Top 20 recipes for May 2012

May is a fun month for trying new recipes. goodtoknow Recipes has over 8,000 cheap, quick and easy recipes for you to choose from this month. See our top 20 recipes for May.

This month we're loving:

Jubilee party recipes

We're very excited about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the 5th June 2012! We'll be making the most of the bank holiday weekend by throwing a special Jubilee party. If you're planning a party or if your neighbours are throwing a street party, take a look at our quick and easy party food ideas including canapés, sandwiches, Coronation chicken and lots of patriotic Jubilee recipes. It's never too early to celebrate - our selection of British recipes should get you in the spirit all through the month.

Healthy recipes

With summer looming we're restarting our diet this month. Luckily we have over 1,000 easy healthy recipes to help us out! If you find calorie counting the best way to lose weight our ever-popular family meals under 500 calories should come in handy. If you struggle with snacking (or just don't want to starve yourself) our 30 filling salad recipes and quick and easy lower-fat comfort food swaps will give you some lovely ideas for dinners.

Asparagus recipes

It may be a little posh, but we just love the taste of asparagus. In season this month, a lovely bunch of asparagus might catch your eye on the shelves in the supermarket. If you fancy trying it out on the family we have lots of cheap asparagus recipes, like pasta, risotto and salads so using it won't cost a bomb! 

BBQ recipes

We're keeping our fingers crossed that the rain will finally let up and we'll be able to crack out the barbecue! We're dreaming of outdoor eating with the family, serving up homemade burgers, kebabs and barbecue chicken alongside creamy potato salad and crunchy coleslaw - delicious! If you have to cater for any vegetarians, we have lots of tasty vegetarian BBQ recipes too!

Cheap, quick and easy recipes

Whatever time of year it is, we're always adding new easy recipes for cheap family meals. From cheap chicken recipes to speedy pasta dishes and easy dinner ideas, our recipes will help you keep your mealtimes fresh all year round.

Whatever you're making this month, have fun! Join us on our Facebook page to share all your food pics, tips and recipes.
