Tonight I was in a bind, I wasn’t home at my normal time and it was birthday pork belly dinner for my partner. The trustee air fryer to the  rescue. He like it better then how I normally cook it. I just took it out of the packet, patted it dry and sprinkled a little salt on top then popped it in the air fryer for 45 mins at 200°, set and forget.

I’ve been a bit slack with recipes sorry. I’m increased my work hours and trying to balance home life. Here is a tomato and basil soup recipe. I love this recipe as it’s creamy and rich without adding dairy.

Crumpet French toasted served with strawberry compote. I don’t like crumpets but this was yum.
Serves 4 people.

4 eggs
120 mls of milk
Splash of vanilla
Mix together in a big bowl.

1 packet of 6 crumpets cut into cubes
Add crumpets to egg mixture and let it soak up mixture for around 5 mins remember to stir so all pieces are soaked.

I cooked this in two batches in a large non stick fry pan. Turn pieces over so all sides are browned. I stored first batch in oven while cooking second.

While I was cooking French toast I add some frozen strawberries and a sprinkle of sugar to a saucepan and let it cook until a syrup stared to form.

Tonight’s dinner was home crumbed chicken schnitzels, a few weeks ago I was watching a video where a woman said she makes savoury pancakes with her leftover crumbing ingredients I though I would evolve on that idea and I made potato fritter with the left over ingredients. Just trying to minimise my food wastage.

Hey guys, want to know your struggles with allergy and dietary restrictions?
Let me know what you or other really miss eating and I’ll tell you how I try to replicate in recipes.

Today I made some sunflower butter, it was delicious. This is a great alternative to peanut butter if your child has allergy.

3 ingredients.
Toasted sunflower seeds 170 for 8-10 mins or until golden
Salt to taste
Vanilla essence to taste as well.

Place toasted seeds into food processor, pulse for 8 minutes, don’t over pack the processor as it will worked hard already.
Once seeds have became to form a smooth paste, add salt and vanilla.

Tastes fantastic smeared on apple.
