Healthy eating, made easy!

Potatoes are seriously AMAZING! Not only are they the most versatile veggie but you just can't have a bad potato meal - right!!  This is my mums Crazy potato bake, and while it's all gooey and delicious, it's defiantly something that's always at our family events (no matter the weather!). It's going to be a popular one this christmas, I can't wait!  Heres the recipe.  Serves 6Cook time: 1 hour Prep time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 6 rashers bacon, sliced thinly 1kg white potatoes, sliced in thin rounds (around 10 medium)1 medium onion, finely sliced 1 garlic clove, crushed 600ml thickened cream 1 cup of  shredded mozzarella cheese Olive oil, for cookingSalt and pepper, for cookingPaprika to sprinkleDirections: Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large non-stick pan, heat olive oil over a medium to high heat. Add bacon, onion and garlic into the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, until bacon is cooked and onion is translucent. In a large mixing bowl, add potatoes, 1 cup of cheese, cream and bacon mixture. Mix to combine. Place this mixture into a deep baking tray and sprinkle the paprika on top.  Cover with alfoil and place into the oven for 1 hour. Remove alfoil after the first 30 and place back into the oven for the remaining 30.  Allow to slightly cool and 'set' before serving.  Tip: Place your sliced potatoes into the dish that you are wanting to use before to ensure you have enough! 

HERE IT IS! Woolworths Delivery Unlimited! You guys have seen me rave about how exciting It was to start getting my groceries delivered, and you have told me to do it forever but I've finally listened and partnered with my fave @woolworthsau!! My goodness, why didnt I listen earlier?!! I'm LOVING this! I at first was a little worried about the freshness of the fruit and vegetables, or that I wouldnt get things like 'soft' avocado etc if I needed it urgently, but I was pleasantly surprised and I also really LOVE how you can write little notes and directions for the picker/packers. I SERIOUSLY love it. Here I made a delicious Gluten Free Spinach and ricotta cannelloni, which you can make at home with Woolworths Delivery Unlimited (and we can both get excited about delivery day haha!).

Lay the zucchini and eggplant strips down onto the pan and cook until lightly brown on each side - this will give the dish a better taste & is easier to roll. Continue cooking until all slices are cooked through.   In a large mixing bowl, add ricotta, spinach, feta, garlic, nutmeg, chilli, basil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.   Lay one piece of the zucchini flat on the bench and place 1 tbsp of mixture at one end. Roll towards the other end, wrapping tightly. Toothpick shut (or leave seam side down). Repeat with all zucchini and eggplant.  Lay the rolls into a deep baking tray (zucchini ends side down so it doesn't unravel) and repeat with the rest of the mixture.  Pour Napoletana sauce over the top and sprinkle the parmesan. Place into the oven for 30 - 40 minutes. Thank you to Woolworths Delivery Unlimited for partnering with me on this recipe! 

AIR FRYER WHOLE CHICKEN?! You best believe that when I first made this - It was probably the best day of my life hahahaha. I've partnered with @philipshomeliving and their incredible Airfryer XXL with Smart Sensing Technology! This is the one I have at home and you guys know how much I genuinely love it! I have the XXL because with air fryers, bigger is always better - especially if you have a family or guests over. I used the whole chicken Smart Setting to make this whole chicken and it is UNREAL and super juicy on the inside, with that crispy delicious skin on the outside (sorry about the stuffing visual, it just makes everything better haha). Make this TODAYYYY in your air fryer, you won’t regret it. Thank you @philipshomeliving for partnering with me on this! We LOVE air fryers here!! Get this recipe on my website today - www.leahitsines.com Serves: 4  Ingredients: 1 x whole chicken (size 20 fits in the airfryer perfectly)2 spring onion stalks, sliced thinly 10 basil leaves, chopped finely 2 thyme sprigs, chopped finely 4 tbsp tomato paste2 large garlic cloves, crushed1 lime, juiced1 tsp paprika1/4 tsp cayenne pepperGenerous amount of salt and pepper2 tbsp olive oil Directions: In a mixing bowl, add the spring onion, basil, thyme, tomato paste, garlic cloves, lime juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and olive oil. Mix well.  At the tip of the chicken breast, lift up the skin and separate from the breast (without tearing!) Pull gently to separate. This is an icky thing to do, but it really flavours the meat.  Divide the tomato mixture into 4 and place one quarter down one half of the breast, and then repeat down the other half. With the remaining mixture, coat the entire chicken. Place the lime rinds inside the carcass of the chicken.  This next part is optional, but makes for an easy and even cook. Time to tie up your chicken! Using some twine, tie up together the drums, pulling them right towards each other. The name for this is to ‘truss’ a chicken.  With a generous hand, sprinkle salt ALL over the chicken. This helps the skin to get crispy and have that delicious salty taste. Place the chicken breast side down in the airfryer basket, and change the setting to chicken and press go! The smart sense technology will take care of the rest. If you do not have a smart sensing machine, turn it to 165 for 1 hour. Flip half way. To crisp up at the end, change the temp to 180 degrees celsius for 10 minutes.  Slice and serve!
