Chicken & Mushroom Salad



Heyyyyyy,

This meal is as good as it looks! Creamy chicken and mushroom in my opinion is the best combination. Along with your protein this meal is also low in calories and provides you with greens and vegetables.
This is beautiful on both a hot and cold day.

Give it a go!

Peri-Peri Chicken Wrap

Peri-Peri Chicken Wrap
Helllooo to all of you food addicts,

This recipe is a great way to re-invent your old boring sandwich. In under 10 mins you can create a delicious meal you would find at a cafe. This is great to pack in the kids lunch box, or for yourself to take to work and university. By having home made food packed, this not only saves you money but also stops you from getting tempted into buying something from the food court.
The peri-peri sauce is a beautiful addition, but this also can be replaced by a sauce or your choosing.
