I've really enjoyed my week off work cooking meals that I wouldn't normally cook as part of my meal plan challenge. On the menu last night was chicken quesadillas:If you ask any of my family, they will say that I lovingly prepared the quesadillas with my own hands but I actually bought an Old el Paso Quesadilla kit from Tescos and made it while they were all playing on the wii. The kit came with the corn tortillas, the spice mix and tomato salsa, I just bought the chicken, cheese and sour cream. The instructions on the pack were really simple to follow and they were … [Read more...]

Meal Plan Challenge – Oven Baked Risotto….
I made my own version of oven baked risotto last night and it was gorgeous - a big success! I've never made risotto before and I didn't fancy having to constantly stir the pan so I opted for an oven baked version, much more my style.First of all, I fried some diced chicken breast with some onion and garlic, then added it to a large casserole dish along with 250g Arborio rice and 1 and a half pints of chicken stock. I'm a bit clueless with herbs so I just added some Oregano. You're supposed to add parmasen cheese at some point but I'm not really keen so I … [Read more...]
