Quick, simple and easy are three words I like to use a lot in my blog recipes. These three words are exactly what I need when cooking during the week. From Monday to Friday my family and I are always busy. My son Ted is at school, my husband Howard is at work and although I’m home I still like to write this blog and film my videos too. Plus I keep the house tidy during the week as well.
Therefore I’m always in need of recipes that will be quick and simple to cook but ultimately they have to be very tasty. I found this dish on a weight loss website but instead of the feta cheese I decided to use my cashew nut cream cheese. As many of you will know I have a gluten intolerance but also my stomach doesn’t like cheese much either. Therefore I’m always looking for alternatives and cashew nut cream cheese make a delicious replacement. Plus the dish was super simple to put together and we all really enjoyed this meal. We think you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Oven Baked Cheesy ‘No Cheese’ Salmon and Tomato Pasta was a huge hit in our house. My husband Howard, son Ted and I all enjoyed this dish. Howard is not a huge fish fan either but he doesn’t mind salmon. I know he liked it because he commented on it during the meal. Normally when he comments on the meal it’s a positive. If I have to ask it’s normally not such a great comment. Howard gave this dish a big thumbs up. Which is good news for me as it means it’s one dish I can now make time and time again. We loved this dish and we hope you do too. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
