It’s amazing what you can do with a can of tomato soup. This is a souper (pardon the pun) easy, tasty pasta bake that you can throw together after a long day and kids love it.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 can (295g) of Erin or Campbells condensed cream of tomato soup
1 soup can of water
2 1/4 cups of uncooked pasta (penne or fusilli works well)
3 sliced chicken breasts
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen sweetcorn
Black pepper
1/2 cup of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Method:
Serve on it’s own or with a green salad.
Enjoy,

This is probably one of my favourite face masks that i repurchase and always have in my bathroom.
If your skin is dry or dehydrated, this mask will boost moisture levels and quench thirsty skin in five minutes leaving your skin feeling replenished and soothed. It contains some great ingredients including vitamin E, white willow extract, urea and marshmallow extract.
This mask is suitable for even the most sensitive skins. I can testify to this as i used it liberally post-babies during my most dry and blotchy sensitive skin phase.
It has a thick creamy white opaque consistency and a has bit of an ‘old lady’ musty rose scent which isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. It is recommended to use the mask once or twice a week on a thoroughly cleansed face and neck, leave for five minutes and rise with lukewarm water.
If your skin is quite dry, dehydrated or sensitized i would recommend applying a thick layer before bed and leaving it overnight to for maximum benefits. It is one of those creamy masks that sinks into the skin so it won’t rub off on your pillows. You will wake up with your skin feeling plumper, nourished and more radiant.
Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Intense Moisture Mask is €11.99, a really great price point for such a good product. I would certainly pay double that and the tube lasts for ages.

I whipped-up this soup in a hurry last week before my girlies (aka my sistas from anotha mutha) called over for lunch. The soup turned out really well and the girls have all asked me to share the recipe which is always a good sign.
I use frozen veg which makes this soup very quick and easy to make. This soup freezes really well too. 
Serves: 6 people
Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion chopped
2 large garlic cloves crushed
1 large potato peeled and quartered
600g bag of frozen broccoli
600g bag of frozen cauliflower
1 veg stock cube
100ml cream
100g red cheddar grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper
