Jody’s Kitchen

2 Jamie Oliver recipes tonight
5 Ingredient - Super green spaghetti (with penne) … 2 stars sorry ⭐️⭐️ Not much flavour

And his old Najed Chef - Meatballs … 3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 😊

Another Jamie Oliver recipe (I’m determined to use these books I “just had to have” 😂 … Gnarly Peanut Chicken … Although my chicken didn’t look gnarly I really enjoyed it … only used 1/3 of a chilli but would go the whole chilli next time …
Adult #1(me): 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Adult #2: 2 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ (not a zesty dish lover but could back off the limes (they were big juicy limes too) whoops

And then there was the 5 ingredients 🤔missing the red wine vinegar - make that 6 ingredients 😂) Naughty Jamie
Didn’t matter bc we enjoyed this .. didn’t quite get the sticky sauce but still yum
4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the main dinners I was having for 2 weeks during caloric deficit .. It was pretty good actually … mine were measured & baked in the glass containers with the bulk for hubby in the pan … can use either tomato or basil pesto to change it up … sundried tomato was lower calories noting some small changes I made to suit what we already had at home & less rice

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quick & easy light dessert .. I’m impressed although probably could have set a bit longer

Wow it’s been a while between posts … between work, family, gym & recently a huge spring clean, meals have been simple & quick … this week I’ve ventured to my Jamie Oliver recipes (non-thermomix) & this Spinach & Feta Pie was pretty easy & a great snack or main meal ..

I oniy used 15g of dill & glad I didn’t use the 40g as per the recipe as it would have been a bit too dill’y for me 😁
Great quick bread dough too 👌🏻 Could even add garlic & twist it into bread sticks

Would I make it again? Yes but might experiment with other herbs
3 stars⭐️⭐️

Sweet Potato & Zucchini Frittata
Only threw this one together to use up some sweet potatoe & Im impressed
Used Greek feta instead of buffalo mozzarella
Could add some precooked chicken for added bulk
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Basic banana bread
Overcooked this one but normally it comes out moist & yummy for the hubby
Once again, made this to use up some buttermilk from the butter
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (if I don’t overlook it)

Butter 😀 Another money saver (I think? … haven’t done the maths)
So easy after previous failures where I didn’t churn it long enough 🤦‍♀️)
Will be making/freezing my own from now on plus looking at some varieties in future like garlic/herb butter or spreadable
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
600ml made 275g butter & plenty of buttermilk for muffins etc

Creamy blue cheese with shell pasta
Only chose this to use up some blue cheese left over from a cheese/crackers platter …
Made this with penne instead of shell pasta .. I like blue cheese sauces or blue cheese on crackers … can’t say I enjoyed this though … but too rich & can’t eat much … don’t think I’ll be making this one again
⭐️⭐️

Pasta w/tuna
Good simple throw together meal if the pantry is low (no pic sorry)
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stuffed capsicum w/herbed quinoa
Missing flavour for me but hubby says it was ok
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quince Paste /
First time shopping for & cooking with quince🤣 Had no idea what I was searching for but I do know it’s expensive to buy the paste
Super easy & heaps to freeze for those random cheese & cracker platters
Photo shows 3 slices per container 😀
Not sure what else the paste is used for?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Made the Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie tonight
I was hesitant to make this with GF flour but it turned out amazing with an extra 4 biscuits for hubbies morning tea …
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from us
I think the biscuit would be better with some grated cheese and/or mixed herbs rolled into it
I personally wouldn’t use more than the 3 sprigs of tarragon

Yeah Naaah Not for me … Too much effort due the end result IMO .. couldn’t get the 10 sheets of pasta from the dough using a rolling pin but that didn’t matter … Hubby said it was good Me? I’m not making this mine again sorry 3 stars for hubby ⭐️⭐️⭐️ but would be 2 if just my opinion

Chicken drumsticks instead if wings … didn’t really thicken up as per the recipe image but was nice & the extra sauce was good for the veggies 3 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️ even though the average rating is 4.5

Loving Left-overs night .. when we make the most of what’s .. well … left over 😀 … turned garlic & coriander butter & naan dough into a garlic & cheese pizza, left over shakshuka for me & left over cheeseburger quiche for the man … then these Camille carrot & almond cakes using left over carrots … still plenty of bits & pieces for pizza toppers so think we’ll be having pizza on left over sour dough wraps for a fake-away tomorrow … no waste & save money too

How to control your morning hunger until lunch time? Protein of course .. plus the goodness & colours of a variety of veg

This was a winner 4 stars from both adults ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Used spiral GF pasta instead of macaroni

And the good old reliable Shakshuka … I baked mine in the oven instead of stovetop only because I already had it going for the cheeseburger quiche 4 Stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For the red meat eaters … Not sure what their reviews are yet but super easy & smells great Feels good to get the quiche pan out again

Home made yoghurt (using the automated yoghurt recipe) & fruit … go to brekky bowl

Pre Workout / Post workout or just a tasty energy booster .. 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretty sure I’ve made this one before way back .. Great family dish .. maybe my taste buds crave more spice & need more punch but this is still a winner … 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ mainly because the teen complimented it 😀

Vegetarian Night 👍🏻 Could do with an extra punch if flavour but yummy … Great dude fish or for lunch box too … Couid add meat if desired too … 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Although I didn’t eat the meatballs myself, the others said this actually tastes like cheeseburgers … The potatoes were A1 too … 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Breakfast Sausages for the non-read meat eater while the others had a beef meal … These were ok 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

With some pre-made dough, this was surprisingly yummy for last weeks Faje-Away … Mr GF made his own on sourdough flat bread .. 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ignore tte dodgy overcooked egg 🤣 A good Round the World 🌎 meal
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice & easy this one
Replaced egg noodles with rice noodles for the GF … flavours ok but not like a party in your mouth kinda way … 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
