(Ad) The key to a good, productive day is a good morning routine 🫧 the @L’Oréal Paris Hylauronic Filler range is a staple for me every morning, to plump and rehydrate my skin. I’ve sworn by this range for years, specifically the Hylauronic Serum. It visibly makes a difference in just ONE hour! 🥰 the caffeine eye serum is a game changer if you feel your eyes can look a little tired and sunken in the mornings, as it visibly plumps my eye area! ✨ #skincare #skincareroutine #skin

I did it!! I finally did it! After several attempts, I’m so happy with how my beef wellington came out. It’s one of my all time favourite meals, so I wanted to get it spot on🥰 I have linked my key items for this in my Amazon storefront! some tips below!! 1. ensure you chill for around an hour between steps. I know this is time consuming but it means that it won’t fall apart! I chilled after the ham layer and then after the pastry layer too. 2. roll until it’s very very tight in the cling film. I think I was nervous before about rolling too tight, but the tighter the better!!! I even did 2 layers. 3. cook the duxelle down for as long as you can, on a medium high heat. I also patted down with some kitchen roll to get rid of any excess moisture. 4. I cooked on a pizza pan to ensure the base went crispy. Someone recommended this to me!! 5. sear the meat properly… this is something I haven’t done as well before and I think that’s what’s caused issues with soggy pastry. (I hate the word soggy😂). I used 600g fillet of beef which was perfect for 4 of us, with some left over too which my dad polished off 😂🥰🤣 I could have cooked it for slightly longer maybe- I did 26 minutes on 190. But we don’t mind it rare so that’s fine… but I would increase that if you want a bit more medium rare / medium. I used 400g of mushrooms for the duxelle just chopped finely with some garlic and thyme. I also used ready rolled pull pastry! For the gravy I fried off 3 diced shallots, thyme, garlic and a bay leaf. I added 600ml red wine, boiled until reduced into a syrup and then added 600ml beef stock, and thickened up ❤️ #fyp #cooking #beefwellington #dishupdinnerwithme #DinnerIdeas #dinnerwithme #cookwithme
Dish up dinner together ❤️✨🥰 recipe is so simple. I used beef cheeks from thr butchers and browned them in a pan for a few min each side. Remove and then add 1 onion, 3 carrots, 2 cloves garlic, 2 celery sticks diced and fry off with olive oil in the same pan. Once fried for 10 min until soft, add 1/2 bottle red wine, 600ml beef stock, rosemary and thyme. Bring to boil and then add the meat back into the pan with the liquid. Pop in the oven on 160 fan for 4-6 hours. When done, remove meat and all of the chunks of veg until you have a smooth liquid (i used a sieve). Thicken the gravy with cornflour and TADAAA! Easy as that!! #dishupdinnerwithme #dishupdinner #dinner #servedinnerwithme #dinnertime #couple #cookwithme #cookdinnerwithme @Samthompsonuk
GARLIC PARMESAN PASTA WITH CRISPY CHICKEN 😍🍝 seriously… this tastes INSANE. I saved some over for my brother and he said it’s the best thing I’ve ever made. 🥰 For the chicken, slice the chicken breasts into two thin cutlets. Use a meat hammer to flatten the chicken. Get your breadcrumbs and season WELL. Salt, pepper, garlic granules, onion powder, parsley. Coat in egg and then into the breadcrumbs. Fry off in oil using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, about 4 mins on each side! For the pasta Iove using large shells. I dice 2 shallots, fry off for a few min and then add 2 large garlic cloves. I then added 150-200ml cream, more seasoning, chilli flakes, juice of 1/2 lemon and then lots of Parmesan! In order to Loosen the mixture you can add pasta water from your pasta, or more cream depending on how saucy you like it! I like the sauce just coating my pasta shells but you may want to make more sauce. Serve! So good 🥰😍🍋🍝✨ I’ve linked items I used on my Amazon storefront! Link in bio, I couldn’t find the exact bowls but I found v similar ones ❤️
RED VELVET CHRISTMAS TREE CAKE 🎄❄️⛄️🍰 I am so happy with how this turned out 🥺 I used ice cream cones to create the tree effect along with some piped butter cream (side note- turn your heating off when decorating because my trees started to melt 😂). #baking #easybaking #christmas #christmasbaking #cakedecorating #cake #CookingHacks #cookwithme
