This past month I have been getting creative with leftovers in an effort to reduce food waste, cut down on groceries and to have fun in the kitchen creating new dishes. This week I used leftover roast chicken to make this really easy layered cheesy chicken and vegetable pasta bake. This is a great family […]
Kambrook Air Chef Air Fryer Oven Review and Recipes
If you follow me on Instagram you would of seen some of my photos of the Kambrook Air Chef Air Fryer Oven that I have been test driving for the month and a half. When I first took the Air Chef out of the box I was a little unsure how I was going to […]
Bubble and Squeak
You may of noticed a little theme going on at the moment. I am really enjoying making a second meal from my leftover roasted meat.
