I’m a huge fan of all things Mexican, especially the food, and burritos have always been a firm favourite at my house. This Slow Cooker Burrito Bowl recipe is a healthier take on a classic, and is slow cooked in an Instant Pot, making it oh so simple! To keep this super healthy I’ve made it without cheese, but I’ve added that in as an optional extra in the ingredients if you want to add it yourself. Continue Reading…
This recipe came together when I was staring into my all but empty fridge, trying to come up with something different to eat.

Did you know that UK households waste a massive 7 MILLION TONNES of food every single year? That works out, according to the government agency WRAP, at a loss of £700 per family on average. Just think of what we could all do with that extra £700 each if we simply made an effort to reduce our food waste?

This blog post for my No Waste one Pan Gammon & Bean Bake doesn’t only give you one recipe, but if you scroll further down gives you TWO MORE recipes for how to use your leftovers and reduce your household waste.
