Here's my favorite go to when I want something that feels a bit special but doesn't require much fuss. These hummus flatbread pizzas come together in under an hour and are packed with roasted vegetables that make them feel so much more satisfying than your typical takeaway. The hummus base is brilliant because it's naturally creamy and packed with protein and fiber, so you're getting real nutrition without any heavy cream or cheese. What I love most is how simple the whole thing is to pull together, especially the yogurt and flour dough that barely needs any kneading. It's one of those recipes that looks impressive when it hits the table but actually takes very little effort in the kitchen.

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the courgettes and peppers with the olive oil on a baking sheet. Sprinkle over the oregano and some black pepper. Roast for 30-35 mins, turning the veg halfway through, until softened and starting to char.

Meanwhile, make the flatbreads. Tip the flour into a bowl and stir in the baking powder. Stir in the yogurt using a cutlery knife until you have a soft, slightly wet dough. Cut the dough in half and set aside to rest for 10 mins.

Heat a large non-stick dry frying pan over a low heat. Knead one of the dough halves briefly on a well-floured work surface until it’s smooth and elastic, then roll out into a roughly 17cm circle. Put the flatbread in the pan and cook for 3 mins, then flip and cook for 3 mins more until cooked through. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with the second dough half.

Spread the hummus over the flatbreads, then pile on the roasted veg and scatter over the olives and basil. Drizzle over a little extra virgin olive oil and serve warm.

How to Make Candied Bacon
This is honestly one of my favorite things to make when I want something special but don't have much time. Candied bacon comes together in under thirty minutes and costs just a few dollars, plus it's ridiculously simple. The brown sugar caramelizes beautifully while the bacon crisps up, creating this amazing sweet and salty contrast. I love that black pepper adds a little kick and actually contains piperine, which helps your body absorb nutrients better. Whether you're serving it at brunch or sneaking a piece as a snack, this recipe never disappoints.
Fried bread
My go to comfort food when I'm craving something warm and satisfying is fried bread. It's incredibly simple to make, taking just seven minutes from start to table, and costs almost nothing since you probably have these ingredients on hand already. The neutral oil I use adds minimal flavor while helping the bread get perfectly golden and crispy on the outside. I love how this quick snack comes together when I need an instant pick me up, and it's so versatile you can eat it plain or top it with whatever you're in the mood for.
Pesto Gnocchi
This is my go to weeknight dinner when I want something impressive but don't have much time. Pesto gnocchi comes together in about twenty minutes, making it perfect for busy evenings, and it's surprisingly budget friendly since you can use store bought gnocchi and pesto. I love that basil, the star of any good pesto, is packed with antioxidants and has anti inflammatory properties. The sweet cherry tomatoes add a beautiful freshness while the toasted pine nuts bring a lovely crunch. It's simple, elegant, and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
