  • Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

    Prepare to enjoy this delicious Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast as your next weeknight dinner. The creamy combination of spinach, feta, cream cheese and onion adds a burst of flavour to the tender chicken breast, keeping the chicken moist, tender, succulent, and full of taste. This Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast is a must-try for all chicken lovers. Let's start cooking! Helpful Tips Avoid Overcutting:  Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken breast when creating the pocket. If you do, simply seal the other side with an additional toothpick. Removing Chicken Tenders:  If your chicken breasts have attached tenders, you can leave them or remove them and save them for my AIRFRYER PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS Using Chicken Thighs:  While chicken thighs can be used, they are trickier to seal. Let it Rest:  After baking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even more tender Serve it with Rice or a Greek Salad For a well-rounded and satisfying meal, consider pairing this Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast with a side of fluffy RICE or a refreshing GREEK SALAD . The rice will soak up the delicious juices from the chicken, adding an extra layer of flavor, while the crisp and tangy Greek salad offers a fresh contrast to the creamy, cheesy filling.

  • Greek Pasta and Lamb Soup, gluten-free

    Experience the comforting flavors of a classic dish with this Greek Pasta Soup, which offers a gluten-free twist. Featuring tender lamb, gluten-free pasta, and a delicious tomato broth, this meal is ideal for a cozy dining experience. Whether you desire a hearty soup or seek a simple dinner option, this recipe will quickly warm you up. Let's start cooking! When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But what does that have to do with Gluten-Free Greek Pasta and Lamb Soup? It's all about making the best of what you have. Let me explain. Traditionally, this Greek Pasta Soup is made with KRITHARAKI, also known as orzo pasta. If you can find gluten-free orzo, go for it! But when you can't, it's time to get creative. Enter gluten-free elbow pasta—just as delicious, and it turned out perfectly! When I originally posted a photo of this soup on Instagram (featuring a gluten-free orzo I brought back from Greece, as seen below), many of you asked for the recipe. So, here it is—a simple, comforting dish that feels like a warm hug. You might notice that we serve our soup in mugs. Why? My family and I love enjoying soup from mugs, especially while cozied up on the couch watching a movie. Other Nourishing Recipes Creamy Ravioli Soup , gluten-free Baked Meatballs and Potatoes in a Rich Tomato Sauce , gluten-free Minestrone Soup with Butter Beans , gluten-free Stuffed Baked Chicken Breast , gluten-free Lamb Cutlets with Sage and Chickpeas , gluten-free Greek Pasta and Lamb Soup, gluten-free Serves 6 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 1 hour 15 minutes INGREDIENTS 6 lamb neck or forequarter chops  340g gluten-free Barilla pasta elbows 2 tbsp tomato paste  3 teaspoons sea salt Garnish: Freshly grated dairy-free parmesan cheese  Finely chopped fresh parsley or basil leaves  Instructions: Prepare the Stock: In a large, wide-based pot, add enough water to cover the lamb necks or chops by about 5 cm (2 inches) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the lamb pieces to the pot and skim off any impurities that rise to the surface. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to a simmer, and let it cook for 1 hour. Prepare the Lamb: After 1 hour, strain the stock to remove the lamb. Set the lamb aside to cool. Once cooled, shred the meat into small, bite-sized chunks, and reserve for later use. Flavor the Stock: Return the strained stock to the pot and bring it back to a gentle boil and add the sea salt and tomato paste. Stir until the tomato paste is fully dissolved and the stock is well combined. Cook the Pasta: Add the gluten-free pasta elbows to the stock and cook over medium heat for approximately 4 minutes. Note that gluten-free pasta may require more time than traditional wheat pasta, so adjust as needed. Finish the Soup: Add the shredded lamb back into the soup and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and cooked through (it should not be al dente but tender and silky). If the soup becomes too thick, add more boiling water as necessary to reach your desired consistency. Serve: Turn off the heat and let the soup sit for 5 minutes before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls or large mugs, and garnish with freshly grated dairy-free parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley or basil leaves. Enjoy this hearty and comforting Greek Pasta Soup with a touch of fresh herbs and cheese! Have you tried this recipe?

  • Simple Spiced Pulled Pork with Red Cabbage and Apple Slaw

    This is the easiest pulled pork you'll ever make! While some recipes require a long cooking time, there are those that only need a few minutes of preparation, like this Simple Spiced Pulled Pork. Just mix the spices, coat the pork with it, and bake. That's all there is to it. If you're home while it's slowly cooking, get ready for a tantalizing aroma that will fill your home. It might be tempting to open the oven, sneak a peek, or even grab a fork to taste, but I urge you to resist and exercise patience. After it's done baking, every bite will be worth the wait. You can trust me on that. This is how it all began. I came across an organic butcher at my local farmers market a few weeks ago and decided to buy a large piece of pork neck for the first time. Unsure what I would do with it, the lady suggested pulled pork. I did not own a slow cooker so the oven was the next best way to prepare this. At home, I brought together an array of spices I loved and hoped for the best. The result? My family loved this simple spiced pulled pork and cabbage dinner! When you look at the recipe, you may think this is a lot of meat to cook, I suggest you don’t worry about that as any leftovers can be turned into Pulled Pork and Slaw burgers the next day. Nothing better than cooking and the leftovers can be created into a whole new meal the following day. Spiced Pulled Pork with Red Cabbage and Apple Slaw Serves 6 Prep 10 minutes Cook INGREDIENTS Spiced Pulled Pork: 1.8-2kg pork neck 250ml water 6 celery sticks, cut in half Spice Rub: 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 chilli, thinly sliced (optional to remove seeds) 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon ground garlic ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon paprika To garnish: Fresh parsley leaves Lime Slaw Salad: ½ small red cabbage, shredded 2 granny smith apples, thinly sliced into sticks 1 large carrot, grated 3 green onions, sliced 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons honey (optional to add toasted sesame seeds) INSTRUCTIONS Spice Preparation: In a bowl, combine all the spices, extra virgin olive oil, and chilli. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Preparing the Baking Dish: Line a deep dish with baking paper. Place celery sticks in the dish to create a bed for the pork. Pork Preparation: Pat dry the pork neck with a paper towel. Place the pork neck onto the celery sticks in the prepared dish. Pour and rub the spice and oil mixture all over the pork neck, ensuring even coverage, including the underside. Allow the juices to drip over the celery sticks. Baking Process: Pour water into the base of the dish. Cover the pork with a sheet of baking paper to prevent it from drying out. Tightly cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent steam from escaping. Bake at 170°C (fan-forced), 190°C (conventional oven), or 375°F for 4 hours and 30 minutes. Do not lift the foil during baking, as this will allow the steam to escape. Instructions for Slaw: Dressing Preparation: In a bowl, dissolve honey into apple cider vinegar. Add extra virgin olive oil and whisk until well combined. Salad Preparation: In a serving bowl, combine all the salad ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with sesame seeds. Final Touches: Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a platter. Use a fork to shred the pork into pieces. Optionally, collect some of the stock from the baking tray and pour it over the pork, or make a gravy by adding cornflour to the stock and bringing it to a boil until it thickens. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shredded pork and garnish with parsley leaves. Serving: Serve the shredded pork with the slaw salad.

  • One-Bowl Halloumi Muffins, gluten-free

    Prepare these simple one-bowl gluten-free Halloumi Muffins for your weekly meal prep for school or work lunches. The combination of halloumi, zucchini, and mint creates a delicious flavour profile, while the almond meal adds a touch of sweetness reminiscent of Cypriot Flaounes. Flaounes These are small savoury buns stuffed with halloumi, raisins, and mint and garnished with sesame seeds. It is a combination that may seem unusual but works wonderfully. Unfortunately, there is a bit of work involved in making Flaounes so I’ve opted to create something with similar flavours but is much easier to whip up and cook. In fact, all you need is a grater, a bowl and a muffin tin.  Not a fan of the sweetness? If you are not a fan of combining savoury and sweet, leave out the honey or you can swap it for maple syrup if you are not a fan of honey. I’ve also written that you can add plain flour instead of coconut flour which will once again reduce that hint of sweetness. Halloumi Muffins, gluten-free Makes 10 medium size muffins Prep 10 minutes Cook 30 minutes INGREDIENTS 225g block halloumi, grated 1 large zucchini, grated (do not squeeze all the liquid out) 12 large mint leaves, chopped 4 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 green onions, thinly sliced 2 large eggs, whisked 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tbsp psyllium husk ½ cup almond meal ¼ tsp baking powder 1 tbs honey (optional) salt and pepper INSTRUCTIONS Combine wet ingredients:  In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and honey until well combined. Add dry ingredients:  Stir in the baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk until fully incorporated. Mix in remaining ingredients:  Gradually add the remaining ingredients, mixing thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Fill and bake:  Pour the mixture into greased or silicone muffin tins, filling each hole evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan-forced) or 200°C (conventional) for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or straight from the fridge the next day. Margaret Pahos @CreateCookShare

  • Spicy Butter Barbecued Corn, gluten-free

    Try this Spicy Butter Barbecued Corn for an irresistible smoky flavor and a touch of spice. Perfect for your next BBQ or as a side dish for any summer meal, this recipe brings out the natural sweetness of corn, enhanced by a rich, spiced butter. Let's start cooking! Spicy Butter Barbecued Corn Makes 6 Ingredients: 6 corn on the cob ¼ cup combined finely grated cheddar and parmesan cheese ¼ cup finely chopped coriander or parsley juice of 1 lime chilli flakes Butter Mixture: 2 tablespoon butter, room temperature ¼ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper ¼ tsp ground cayenne ¼ tsp paprika ½ tsp ground garlic Instructions: Fold back the husks: Start by carefully folding back the husks from the corn cobs, but keep them attached at the base. Remove all the corn silk from the cobs. Tear a few of the husks into long strips and use them to gather the remaining husks at the base of the corn. Secure them by tying with the husk strips, creating a natural handle. Soaking: Submerge the prepared corn cobs in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes. This step helps prevent the husks from burning and ensures the corn stays juicy while grilling. After soaking, drain the corn and pat it dry with a clean towel. Prepare the butter: While the corn is soaking, prepare the spiced butter. In a small bowl, combine softened butter with your choice of spices—think smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne for a kick. Mix until well blended, then set aside. Grilling: Preheat your BBQ or grill to medium heat. Place the prepared corn cobs directly on the grill. Cover and cook, turning the cobs occasionally, for about 18-20 minutes. The corn is ready when the kernels are tender, and the husks are slightly charred, imparting a subtle smoky flavor. Margaret Pahos @CreateCookShare
