If you’re into easy one-pan meals, you’re gonna love my Potato Gem Shepherd’s Pie. It’s the classic comfort dish…but with a busy-mum twist. I was all set to mandolin some potatoes, then realised — ahhh nope, no potatoes left. Raided the freezer, found a bag of potato gems, tossed them on and prayed to the
If you’ve never given Greek yogurt a chance in a savoury dish, these high-protein tzatziki chicken bowls might just make you a convert. They pack a serious 51 grams of protein for only 356 calories, and the best part? You can meal prep them without breaking a sweat. I follow my trusty poached chicken method,
Now you have to tell me below, does this type of cook-up help?
