it’s been a loooong time since I last posted anything on here; I could bleat on about my lack of inspiration, my fight with work/blogging balance or my absolute laziness but I won’t! This weekend, I cooked my mother and I (as a belated birthday meal) of Pheasant in a Mushroom and White […]

Heeeelllooo!  Welcome back, happy New Year to you all, I hope you all had a good one, this is my first recipe back for a long while.  As you know I am a massive fan of the Indian curry Keema Masala, you’ll probably remember my review of Asda’s Keema Masala in a tin from July […]

Ok, here’s my first recipe for a long time – so I enlisted the help of fellow Wheelie Good Mealer Alice to help me make this recipe.  I know I say about speaking to people on twitter and people often think I’m exaggerating or “the boy who cries wolf”.  I have some good cyber friends […]

So on my low carb diet I’ve started eating lots more fish, you know I have always eaten fish but I’m finding it easier cooking creatively with fish than I am with meat… why, who knows 😆 You’ll notice the ingredients are basic, I’ve got tinned tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers, ginger and tomato purée to […]

Second instalment of my Six Nations of Food, it’s my take on the fantastically talented Jason Atherton’s Mediterranean Chicken which follows on from my Toad in the Hole with Onion Gravy and Champ. I couldn’t resist posting this one, Jason’s a chef I really admire and this is a cost effective easy to cook recipe.  […]

Ok so yet another hairbrained idea, I thought I’d honour the six nations by making “The Six Nations of Food”. My first two nations are Ireland and England, I’ve made Toad In The Hole and Champ. Toad In The Hole An old school classic, Toad in the hole is a traditional British dish made up […]

Here’s my latest instalment in my Strictly Suppers series.  It was Ginge who suggested this one to me; it’s my take on a Slimming World recipe. Theirs is Fanta Chicken, where as mine, obviously is Tango Chicken 😀 with my mother’s homemade chips. It’s Final Time! It’s final time baby! I can’t believe it already, […]

Strictly Suppers #5 Cha-Cha-Char Grilled Tuna in a Soy, Honey, Chilli and Lime Sauce with Asda Mashed Potatoes Good morning all, how is everyone?  It’s almost December the 1st so I’ve now started singing Christmas songs and thinking about what I’m going to be cooking over Christmas, especially Boxing night.  One thing is for sure, […]

It’s Strictly time guys and dolls! Racking my brains on how to start this I thought of SALASA!!! I know I did it for Strictly Suppers #3 last year but the recipe is different and it’s a different use for the Salsa…. so read on!!!  This is Salmon topped with Salsa Verde steamed with white […]

Well this recipe is a great one for the forthcoming cold nights, it’s Sausage Meatballs in a Spicy Tomato Sauce with Boiled Rice. I love meatballs and usually make mine from scratch, you’ll know this if you’e read my take on Dean Edwards Thai Pork Meatball Curry or my take on another of Digger Dean’s […]

It’s follows on from the Starter of Scallops with Curried Cauliflower Purée with Smoked Bacon Crisps, this is Duck with […]

Well as it was our first anniversary last week I thought I’d write this post up dedicated to my darling sister Heather. I’ve always cooked loads, for as long as I can remember but it’s by eye…. a little pinch of this and a glug of that but that had to change when the blog […]

Drum roll please, here is my long awaited Speedy Sweet and Sour Chicken! I know I’ve been promising it for a few weeks but it’s worth the wait. I’ve adapted a recipe by Jo Pratt, Jo’s recipe can be found on the BBC Food Website.  Don’t bother phoning your local takeaway with this recipe you’ll […]

This is my first ever, yes first ever pie! Ok slightly not true but it’s my first pastry based pie. I am ashamed to say that I’ve never made a pie out of pastry. As its #GreatBritishPieWeek I thought it would be only fitting to cook a pie in celebration, not only that but it’s […]

Hapus Dydd Gŵyl Dewi or Happy St David’s Day as they say over the boarder! I’ve also got to give a big shout out to the Famous Graham, my long suffering brother-in-law and inspiration behind Graham’s Caramelised Red Onion and Goats Cheese Tart! I have no doubt Graham will have another wheelie good feature before […]

Now we’re hitting the heights of pure comfort, in comfort terms this is this is a big king sized bed with a soft fluffy duvet, hot water bottle and a mug of cocoa (sorry was that a bit too 😆 ! Now there are two debates going on with this one…. debate number one Shepherd’s […]

Happy New Year folks, how was your festive break, hope it went well. Here’s my first recipe of 2015 (are you still writing 2014 on stuff because I know I am). Here’s the first recipe of the year and it’s a belter, it’s really comforting, it’s a cwtch in an oven proof dish (for those […]

This is a weak one for the Strictly Suppers theme as the salsa was the accompaniment but it’s all I’ve got this week. I’ve always wanted to try sesame crusted tuna but never got round to it, so I could think of no better an opportunity than to try it out for my blog. I […]

This is a long awaited for me, Saira who has given me this recipe was a runner up on 2013 Masterchef. When I first thought about writing and creating Wheelie Good Meals I tweeted it to some celebrity chef’s all were very supportive but Saira was one of the few that gave me real support […]

My mother wasn’t a fan of aubergines but had the hair brained idea of buying one to see if her opinions would change. This recipe was a quick and easy one (well I say quick, apart from the sweet potato crisps). I got my inspiration from Tony Tobin’s Sticky Aubergine with Soy Dressing (which you […]

While browsing the internet I stumbled across a fantastic blog called Amuse Your Bouche, a blog that is packed with useful information and fantastic recipes. To visit Amuse Your Bouche click here. This is a great recipe for vegetarian’s and one my mother certainly enjoyed. Amuse Your Bouche is a website set up by Becca […]

My sister bought me some Nando’s Piri Piri BBQ Sauce recently and I had some Patatas Bravas Sauce I’d bought from Tesco which needed to be used, so Alice (my niece and fellow foodie) and I thought we’d combine the two to make “Alice’s Piri Piri BBQ Chicken and Patatas Bravas”. As you probably noticed […]

I came up with the idea of this pie because I was thinking one day we’ve got Shepherd’s Pie for lamb and cottage pie for beef but nothing for pork…. so here it is. You can add or remove most of the ingredients (apart from the Pork Mince naturally)! If this dish had a theme […]

I’m a big fan of fish… as you’d probably noticed, I came up with this recipe because I had some left over Trout fillets, this is a great dish, really enjoyable and it gave me the opportunity to use a lot of left over vegetables. Remember to check for bones when you are using fish, […]

Along with my minced beef based dishes (probably my cottage/shepherd’s pie) this is my signature dish. I love Chicken Tikka Masala, it’s one of my most ordered take away dish. It’s not too hot but still has a little warmth that makes you feel good. There are many different stories behind the origin of this […]

As I’ve said in earlier posts my sister (Heather) is often the source for my inspiration when it comes to creating dishes. For Christmas Heather and her family bought me a packet of Ainsley Harriott’s Creamy Spelt. Now I didn’t know a lot about Spelt so I “googled it” (my sister loves to google so […]

This recipe what I would call one of my mothership recipes, once you’ve mastered this (and trust me it won’t take long) you can make a number of different dishes. This recipe will be suitable for: · Lasagne, · Chilli Con Carne · Canelloni · Bolognese The recipe I use is as easy as it […]

When I first started thinking about the Wheelie Good Meals concept I started uploading photographs of dishes I had cooked to twitter and instagram and tagged anyone in I could to get some inspiration, these people included Tesco, Asda and Schwartz. I struck gold with Schwartz because they liked the photos and were interested in […]

This is a quick and simple one, I know it’s not strictly a supper as such but it’s flipping lovely. This is based on a Hairy Bikers Recipe for Viennese Whirls, Saturday’s episode saw a Viennese Waltz which Craig described as having “no grace and elegance” and said it was common but he loved it. […]

In honour of Daniel O’Donnell’s exit last week I thought I’d dedicate this Strictly Suppers recipe to his last dance an American Smooth. This post comes in two parts, Uncle Sam’s Chocolate Brownies and a Peanut Butter and Jam smoothie…. how very American. So let’s get on with the Brownie. You can add chocolate chips […]
