When I was reached out by AL Chipino I couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Receiving carton-loads of nachos is undoubtedly a dream come true for good people like me! The brand has a number of interesting and unique flavours and the tortilla chips are non-GMO and are gluten free!

Of course, the natural inclination is to bust open a pack and get your salsa and pig out in front of Netflix – pretty plain obvious.

But we can do much more than that at Kitchen Therapy – over the next few weeks I am going to share with you a range of unique recipes using nachos in your cooking.

This is a simple twist on the family favourite comfort food – Mac & Cheese! With a bit of nacho crunch on top, this definitely fancies up a regular fare!

I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair. so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

Leek Mac + Cheese

This is a meal I make often just for myself. I love mac+cheese and it is very much a part of my dinner roster menu. I love mixing it up with various ingredients, but the one I love the most is adding lot's of sautéed leeks which adds such intense flavour and I still feel I have eaten my greens (pls no, don't believe me, this amount is not enough, pls add a green soup on the side!) This recipe mentions macaroni, but I use whatever pasta I have and I am partial to spaghetti at times!

Savoury Potato Cake

A mashed potato cake is a dreamer's paradise. I found an Italian nonna's recipe for a mashed potato bake layered with ham and cheese, baked into a crusty glory - and I had to try it instantly. Of course, I had to add my version with a layer of colourful vegetables in the center and so here we have a baked savoury potato cake! And maybe one day, this version will be Kamini nonna's recipe for my grandchildren ;)
