Lemon Brownies 🍋🧈

A chewy texture bursting with lemon aromas will melt in your mouth and keep you on your knees. You'll need around 15 minutes to prepare this dessert, and then it bakes in the oven for a bit.

170 grams of butter

Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe 🥜🥚🍫 : https://www.cookitrealgood.com/peanut-butter-eggs/

OR comment with "Peanut" and I'll DM you the link!

For me, this Peanut Butter Eggs recipe is a holiday staple—not just for Easter. It’s my ultimate comfort treat that shows up during every festive season, including the run-up to Christmas. I hope that’s not weird 😆😁.

They've got that nostalgic chocolate-peanut butter combo everyone loves, but with a homemade twist that makes them even better. Plus, you can dip and drizzle them in any chocolate you like—dark, white, milk—and decorate them to look just like colourful eggs.

Nutella Brownies

Honestly, I first tried making these on a whim. A friend and I were having a lazy weekend baking session, and we had a jar of chocolate hazelnut spread lying around. We decided to see what happened if we added it to our brownie batter.

Ingredients:

125g unsalted butter
100g brown sugar
50g granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
200g Nutella
¼ teaspoon salt
150g all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
100g dark chocolate chips

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe 🥬🍴: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/

Still recovering from the nightmare of being force-fed stinky and bitter boiled brussels sprouts as a child?  Never fear - these Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon will turn even the most adamant brussels sprouts hater around.

Brussels sprouts really shine when oven roasted - crisp and caramelised on the outside and tender on the inside.  Not to mention how simple it is - throw everything on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes and voila!

Chicken Florentine

If you're craving a comforting, creamy dish, Chicken Florentine is the answer. Imagine golden-fried chicken smothered in a rich, garlic spinach cream sauce. The sauce is silky smooth, with just the right amount of tang from the Parmesan cheese and a burst of flavor from the fresh baby spinach.

Ingredients: 

For the chicken:

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

For the sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Glazed Carrots full recipe 🥕🍵: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/#sidedishrecipes 

OR comment with "CARROT" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐🍴

Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient.

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/

OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐

I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired.  This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own.  The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour.

It's on the table in 15 minutes.  Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes!  This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook.  But totally doable.
