Friday Pie Day: Cinnamon-crusted Banana Cream TartsOoh, hello!To experience this joyfulness of cinnamon-crusted pastry, it does mean that you need to make the pastry from scratch (surprise!). But even if you are not so homemade-pastry-inclined, you could instead use shop-bought sweet shortcrust pastry, and then simply sprinkle the cinnamon on the base of each pastry cup before you… |

Lemon Almond Yogurt Cake BarsThis is one of those itsy-looking cakes that packs a powerful punch of flavour. In this case - lemon. Whodathunkit?I always feel like I overuse lemon in a bit - but it's one of my favourite flavours and is such an easy ingredient to use and combine with others to turn something bland into something alot more exciting.These little cake… |

Friday Pie Day: Sweet and Sour Chicken PieDoes this sound a bit odd to you? Well, it probably would have been odder if it was sweet and sour chicken encased in shortcrust pastry – for some reason, that sounds slightly wrong.So to run with the sweet and sour theme, this simply had to have a sweet potato topping. Yes folks, this literally is a sweet and sour dish with sweet… |

Three Ways With Wholegrain RiceSince the #gethealthy Challenge back in January, I've been making a more conscious effort to eat more wholegrains.For a while now, I've wanted to up my weight in a healthy way, so I was using the challenge as a starting point for ways to explore how to do this. Similar to the experiment where I gave up meat for a month, it has helped… |

Friday Pie Day: Single Serving Prawn and Coriander QuicheDon't let the little dishes fool you.When I had some pastry to use up, I figured it was enough to make two mini pies of some sort. I also happened to have some prawns in the fridge, so decided to make a couple of individual quiches. Perfect, I thought, little starter pies to stretch your stomach in prep for a main course.Luckily, I… |

Friday Pie Day: Porky Tikka PieAn individual keep-your-paws-off-it's-my tikka masala in pie form?Ah, go on then!This was intended to be a large sharing pie – in a big-ass pie dish plonked in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves to. But as the recipe took form in my mind, I started thinking about what it'd actually look like. A big bubbling dish… |

Peanut Butter and Banana Cinnamon BunsOk, so these may not be the prettiest buns – I mean, if you're honest, you'll agree that they look a bit crusty.But these buns are softer than they look (the sappy souls) and you'll forgive their questionable appearance as soon as you sink your teeth into them.These are fairly small, because they are yeast-free with only baking powder… |

DIY KFC (kind of)Mm, now THIS has been a long time coming. Do-it-yourself KFC...There's a bit of a disclaimer that needs to come with this though.Now, I often opt out of fast food and find it interesting to experiment with ways to Say No to Takeaway. There are plenty of ways to make healthier versions at home, and not too strenuous either. But DIY KFC… |

Friday Pie Day: Turkey and Tomato Soup PiesIn the same way that a picture is worth a thousand words, there are some words that er, lend themselves to further explanation through pictures.Take 'Turkey and Tomato Soup Pies'.Sounds a little bit odd, right? Are you imagining a pool of tomato soup with turkey bits floating in it? With soggy pastry trying to hold it together… |

Moving-in Muffins (The Banana and Nutmeg Kind)It's all been a bit manic recently. I've taken a Grown-Up Step of buying a house and so the last few months have been quite a whirlwind trying to sort stuff out and trying to be all sensible.Hey, I didn't order a Thomas the Tank Engine removals van on purpose!I assumed this was a clever marketing ploy, but it was a happy accident -… |
