AD - Creamy pesto potato salad 🌿
I love a potato salad and this one takes it to the next level with bacon, sun-dried tomatoes and the new Providore pesto.
Made in Italy with basil, pecorino cheese and pine nuts - it is packed full of flavour.
I have added the recipe to this post so make sure you hit the save button for later.
This delicious pesto and the rest of the @providoreditalia pasta sauce range is in supermarkets now.

AD - Did you see the delicious chicken scrolls I shared on Sunday?
I love to use GLAD to be Green® Compostable Bake Paper - it’s non- stick, unbleached and chlorine free plus the best thing about it is you can pop it straight into your home compost once you have finished with it.

AD - You guys are going to love these buffalo chic

AD - You guys are going to love these buffalo chicken scrolls - they are the perfect combo of soft, cheesy and a little bit spicy. Using leftover chicken that I had in the fridge I whipped these up and baked them until golden on top of GLAD to be Green® Compostable Bake Paper. This means no scrubbing the baking dish for me and also the best thing is you can pop the bake paper straight into your home compost.

Buffalo Chicken Scrolls

Makes: 12 scrolls
Ready in: 40 minutes

Scrolls:
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp Italian herbs
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
50g butter, melted
¾ cup milk
150g grated cheese
Chicken filling:
200g cooked chicken, shredded
200g cream cheese
60ml chipotle sauce or tomato chutney

1. Preheat oven to 190°C fan bake.
2. Line a baking tray with GLAD to be Green® Compostable Bake Paper.
3. Add the flour, salt, Italian herbs and baking powder to a large bowl or stand mixer. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together.
4. Add the butter, milk and half of the grated cheese. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are damp, add extra milk if needed.
5. Mix together the chicken filling ingredients.
6. Dust the bench with flour then shape dough into a large ball. Knead lightly to combine.
7. Shape into a rectangle then use a rolling pin dusted in flour to roll dough about 1-2 cm thick.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the dough then roll up tightly. Cut dough into 12 even slices then place inside the lined baking tray. Sprinkle over the rest of the grated cheese and add extra chipotle sauce (if desired).
9. Bake for 20- 25 minutes until the cheese is golden on top and the dough is cooked through.
10. These delicious scrolls are best served warm.
