Lentil Soup
I’m telling you, I am really enjoying and always looking forward to Saturdays because I am getting into the habit of cooking lots of goodness for my family. I am enjoying cooking and eating soups.

Tagine
My family totally spoiled me for mothers day. I’m lucky just to have them, but they gave me a special day and some special gifts! In this post I commented about Monte giving me a lovely gift. Monte gave me a tagine. And a coffee maker. The tagine is a very pretty thing and I […]
Chicken Noodle Soup
When the weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful, since there’s no place to go let me cook let me cook let me cook! I love spending wet, windy weekends in the kitchen.

Fish Molee
Fish Molee I used 3 large Ling fillets to make this succulent fish curry. I really like fish curry. Fish is wonderful, and in curries it tends to soak up the flavours; it goes particularly nicely with coconut milk! Another bonus is that it cooks quickly! This meal will take, maybe, 20 minutes to cook. […]

Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins and roasted pumpkin with our roast beef dinner. pumpkin bread pumpkin muffins Mix 2 cups SRF, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup dried fruit (eg chopped dates, sultanas, cranberries) or choc chips (or both) […]
