Nutty Red Chicken Stir Fry
This is a really quick and simple recipe to make with a great end result, it makes for a fab mid week meal with no fuss. This is one of those recipes you can have on the table in around 30 Minutes and the good thing is it is quite budget friendly as well. We served ours over pasta but you can served over Asian egg noodles or rice or whatever your preference is.

No Bake Cookies
I made these over the weekend to take to my mum’s, I am not a big peanut butter fan but my brothers love the stuff, so I thought it would be a good place to test the recipe. I made these as cereal bars as opposed to cookies, this way there was far less sticky mess and it made it easier for me. I could not get chocolate stars or kisses were I live so I just bought a bar of regular milk chocolate and pressed the squares into the mix once I had poured it in. I greased the pan lightly before adding the cereal mix and then allowed it to set, it slipped right out whole once set and I just cut it into pieces. It went down a treat, with thumbs up all round and I have to say, I even thought it was good and I am not a big peanut butter fan.
