Gregg’s chicken Bake Recipe – Tried and Tested

Greggs Chicken Bake

We would love going into Greggs in the UK for a quick snack or lunch when we were shopping on the high street. Steaming hot sausage rolls, chicken bakes, doughnuts (we love the caramel custard ones – my mouth waters just thinking of it) and the cupcakes with the rings that change to suit the season.

But unable to walk into a Greggs shop doesn’t mean that we cannot have a chicken bake …

Santa Maria First Taste Kit Unboxing Video Review

I love cooking and the children love spaghetti and I have a number of recipes on here, so when I was approached to try out Santa Maria herbs and spices, I was quick to say yes. However, this was a little different to the recipes I normally put up. This was a challenge to put up a video review. An unboxing video that may or may not have the recipe.

Meals made simple with Shwartz 2in1

We have home cooked meals cooked from scratch most of the time, although I admit with 3 children,we sometimes take the easy way out and resort to frozen chips and nuggets and fish fingers, not to forget pizza. Especially now with summer in full swing, the last thing one wants to do is stand by the hob cooking up a meal that takes ages. I do try out a few bottle sauces because my children, like most, especially love pasta. So, when there was an opportunity to try out the new Schwartz 2in1range, I signed up. I received 2 packets …
