Easy Roast Veg


Roast veg is super simple, super tasty and super good for you. There's really nothing difficult about it but it can really improve a main meal.

My family typically eats this with roast chicken and my mom's homemade chips (also delicious btw) but you can have them with anything you like. We tend to have them in replacement for salad when we're not really in a salad mood. It's just another way of getting goodness in our bodies!

In all honesty this is so simple there is no way that you can mess it up!

You can use whatever vegetables you like, this is just the selection that is our favourite combination.

What you'll need:

  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 Yellow bell pepper 
  • 1 Green bell pepper
  • 3 red onions 
  • 10 cherry tomatoes

What to do:

  1. Chop the peppers into strips or chunks and put in a foil tray.
  2. Chop the red onion so that there are large chunks - not diced! - and add to the tray.
  3. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the tray too, then drizzle over some oil so that the veg doesn't stick to the tray. 
  4. Chuck in the oven at 180 degrees fan for about 35-40 minutes or until the veg has softened and deepened in colour.


TIP: you can sprinkle over some paprika to make them more interesting or you can leave them naked - we've done both and either way they're super tasty!





I hope you like these super simple roast veg just as much as my family and I do, let me know in the comments below if you make them or hit me up on twitter @GetItDownYaNeck. I'd love to hear from you!

Cajun Spice Mix

Image
I absolutely love this mixture of spices; it's spicy, its smokey and it can be added to a lot of dishes to spice things up a little bit! You can use this mixture as a dry rub or add a splash of oil to make a marinade. It can be made hotter/milder depending on which spices you use; for a milder taste skip the cayenne pepper and chilli powder, for hotter simply add more! As the recipe stands it's quite hot, but not hot enough to blow your socks off (bearing in mind I use hot chilli powder).  Making your own spice mix is a great way to control how spicy you like it, you can tailor it to your own taste! What you'll need: 1 tsp dried/powdered garlic 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp cayenne pepper  1 tsp italian seasoning/herbs 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp chilli powder  Simply combine all the dry herbs and spices together and you have your very own cajun spice mix! Once prepared use immediately or seal in an airtight container....

FROZEN IKEA CRUMBLE - REVIEW

Image
Most people are familiar with Ikea and all the home goodies you can get for a pretty decent price. However, apart from the infamous meatballs, I feel like many people don't venture into the 'supermarket/food section' of the shop and discover the different food on offer too. Being a foodie I love to see what new things I can try, and this was definitely new. I must admit, the thing that appealed to me the most about this was the fact it was a frozen crumble from Ikea.  I have never had a frozen crumble in my life and thought it would be a good idea for my first to be from a Swedish furniture store. Because why not? This is the 'Pajmix Apple and Paron' (apple and pear) frozen dessert from Ikea (find it here ) Making it was super simple, in the bag there were two smaller bags; one with the fruit and one with the crumble mix. All you have to do is pour the fruit into an oven safe dish and then pour over the crumble mixture. Then whack it in the oven and it...

Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Image
(Sorry in advance for the portrait pics, I was too eager to cook and serve the food to realise!) This dish is always a winner in my house, every bowl is scraped clean and has people asking for seconds. With a perfect balance between spice and cheesy creaminess, this dish is sure to go down well with pasta lovers. You can modify this recipe to suit your tastes; spicier or milder - you choose! My family likes it with a little kick so the recipe below is a little spicy. If you don't like spice you can make it as mild as you like! What you'll need: 4 chicken breasts (cut into strips or chunks) 2 tbsp cooking oil (of choice) 2 cloves of garlic (minced) 3 cups double cream 3 fresh tomatoes (chopped) Pasta (Fettuccine, spaghetti, or tagliatelle) 170g grated parmesan  Spice rub (see below) For the spice mix click here What to do: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan and bring a large pan of water to the boil Coat the chicken strips/chunks in the spice mix a...
