This was brilliant.

Low fat and delicious.

Open a tin of spag and tip it on to a pizza base.

All wrapped in a tortilla with plain yogurt, cheese and hot sauce.

More of this! Lovely. Pumpkin, Mushrooms, Goats Cheese (yummmmm), olives, capsicum, tomato and basil (from our garden!).

Cooked up on the bbq! In a roll with greens, carrot and beetroot.

Cooked the corn on the barbie too. Very nice.....

Chocolate Cake

Ange and her colleague Kayla made a 40th birthday cake for her manager at work (brown noser!)

I made sure I got some - it was full on. There were three blocks of dark chocolate in the cake alone!

Spinach Lasagne

Angia made this lovely lasagne the other day. She let it sit for a day before cooking it then another day before we ate it.

The flavours were enhanced so much! Very nice. Healthy too.

Home Made Spring Rolls

An old favourite of ours.

Spring Roll wrappers filled with rice noodles, cabbage, carrots, spring onions, garlic and ginger.

Have with plum, soy and / or chilli sauce.

Delicious!

Asian Spaghetti

A nice asian stir fry using spaghetti instead of noodles.

Fried Rice

Really quick, easy and tasty this one.

Ange got a packet of brown basmati rice you just have to heat up. Added that to corn, egg, beans, mushrooms and garlic cooked in sesame and bran rice oil.

Add a dash of sweet chilli and soy sauce. Lovely.

I just bought pizza bases and added pizza sauce, capsicum, onion, prawns, feta, mushrooms and some nice seafood spice.

I think it came up quite well!

Go me........

Prawn and Lemon Risotto

My first offering to the blog! This takes a bit of time as risotto always does.

The thing I have found you need to do to make a good creamy risotto is to ensure the stock is simmering and not too cool.

Turned out nicely if I may say so myself.

Vege dumplings with salad

Ok - we cheated. These dumplings are bought from Pak n Save. They are delicous though! A little soy and sweet chilli sauce.

Butter Bean Burger with baked chips

Really nice. The burger has butter beans, pumpkin seeds, lemon, zucchini and red onions. In pita's with tomatoes and lettuce.

Chips just seasoned with El Dente Peak Seasoning (all the way from Denver), a little chilli infused avocado oil then baked in the oven.

Tofu Enchilades and Salad

I love this one! We have had our Nacho seasoning sent over from our favourite little spice shop in Denver and it just makes this dish.......

Lentil and vege bolognaise with spaghetti

A little bland for my liking but a good feed never the less........

Available Ingredients Udon Noodle Stir Fry

A personal favourite!

Just add cabbage, carrot, shrooms, corn or whatever left over veges you have. Stir fry with some Udon Noodles, Sesame Oil, Oyster Sauce etc. Even an egg perhaps. Delicious!

Chilli Beans

Today we had a chilli bean and potato bake accompanied by Asian Coleslaw.
