This day I love.......

Discovery foods really do make Mexican meals easy.  We have enjoyed them in the past and so when they contacted me to tell me they had launched a new Instagram page and to celebrate they were running a competition, well I had to enter.

All you have to do is get creative with Discovery foods and create a Mexican meal.  Share the beautifully presented Mexican meal using Discovery foods with Discovery on their Instagram Page.  You will then be in with a chance of winning one of 10 prizes to the value of £25 every week for 4 weeks.

I created Cajun Pirate boats.

I followed the recipe on the Cajun Chicken season sauce, to make my Cajun chicken.  I then filled the Discovery Taco with the Cajun chicken and sprinkled on top some grated cheese.  I placed two slices of red pepper to create a mast and half a baby tomato to create a ships wheel.

I finished off by decorating the plate with Discovery foods Garlic and Herb soured cream, which I made to look like the whites of the waves as the boat sails along the plate.

I also made the girls treasure chests, which was a taco filled with peppers, grated cheese and a small amount of the chicken,  I then used another taco on top to form a lid, which looked like a pirate chest.

I would love to see what you create so feel free to tag me in the picture on instagram too, I am thisdayilove.

My eldest daughter requested pizza for her lunch today.  I thought it might be fun if we experimented and made our own pizza.  Here is what we did

Ingredients:

Tortilla Wraps [we used 3]
Tinned chopped tomatoes 
Grated Cheese
Toppings of your choosing

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 C

2. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the Tortilla, we went for stars, circles and snowmen

2.  Place shapes onto baking tray and lightly cover with chopped tomatoes.  [We heated our tomatoes in a saucepan first just to squash them down a bit and make the sauce easier to spread, but this is up to you]

3. Add Cheese on top

4. Add your toppings, we went for Pepper and Mushrooms

7. Make sure youngest daughter is also fed and entertained

 It was really quick and simple to do and taste lovely.  My daughter really enjoyed making her own pizza and I found it a great way to involve her in preparing food.  We will be doing this again as we had lots of fun.

This day I love Pizza
