Fish Cakes
A very easy, healthy meal to serve, either with toast for a quick lunch, or as a filling for a sandwich, or even together with mashed potatoes and salad as a main meal. This recipe is as versatile as it is delicious. Using the correct fish ensures you are getting your daily dose of Omega 3 and 6, and is very good for the children’s concentration, so I love serving these fresh from the griddle on those mornings when the children are due to write a test at school.Ingredients: 1 tin canned fish (pilchards with tomato sauce is More >

Lemony Steamed Corn
Nov 26th
Lemony Steamed Corn Don’t we all want corn in our  Thanksgiving dinner menu! I made a side of lemony steamed corn that is healthy, light and great on taste buds. You need: 1 pack of frozen corn, no need to thaw 1 tbsp butter 2 tsp garlic spread/seasoning or Italian seasoning 1 tbsp lemon juice salt and pepper to taste Steam the corn for 20 minutes (I use my rice cooker’s steaming feature). In a serving bowl, add corn, butter, seasoning, lemon juice and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
