Spiced Red Lentil Mini Burgers

Spiced Red Lentil Mini Burgers

by | November 11, 2020 |

A burger-less burger. That’s my idea of heaven. I’m a vegetarian and I don’t eat bread so I am just used to avoiding burgers altogether. These little micro burgers are so useful for bite sized sustenance you can grab and eat when you are busy. They can be made ahead of time and store well in the fridge. Likewise you can freeze the ‘dough’ to make them quickly at will, handy for spontaneous camping trips or BBQs. The addition of quinoa makes them hearty and filling, and their size makes them versatile for snack boards or picnics or sliders.

They make a great lunch spread with Handmade Hummus, Summer Tomato Salad and Golden Flatbreads.

Quick creamy salmon pasta

Quick creamy salmon pasta

by | November 11, 2020 |

This is a really simple dish to add more or less of the main ingredients, such as the pasta and smoked salmon, you can also fry different mushrooms with a little garlic paste to make it a veggie dish. I use different veg depending what I have, such as green beans, peas and sweetcorn

Best Ever Chicken and Cheese Empanadas

Best Ever Chicken and Cheese Empanadas

by | November 11, 2020 | ,

We’ve had who knows how many empanadas in the past year. And while most are good, there’s those few that go beyond good to “Oh wow, this is incredible! I’ll have 4 at once…”

And these are just like that! Sooo much flavor in these little guys that you won’t be able to stop at eating just a couple

Gouda, Mushroom, & Truffle Salt Mac & Cheese

Gouda, Mushroom, & Truffle Salt Mac & Cheese

by | November 11, 2020 |

In this one pot dinner, Gouda and mushrooms come together with pasta in a creamy bechamel sauce all sprinkled with delectable truffle salt to make an irresistible bowl of the most heavenly, elevated, yet easily attainable Mac and Cheese you’ve ever had!

It sounds complicated, fancy, and time consuming, but I swear it’s not! Only a handful of ingredients most of which you probably already have and only one stovetop pot and you’ll be in heaven in no time.

Before I have baked the final pasta with a breadcrumb topping which I also highly recommend. However, stopping at the stovetop stage does keep the pasta at an incredibly delicious creamy stage that I honestly probably now prefer.

Turkey, Rice & Veggie Skillet Meal

Turkey, Rice & Veggie Skillet Meal

by | November 11, 2020 |

We make this meal several times a week! Ground Turkey, pre-steamed rice, and any kind of veggies you want make this meal super versatile and easy to cook. As another one-pot meal, it’s incredibly simple to make, and relatively inexpensive. We like it because it’s really nutritious and also very filling. When we’re extra hungry, we just add more vegetables or meat.

The curry flavour in this recipe gives a different take on a risotto, but it’s still just as delicious.

Ok so here is one of my favourite recipes for living in a camper as it’s so quick easy and versatile! The great thing we love about frittata is we can make them anywhere with our gas stove and grill… You can add anything you want and it’s a great way of using stuff up.

Typical Slovak dish

Typical Slovak dish

by | November 11, 2020 |

The recipe is for typical Slovak dish Spinach with potatoes and eggs. This is a vegeterian version, but by adding sausage fried on the pan you can make it more meat-eaters friendly. Equipment needed – saucepan, pot, frying pan and hand mixer to mix the spinach.

This special extra starchy rice makes a delicious creamy meal that pairs perfectly with mushrooms. If you don’t like chicken then beets, shrimp or pumpkin squash can also be good options.

One-pot Jollof Rice

One-pot Jollof Rice

Though this is by no means a Chilean recipe, it was the rice dish we made the most in Chile by far, as it uses ingredients which are easy to find all over the country, and only requires one pan.
It’s also delicious cold, so we always make double portions, to avoid having to worry about lunch the next day.

Mushroom Stroganoff

Mushroom Stroganoff

I use to make this one all the time back home, when I fancied something creamy and comforting. Here however, fresh mushrooms aren’t so easy to find, plus they aren’t cheap either.
​
If you’re in the south at the right time of year, you may be able to get your hands on some cheap wild mushrooms in the markets. The ones you want are the impressive Loyo mushrooms, from the porcini family.
​
For the most part, we ended up using tinned mushrooms. I won’t try and claim that these are the real thing, however they do have the advantage of being cheap, easy to find, and of course, lasting forever.
By all means, use fresh if you can, but if not don’t be afraid to give these a go, you may be surprised.

All the other ingredients for this recipe are also long life, so you can think about this one in the supermarket, and then forget about it till a rainy day.​

Guacamole loaded Sweet Potatoes

Guacamole loaded Sweet Potatoes

by | November 11, 2020 |

I never would have thought of combining sweet potatoes and guacamole until I saw the idea on Pinterest! The flavors pair together really well, and we love this meal! It’s quick and easy to make on a week night after work. And it’s quite filling, especially with a salad. But, I will sometimes serve it with a side of quinoa, as well.
