[chandab]

Left-overs, made a pasta hot dish the other night, so just reheating.

Made homemade pizzas sat night , Ham Broccolini, onion, capsicum, sundried tomatoes and goats cheese, toped with a mixture of tasty cheese and parmesan.

Spent the day in the vegie garden yesterday and had no interest in cooking , so ordered in Chinese takeaway, kinda wish I hadn't , it wasn't very nice.................. You just know when a restaurant/takeaway has changed hands. They used to make their own spring rolls ect but im sure these came straight from the frozen section at the supermarket.

Tonight I have Pork fillets that I marinated last night in basil, oregano, woster sauce, seeded mustard and a touch of palm sugar.

Ill do those on the BBQ and have them with a side salad and baked sweet potato.

I haven't been very productive with meals the last few weeks. Its been a combination of working back late at work, needing to badly do a food shop and going thru as many leftovers in the freezer as I can.

BUT................

I did get this recipe off my sister for a two ingredient dough. I tried it the other night using a sweet option for it and it was really good.

2 cups of self raising flour

1 cup Greek Yoghurt.

Need for ten mins and roll out and spread your fav toppings over the top.

Roll up into the shape of a rolling pin then cut into scrolls/pinwheels.

20 mins at 180 degrees Celsius and presto

I made mine with apple , cinnamon , nutmeg and a sprinkle of brown sugar.

Would be great with pizza fillings ect

Im cooking a couple of lamb back traps tonight and will use them in a Greek salad

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Agnolotti pasta last night for dinner w/ Onion, celery, capsicum, pumpkin and goats cheese, which made up the sauce

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Chicken Salad last night for dinner.

Grilled the chicken breast , then sliced thinly.

Mixed salad greens, cherry tomatos , baby beetroot, fetta cheese, cucumber, carrot and pine nuts. Lemon and herb dressing.

I know it's just "cheap" store bought mix, but tried the Chicken Helper Sweet and Sour mix tonight, it wasn't bad. Mixed and cooked mostly according to directions (cooked chicken longer before adding sauce mix, I like my chicken done) and added a side of peas.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Grilled salmon and a couple of small side salads last night.

Coleslaw (store brought) I did make a nice creamy lemon dressing for it.

Cherry tomatoes ( yellow, orange and red) fresh basil, cucumber, toasted pine nuts and fetta.

Does anyone have any good salad recipes ? or summer friendly recipes?

I'm on the hunt for 1001 different salad recipes to get me through this summer.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Nasi Goreng for dinner last night which is an Indonesian dish. I guess you could say its similar to fried rice.

made enough for dinner tonight too

 

[chandab]

Frozen popcorn shrimp and Rice Roni fried rice. I'm no gourmet cook, but we don't go hungry.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Chicken Pesto pasta salad, easy to make and easy to eat

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Curried sausages with rice last night for dinner

 

[Silver City Heritage Farmstead]

This last week has been variations on left-overs from a buffet at work; pulled pork, baked beans and potato salad. Tonight is beef stroganoff over Amish whole-wheat noodles with early sweet peas and carrots on the side.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Toasted chicken pita wraps with a garlic aioli on the side followed by a bowl of cookies and cream Ice cream last night.

 

[chandab]

Chicken from the deli at the grocery store, I didn't have to cook, so it was rather good.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Saturday Marinated a butterfly chicken overnight in mango chutney, seeded mustard & wostershire sauce then baked it on Sunday night with some roasted vegetables and a side of peas.

Monday night I used the left over chicken to make toasted sandwiches with sundried tromatoes, capsicum and cheese.

last night I made Pho (pronounced fur) its a Vietnamese soup that I have wanted to make for ages. The broth itself , when made traditionally , takes 6 hours. I don't have that amount of time so I made another version I found online.

The broth itself , will last for months in the freezer, when heated add chicken, chilli, vegies of your choice and then top with bean shoots , mint , coriander, spring onions , hoi sin sauce.

I may try the extended version in winter

 

[chandab]

A little ham steak for supper here, probably with eggs and toast or bagel (well, toast for him, bagel for me).

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Atlantic salmon pan fried with a lemon pepper crust served with steamed vegetables

I was talking to someone about chicken recipes, and if hubby would eat it, I'd love to make Kowloon chicken for us; but with the pineapple in it, he probably wouldn't touch it. My Mom used to make it, it's a crock pot dish, we loved it as I recall. Found a recipe on-line that sounds similar to Mom's.

Yum , im going to try that. You could try it without the pineapple for hubby and add some to yours before serving ?

Or secretly mash it up and see if you can trick him ( providing he isn't allergic )

I cooked a corned silverside last night with roast vegies and a mustard sauce.

Evidently pineapple is one of the things he's allergic too, he doesn't care for it, so I did realize he was allergic. I might make it some time anyway, and bake some chicken for him.
