Chocolate Chip Muffins

A LOVELY BIT OF MUFFIN This recipe will hopefully prove popular with all of you muffin lovers (you know who you are) as my Blueberry muffin recipe is, to date, the most popular on my blog. You all obviously have, like myself, extremely good taste!! Before we get on with the recipe at hand, take 2 minutes to enjoy this hilarious clip, all based around "a lovely bit of muffin" from Ricky Gervais's Extras. As it seems such a long time since I baked any kind of cake I decided to try my hand at Chocolate Chip muffins today. These will appeal to the chocolate lovers - they are a slightly drier alternative to the juicy fresh blueberry muffins previously baked by myself. Makes 12 Medium Size Muffins 225g Plain Flour, sifted 2 Tsp Baking Powder, sifted 100g Caster Sugar 1 Medium Egg 125g Plain Yoghurt 125g Whole Milk 150g Milk Chocolate Chips Pinch of Sea Salt 75g Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled a little 1. Put your cases into your muffin tray; preheat oven to 18

Pork, Hoisin and Spinach Stir Fry

The aroma of Hoisin sauce is one of those magical ingredients in Chinese cooking. Its distinct salty and sweet taste is one that you either love or hate. If your opinion leans towards the former, there can be no more better match than pork cooked until tender, wrapped in the sticky sauce of hoisin. Today I made a stir fry consisting primarily of those ingredients. Taste-wise it was exquisite, and far healthier than anything you can eat from your local chinese takeaway. Like all stir frys, it was incredibly fast to cook, once my wok is smoky hot. The art, in my humble opinion, of a successful stir fry is to have your ingredients all chopped and ready to go into the wok when required. You simply don't have time to be messing around preparing ingredients once cooking commences. Serves 2 adults and 1 child Cost Per Serving £1.00 300g Pork Fillet, sliced thinly £2.30 1 Red Chilli, deseeded and chopped £0.12 80g Young Leaf Spinach £0.17 Juice of small Lime £0.30 100

Red Lentil Dhal

This meat-free Indian recipe has many healthy ingredients but does not compromise on taste. Cooked in my slow cooker, it only takes a few minutes to prep and then you're free to leave it to cook and while you get on with your day. The beauty of this recipe is that it feeds 5 people as a main or you can take a main portion and divide it between two people as a side dish with another Indian main. It also freezes well, so it's worth batch cooking extra portions for future use. Each portion comes in at around only 73p so you are getting an incredibly nutritious meal for little cost. Serves 5 450g dried red lentils £1.71 400ml tin light coconut milk £0.85 350ml cold water 1 medium onion, chopped £0.11 30g piece fresh ginger, grated £0.16 400g tin chopped tomatoes £0.35 3 garlic cloves £0.06 juice of 1 lemon £0.14 1 tsp turmeric £0.05 1 tsp hot chilli powder £0.05 2 tsp medium curry powder £0.05 5g fresh coriander leaves £0.14 Cost Per Individual Serving £0.73 Ingredients bou
