If you need any help, just ask . I've got lots of recipes and ideas. Did you try the tandoori chicken yet ? The mango chicken is nice too. My favourite is my fish pie or my butternut chicken curry. You should try my moussaka I'm sure you'd like it.

Ah thanks Laura, glad you like them but make sure you come back and let us know how u got on.
I've been cooking up a storm today. My partners away from home for a while And I'm missing him like crazy so I cook to stop me crying too much.
I've made muffins, liver and bacon, baked bean lasagne and orange and rhubarb crumble today. Had to sit down after that lot as my back was killing me.
Watched a great chick flick tonight which of course made me cry so much that i had to go and find the teenage kids playing ps3 to get cuddles. Anyway so I've lost a stone and a half now and feeling great. Just wish I had my man here to show my body off to. Lol .
So I'll post the recipes on here for today's bakes soon. Roast chicken dinner tomoro then tuesday it's BBQ with my friends family here ( in the rain no doubt)
Hope everyone's ok xx

SALT AND PEPPER CHICKEN

4 Chicken breasts chopped into strips.
2 onions, sliced
4-5 cloves of finely chopped/minced garlic
a bunch of spring onions topped, tails, and chopped into small bits.
3-4 green or red chillis ( I used a tsp red lazy chilli)
a green pepper (I didnt have a green one so I used a red



one instead) chopped into small chunks.
sea salt
black pepper

Liberally frylight a wok or large frying pan and heat up.
Add onions and green pepper to pan, and fry over a medium heat so they soften up nicely.
Add garlic, spring onions, chillis to pan and fry for a further minute or so.
Add chicken strips.
Throw several large pinches of sea salt and pepper over the chicken.
Fry the whole bally lot together, stirring repeatedly until the chicken is cooked through.

SMASH CHICKEN KIEV
----------------------------

So I used 3 breasts plus a Diddy bit that was in the pack for my youngest who eats like a sparrow .
I emptied a pack of instant mash into a bowl, added 2 tsp of salt, a generous twisting of black pepper, 2 -3 tsp Cajun mix, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic granules. Mix together then I tasted a finger tip worth to see if it had taste and it seemed fine. I slit breasts open added a mix of garlic herb Philly and extra chopped garlic. Dipped into beaten egg and dipped into mash mix then egg again and mash again . Place onto frylighted tray and bake 20-25 mins til browned and cooked . Tasted lovely but I would add extra spices next time to make the taste stronger.
