This plum flapjack crumble is one of my favourite ways to use up the season's fresh fruit. It's wonderfully simple to throw together, needing just basic ingredients you probably have in your cupboard, and the whole thing comes together in just over an hour. The oats in the crumble topping are packed with fibre, which keeps you satisfied for longer, while the toasted almonds add a lovely crunch and richness. I love serving this warm with vanilla ice cream, and honestly, it tastes like you've spent far more effort than you actually have.

Campfire stew
Nothing beats a hearty campfire stew when you're feeding a crowd, and this one's become my go to recipe because it's so straightforward to throw together. The beauty of this dish is that most of the work happens while you're relaxing by the fire, letting everything simmer away for hours.

Ultimate roast potatoes
After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within. The secret is using duck fat, which contains oleic acid, a heart healthy monounsaturated fat that's actually good for you. What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss. Trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back.
Tropical Quinoa (Ww)
This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
