00Beef CurryFragrant,spicy and tangy this is a warming midweek dinner. A curry is a great way of using up cheaper cuts of meat and bits of vegetables that you find at the bottom of the fridge. You can add almost anything to it and it works well. It's easy to adapt to your families tastes as you just omit what you don't like or add what they do. You can speed up the cooking by using frying steak etc or let it simmer for 2-3hrs for a fuller flavour. The choice is yours. It's also a very forgiving dish as I forgot to toast my spices till after I had fried my meat lol but it still turned out great.This step by step picture guide allows you to follow each step closely but don't be afraid to adapt it if need be.

00Mongolian Beef SteakSweet, tangy and with a little spice this recipe ticks all the boxes. Usually garnished with Spring onion but as I had none I added peppers and onion. Slicing the beef into strips meant I could use 1 rump steak for 2 people so it's very economical too and quick to cook...always a bonus. Im sure this will become a firm favourite in your family as the sweetness counteracts the spice making it not too spicy for the children but feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your families needs,e.g.,less spicy or sweet or even substitute beef steak for mince or chicken as it's an all rounder recipe that works well with most meats.This feeds 2 but its very easy to adjust the amounts to feed 4 or more.The step by step photo guide allows you to follow the recipe easily.

00Halogen baked Stuffed PeppersA speedy dinner full of flavour with lovely chorizo,crispy bacon, rice,veg and all held together with melted gooey cheese. This can be served as a main meal with the extra filling on the side, or as a side dish to accompany your main meal. The rice bulks out the recipe and makes enough to fill 8 peppers, but I prefer to have one pepper, and the rest of the filling on the side. The choice is yours. You can adjust the ingredients also to you and your families tastes using different cheese and rice, including the packs of microwave rice, making it even speedier as you don't have to cook these beforehand.The step by step picture guide is easy to follow so why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below.

00Halogen baked Bbq Chicken ThighsChicken Thighs or legs are cheaper to buy than breasts and can be so much tastier too. They can be overlooked though as people aren't sure how to cook them.. The step by step pictures make this easy to follow and will guide you through the cooking process. I've made a bbq marinade for them but you can just use your own if you want. The beauty of making your own sauce is you can customise it for your own tastes. I find commercial sauces can be very vinegary so I leave it out and add some chilli instead as thats how I like it. This feeds 2 but its very easy to increase the quantities to feed 4 or more. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your thoughts x
