25 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Slimming World Chicken Doner Kebab Fakeaway night in. A delicious homemade chicken doner kebab meal with lots of sides and so easy and quick to make too. Discover just how simple it is to make chicken doner kebab at home with all the trimmings. Nowadays we have this huge obesity epidemic. There are more fat people than skinny people and it is killing us. All the fat in our diet, all the processed foods and don’t get me started with the lack of vegetables that way too many families have these days. One of the biggest blames is the fast food establishments. McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC and of course the British kebab and pizza takeaways. Yet they were around 30 years ago and there was not as many fat people then. Yet its all their fault in the eyes of the rest of the world. Fast food was available long before then and always will be. But there is one common difference. Back then fast food was a treat. Sometimes once a week or sometimes once a month. I grew up with the grandparents that would treat themselves to Fish & Chips on a Friday night. And that would be it for greasy unhealthy food. Yet now the takeaways are busier than ever with people reaching out for the phone and to ring up a takeaway at least 4 times a week. Yes 4 times a week….. And now the takeaways will do buy one get one free so that takeaway of a doner kebab and fries, is suddenly a doner kebab fries and a pizza and some onion rings and a full sugar can of drink. The calories have suddenly tripled in size and are happening 4 times as often. That 750 calorie treat has suddenly turned into a 3000 calorie treat and 3000 calories 4 times a week. All of a sudden fast food is 12,000 calories a week and vegetables are only ever heard of in the garnish of a burger. So no wonder we have such a problem. I remember having a doner kebab takeaway when I was in my teens. I would sit on my tummy next to my mum and we would have a doner kebab each while watching a movie. It was the 90s and the chances are it would either be an Eddie Murphy or a Goldie Hawn film. With one portion of fries between us. That was it. There was not this greed like there is today and it would happen maybe once every 2-3 months. Not several times a week. There was no guilt in having it and you were not fat. Apart from this you might eat out in a restaurant once a week and there would rarely be any other fast food. We still had several fast food places and there was of course temptation everywhere, there just wasn’t the greed like there is today. But if you are on a diet like Slimming World and you are in need of losing weight, then I have a real treat for you in my Slimming World Chicken Doner Kebab Fakeaway. No guilt at all and so easy to make at home. I even have the sides covered. It is also very easy to make and you could do it like we do, where one of you is in charge of the bread and then the other the chicken, then share out the jobs of the sides. Plus don’t forget you can save yourself a small fortune by making it yourself compared to the cost of buying a takeaway. We used just pantry items plus a couple of chicken breasts. We made the chicken doner meat in the Airfryer and then used a large wok for cooking the pita breads in. So lets start with the homemade chicken doner kebabs and then we can add on the sides.

24 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Easy Traybake Chocolate Chip Blondies. Home baked chocolate chip blondies with 2 different types of chocolate chips and a taste that is so good, you wouldn’t be able to stop with just the one chocolate chip blondie. These chocolate chip blondies are sponsored by Checkered Chef and their large baking tray and cooling tray two in one set. Where do I start when I am talking about chocolate traybakes? They are just part of the diet, something that you grow up on and something that you adore from a small age. It wasn’t until I was about 15 that I ever heard the word “brownies” and it wasn’t until last year that I had heard of blondies. You see I grew up in England and their idea of brownies (or their version) would always be either chocolate cake or chocolate shortbread made via a big fat traybake. At school growing up you would have a really big slice of chocolate shortbread and it would be served with flavoured custard. My favourite was always the one with strawberry custard. It was the best. I sat next to a really skinny girl that hated pudding so I would always finish hers. Maybe why I was chubby and she wasn’t? But it was so good, it was worth the extra bit of puppy fat. But I also loved the chocolate sponge cake version that they served up with warm chocolate custard. It would have a delicious sprinkling of icing sugar on top and have loads of chocolate. Plus the big difference between a British traybake and an American one would have to be the butter. Us Brits are butter obsessed and believe that everything tastes better if you have extra butter. So butter would come first. Actually, better just say that I liked all desserts from school that were nut free. And that I was never bothered for the main course, but wanted to get my spoon into the dessert. It would also be very simple to make the school puddings at home. Especially the chocolate shortbread. It had butter, plain flour, caster sugar and a cocoa and that would be it. It was also one of those things that I learnt first to cook for myself when I left home. Here in 2017 though, I still have found memories of those school dinners. But now I am venturing into cooking blondies instead. Blondies are just like Brownies the only difference is that they are made with brown sugar being the star, rather than chocolate being the star. Instead of cocoa you will add one main extra to the recipe as your classic add on. This could be chocolate smarties, chocolate chips, lemon or caramel. In our version though we have been greedy. We have gone with white chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips. It gives it the total wow factor and makes you a massive batch of chocolate chip brownies. We also found that because it’s a traybake there was very little washing up and it was very fast and easy to make. This recipe is certainly going to be a keeper and we will be going back to it time and time again.

23 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Airfryer Baja Fish Taco Recipe. Delicious summer fish tacos with the help of our Airfryer. Loaded with fresh mango and fresh cod it’s a recipe keeper for your family. I love white fish. I am the granddaughter of a fisherman. I used to love going out on the boat with him and the smell of the fresh fish he was catching. Even now when I am at the harbour and smell fresh fish I think of him. Unless you are catching a high end piece of fish such as the fish caught on Deadliest Catch then the chances are is that the money will never pay well. It is a poor job with often a case of going weeks without a living wage and many fishermen work below the poverty line. But the one perk is that you have an endless supply of fish to take home with you for supper. Delicious fish that you can make a huge amount of different dishes with. My grandad also grew his own fruit and vegetables in his allotment so this meant that the money spent on food was very, very little. BUT OMG he made the best ever fishcakes, fish stew and I absolutely loved the way he cooked batter with a piece of fish. Though if he had a few too many beers, then the food would be very salty as he would have added the salt more than once, because he would have forgotten in his drunken haze. He also loved a variety of food in his diet and he would absolutely love these: I could just imagine if he was a fisherman today, that we would be sat on his bench outside in the summer sunshine, tucking into them and commenting on how great Mexican food can be and why cod is just the best! Sadly, he died when I was 11 years old at Christmas 1993, so this moment is not going to happen. BUT he will always be the grandad that made cod exciting. My husband Dominic on the other hand, will only eat cod if it is battered, as he says like a typical Englishman that it’s the only way we should eat cod. Here in Portugal the way we eat cod is salted in a bake. A bit like how the Brits love their Oceans Pie but with some cheese in it. Bacalhau as they call it is one of my favourite Portuguese foods and my own personal way for enjoying cod. But I talked him in to making a big batch of this and he was in love. Though with a teenage boy at home too, I will be lucky if I get just one of them to myself:   To make these delicious Baja Fish Tacos we made our homemade tortilla wraps first, tossed our cod in a marinade, cooked them in the Airfryer, made our mango salsa and served it all up. You’re probably expecting something over complicated but it really is not. It is simple, hearty and so easy for a delicious family supper. We original recipe tested this on a Thursday night when we just wanted something simple. You can even be frugal load it up with extra vegetables and then you will need less cod in the tacos and then one piece of fish would stretch enough to feed six of you! All 3 kids joined us in the kitchen and we love it like that as it’s so much fun. Jorge at 9 months spent the time running around the kitchen in his baby walker and you need shoes on, so that he doesn’t run you over! Sofia spent the time trying to steal all the food and flooding the kitchen with her toddler washing up skills. But thankfully having Kyle around and him being a teen around means that you have someone that is exceptionally good at preparing the food and makes it feel like there are 3 adults present. And that is how our kitchen rolls during recipe testing evenings! I may add that they tasted delicious and it’s amazing what a great job the Airfryer does of making Baja Fish Tacos. It is like genius and is a must have if you want a really nice fish taco.

22 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Airfryer Cheese & Onion Nuggets recipe. A delicious dose of nuggets for when we fancy a meat free cheesy moment. An addiction in the Milner household and perfect for a quick snack for your kids when they come home from school. This recipe is sponsored by Kyle’s Mayonnaise and it was his small batch mayonnaise that gave me the inspiration for putting together this awesome recipe for the Airfryer. I don’t know which side of the fence you are on, but when it comes down to a choice between tomato ketchup and mayonnaise I am the mayo girl. I have never really got the addiction to ketchup and just can’t say no to mayonnaise. I even use it as a replacement to butter for my bread. When I first tried this mayonnaise it wasn’t like any mayonnaise that I had ever tried. I have always had the cheap supermarket brands and not really thought much about the mayonnaise and always assumed that it was supposed to be really thick. But last summer I did make my own and Kyle’s Mayonnaise is just like that and it got me thinking….classic shop bought mayonnaise is not great for cooking with, but a real mayonnaise like this one is just the right consistency for home cooking. You could mix it with your cheese for that delicious sloppy filling inside a nugget or inside a burger (think a Juicy Lucy) or in cheese toasties. Just think anything with a soft cheese filling and this is just perfect. And then of course it is the law to have some saved to one side for dipping your nuggets into. Plus it tastes so amazing you will wonder why you ever wanted to eat chicken nuggets for all these years. This gives you the filling of your dreams. coconut oil, Kyle’s Mayonnaise, cheese, spring onion or chilli. Then cover this up with homemade shortcrust pastry and cook them in the Airfryer. I’m a cheese and mayo addict so I am in foodgasm heaven recipe testing this so look away now if you are on Paleo!

Grate the cheese. Add to a medium mixing bowl the onion, cheese, mayonnaise, coconut oil , salt, pepper and the dried thyme. Mix well and make into 8 small balls and fridge for an hour. Roll out your shortcrust pastry and make into 8 nugget shapes. Make sure they are big enough for the 8 cheese fillings without being too big or small. Place the cheesy mixture into the centre of each of the pastry shape. Then seal it up so that there are no gaps. Using a pastry brush, brush egg over the pastry so that it will have an eggy glow when cooked. Cook in the Airfryer for 12 minutes at 180c/356f. Serve warm and while the cheese is still melting. Notes Edam is fantastic for this recipe as it is not too melty so is perfect for cooking with.The benefit of fridging the cheese mixture is that the coconut oil goes hard when cold and it stiffens up the mixture enough so that it wont explode later when you cook it.

21 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Paleo Smoothie Ice Lollies. These are made especially for my under 3s and are perfect for if you want something healthy this summer. These Smoothie Ice Lollies are completely Paleo friendly too and full to bursting with four different fresh fruits. On the 26th of September 2016 I achieved something that I once thought was impossible. That was to complete my family. After lots and lots of heartache my third and final child entered the world. There was never loads of pregnancy pictures on Facebook or on Instagram. Not because I wasn’t excited because I was over the moon, but because of fear that something was going to go wrong and how would I cope with everyone’s sympathy. So old school friends were rather shocked when Dominic revealed my pregnancy at 34 weeks when hardly anyone even knew I was expecting. But I was and the amazing Jorge entered our world in September last year: He is now a beautiful soon to be 11 month old. He is mischievous just like his big brother, full of character like this sister and is at that wonderful part of his life when everything is an adventure as he learns everything for the first time. One thing on his mind is always the food. That crazy transition that as new parents you always have. They have started off with breast milk which is easy. You just stick them on the breast every 4 hours and then bingo they are fed. But then four months hits and then six months and then seven months and then of course nine months. All key times when you can introduce more and more regular food into their lives. You are still incredibly cautious to make sure it is a food that a young child can have and is not going to damage their development or make them sick. Days out and meals out have to be pre-planned. And something simple like dessert and summer food can be very much like hard work. But some foods that I have always found can be perfect for them after 9 months is the following: * Honey * Coconut Milk * Fresh Fruit You just can’t go wrong and combined into smoothie ice lollies and you have something amazing for the little ones. Something that you know will give them something that is their dessert and then they don’t look at you so wantingly as you eat a piece of summer cheesecake without them. So this is for Jorge. His first ever smoothie ice lollies and a batch that I am sure he will be sharing with his soon to be 3 year old sister. Though I think she believes her big sister role is to lick up any spillages. Ice Lolly Vs Popsicle An ice lolly, a popsicle or an ice pole is the exact same thing. The Europeans call it an Ice Lolly, the Americans a Popsicle and the Australians call it an Ice Pole. The popsicle is a brand of American Ice Pops and if you asked for an actual Ice Pop many Americans would have no idea what you’re talking about. No matter what you call them they are one of the same. Usually associated with lots of frozen fruit, along with liquid and sugar for a delicious summer treat. Or if you are really lucky a fruit split, that is instead filled in the centre with ice cream. Paleo Smoothie Ice Lollies Recipe With four different layers of fresh fruit, honey for sweetness and coconut milk for creaminess this is heaven for both you and your kids this summer. * 50 g Fresh Blueberries * 50 g Fresh Mango * 50 g Fresh Strawberries * 50 g Fresh Kiwi * 1 Large Banana * 400 g Can Coconut Milk * 2 Tbsp Honey * Clean the fruit. Peel and dice the mango and kiwis. * In a blender place your honey, coconut milk and banana. Blend until smooth. Add 6 ice cubes and blend again. * Keep ¼ of the mixture in the blender and put the rest to one side in a mixing bowl.

17 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Airfryer Chilli Cheese Dog recipe. A healthier version of the classic frugal sandwich with premiums sausages, homemade cheesy chilli and a sprinkling of salad. They’re served in our homemade hotdog rolls and are best for some summer party fun. When I was growing up there was only one way that you ever enjoyed hotdogs….and that was out of a can with some baked beans and tomato sauce. They tasted good at the time and when you’re a kid, you really don’t know any better. In fact they are like a heart attack waiting to happen. They have even been named by scientists and nutritionists as being worse for your health than smoking. Yet we wouldn’t allow our kids to smoke, yet many, many families feed their kids these hotdogs for dinner ever day. Or if you don’t get them with the beans and tomato sauce, then the chances are, you have had them bought from the can in brine and then had them served into hot dog buns. You might even have had them with some mustard or some ketchup on top. Or the closest they have been to healthy would have been the onions that you had thrown on top. Even worse – since researching for this Chilli Cheese Dog, I have even heard that the chilli comes out of a can too. I mean “hello” chilli is just so easy to make yourself and so economical too. I am pleased to say that I have not touched cheap hotdogs for years. I am trying to think of the last time but can’t. But it must be at least 5 years ago. Plus think of the costs for a big bowl of chilli mince vs the cost of one can and just think how many you can feed and how much you would have leftover for later. But let’s face it, there is nothing that shouts out healthy. Everything says that you should avoid them like they are the plague and get them as far away from your kids as possible. But we all love a chilli cheese dog, so how do we make the best ever Airfryer Chilli Cheese Dog and keep it fairly healthy for them at the same time? Well what I do is use the best ever German sausages, they are Whole 30 friendly so you know that they are super healthy, along with homemade bread, homemade chilli and of course soft cheese. It gives you the complete wow factor and things are loaded up so high into your sandwich, that you will need to eat a bit with a fork because you can tackle it. And OMG if you offered this to your kids when they come home from school, I doubt there will be a kid that would say that they would rather have a can option. Plus if you want to win in the “team parents”, then the sauce made with the chilli cheese comes with loads of fresh and tinned tomatoes and I bet they wont even notice that it includes vegetables. What Is A Chilli Dog? A chilli dog is the generic name for a hotdog served in a hotdog bun and topped with delicious chilli mince, such as chilli con carne or bolognese with chilli seasoning. Often it also includes mustard, fried onions and melted cheese. In many parts of the world the name varies but the main ingredients and the idea behind it often stay the same. For example in the United States Of America they call it a Chili Dog, spelling it slightly different to the rest of the world with one less 🙂 There are also a few different varieties via different states of America including: * New Jersey = Texas Wiener * Michigan = Coney Island Hotdog * Rhode Island = Hot Wiener * New York = Michigan Hotdog * North Carolina = Carolina Style * Washington DC = Half Smoke Hotdogs also originate from Germany and are often referred to as Wiener.

16 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Airfryer Butterless Strawberry Sugar Cookies recipe. A delicious alternative if you are out of butter and want some sugar cookies for supper. Made with a good balance of coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil it is a recipe keeper. These came about because I had a terrible chocolate craving. I just wanted some cookies or some cake or some doughnuts. In fact I really didn’t care what I had, just as long as I had something…… Then I looked in the cupboard and I had zero butter, zero chocolate chips and absolutely zero soft cheese. You see normally if I have chocolate cravings I would have some homemade cookies or some homemade cheesecake. I also live out in the country. We live in a beautiful little village., There is no café, a small church and several country cottages and villas. It is great for long walks and we have the most amazing views. I love nothing more than taking the kids for an evening stroll. But it does mean that you are away from shops, restaurants and bars. So we always make sure we have a chest freezer and many cupboards full of food just in case we are running low. We bought the house because of its location. It is 20 minutes in one direction for the beach, the same another way for the waterpark, 10 minutes to our favourite café, 10 minutes to the local supermarket and 10 minutes to our favourite park. This means that it is 10 minutes drive to get some chocolate, so if you crave some it just doesn’t seem worth the effort to go and do something about it. In my cupboards I had a look to see what I had and all I had was: * Cocoa powder * Gluten free oats * Olive oil * Coconut oil * Caster Sugar * Honey * Loads of flour And before I knew it, I had played around with the ingredients and made myself some homemade sugar cookies. The cookie batter itself was really greasy and not as delicious as homemade cookie dough but it was okay. I crossed my fingers as they were cooking in the Airfryer and hoped for the best….I bit into them and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice they turned out. They were still a little too oily but they were perfect for the sugar cravings. So I made another batch a week later. Less oil this time and made a strawberry version instead of a chocolate version. They were the most amazing butterless sugar cookies that I had ever tried. And OMG they were truly amazing and I just can’t believe that these were just from experimenting and from leftovers we had in the house. They certainly make a totally different use out of strawberries and remind me of the local Portuguese cookies that we often have at cafes and restaurants.

15 AUG 2017 · Welcome to how to make a homemade custard cream cake recipe. Discover how to make your very own homemade giant custard cream cake. One that will taste like the best ever cake you have made, but with the flavours of a traditional British Custard Cream. This custard cream cake recipe couldn’t happen without MoldyFun and their Giant Custard Cream Mould and we are so pleased that they are sponsoring this recipe. Many of you know, that before we moved to Portugal in 2008, that we lived in England. I was born in London, raised in Yorkshire & had the first half of my 20’s in Manchester. If there was one thing that stays close to my heart then it has to be British baking. My grandma taught me how to make the most amazing buns, my aunt taught me how to make shortcrust pastry and my love for baking started at a very young age. I loved the biscuits the most. The Jammie Dodgers is my absolute favourites and I also love custard creams, party rings and chocolate digestives. One of our treats when we were first married was the broken biscuit boxes from Aldis. It was a huge cardboard box and it would be filled full of all the top British biscuits that was not fit for general sale. They would be broken or missing a key element and were basically the factory rejects. Plus because they were not perfect you got a huge box of them for a very low price. Sadly we ate them way too fast and could go through a box in four days and it clearly didn’t help my abs, that were slowly disappearing with each of the biscuits that I was consuming. But for the £3 that we paid for them, it cost about 90% less than what you would have paid for the biscuits if they had been complete. So it was one of those amazing money saving family things. We still get them every now and again from Iceland Portugal and they cost about 4,00€ so the price hasn’t changed that much over the years. But it is thinking about those broken biscuits that has given me a totally different idea of how today’s recipe is going to roll. You see we live in a food blogging world where we want perfection. We want the perfect looking salad, the perfect biscuit and of course the perfect looking burger. We read too many magazines when the glossy pictures look back at us and we believe that is what life is like. But in reality it is not. We have the dirty flour face on our kids, we don’t use a blow torch to make our food look good and we certainly don’t take 200 pictures of one meal, to then choose the best one for our blog. So I gave my kids the ingredients list to make my custard cream cake and set them to work. They took the pictures, even though they never even used cameras and did the first attempt of the custard cream cake recipe, until I did the finished piece. It was a bit of fun and we all had a great time giggling away, licking lots of cake bowls and having a great time and this is what true baking is all about. Sofia Making The Custard Cream Cake Mix At 2.5 years old there is nothing more fun than mixing all the ingredients together and then when nobody is looking, helping yourself. I swear she ate more mix than she made. Sofia Making the Mould Non-Stick I pointed out to Sofia that for the mould to work that it needed to be well oiled and needs to come away easily and for the custard cream print to show. She was a girl on a mission. She started with loads of butter down the bottom and sides, with plenty more butter in her hair and followed this with rubbing and shaking lots of flour in. The picture above was the end result. Sofia’s Just Cooked Custard Cream Cake Next was the custard cream cake out of the oven. Only problem with leaving under 16’s in charge is that they fail to check what time it went in the oven. This means that it cooked for about 10 more minutes that it should have done.

11 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Slimming World Greek Fakeaway night in. Dive into a night of Greek food with our family focused Slimming World friendly Greek takeaway menu. Slimming World Hummus, Slimming World Greek Dip, Slimming World Falafel, Slimming World Salsa and finished off with some Slimming World Pita breads. I have to say that I just LOVE Greek food. I am lucky enough to have visited several of the Greek Isles when I was growing up and loving the local culture and the local food. My favourite island was always Crete as the food was always spectacular and I would love to visit again one day. The only problem though is that its so difficult to visit the Greek Isles from Portugal especially when you have 2 kids under 3. You have to get a connecting flight as there are no direct flights for us, plus the flights are always late at night. Yet we can just drive for an hour in the car and we are in Spain or we can fly out to Madeira in an hour. So this means that Greece and the Greek Isles are often on the back burner. But wow the food. It is so family focused and everyone just thinks about family and eating together. I love this quote from My Big Fat Greek Wedding: “We are always together eating…eating….eating…” As it is so true. Portugal which is also on the Mediterranean has always had a similar opinion on food. Plus I can imagine if any of my kids marry into a Portuguese family that it will be like the movie. I remember disappearing on holiday in Crete when I was little and my parents going frantic. They looked everywhere for me and we were eating out at a restaurant at the time. In the end they found me in the back room of the restaurant with the kids and their family eating Greek food. But when you think of Greek food it is often bumped up with oils and butters and carbs and is not exactly Slimming World or low calorie friendly. So we decided to instead make a healthier version for a Slimming World Greek Fakeaway. With loads of food (after all the Greeks eat a lot and love their food) and to keep the Syns in check at the same time. So jump in and order in the ingredients as this is a Greek fakeaway that you will want time and time again.

9 AUG 2017 · Welcome to my Airfryer Scampi & Chips recipe. Delicious king prawns breaded and then crisped up in the Airfryer. Served with chunky chips and drizzled with lemon. It’s the perfect family mid week meal. OMG scampi and chips you say? Talk about taking me back to my old British pub meals. The meals were never that great and it was more about being cheap and cheerful. But I still loved it and it was always about the amazing atmosphere that you got with being down the pub. I can also credit the fact that I met my husband down the pub, my mum and dad met down the pub and so did my grandparents. So its certainly a place to go for true love! I always remember though that there was a huge amount of traditional meals. There would always be scampi and chips, fish and chips, steak and ale pie, lasagne or even liver and onions on the menu. There would also be a large pudding menu too with everything coming with warm custard. You would then get a meal for a fiver and be proud of what you got for your money. Quite often one of us would be having scampi and chips. Those little prawns deep fried and served with fresh lemon and chips was always a favourite for many people. But in reality I have not been in a British pub for more than a decade. The last time I was in a pub was back when we lived in England. It had the pub on one side and then a massive kids soft play centre on the other. Dominic would be watching the football while I was next door with Kyle having fun kids time. He was about 5 or 6 at the time when we last went there. Then we would meet up together and have a delicious pub meal afterwards. It was bliss. And I wish they had more like that in Portugal. We only have a couple of soft play centres. One has poor hygiene and the other is way too far away. But of course I can dream. But even though I don’t have the soft play centres I can make the best ever Scampi & Chips at home in the Airfryer. It of course has to be with real prawns and not that rubbish you buy from the freezers in the local supermarket. You have to know what you’re eating and this version is much healthier. And it tastes so crispy being cooked in the Airfryer. And the chunky chips of course finish off the meal don’t they? Though in the British pubs they would always be served with garden peas. Well I am not much of a fan so that side of things is going to be left out. But the delicious pieces of scampi will be there would all their glory. What Is In Scampi?
