Drop scones
There are so many different kinds of scones! These I had never seen before till I had breakfast with my mother in law, check them out…
Month: December 2011
Pineapple, cinnamon and grapes
I made this with Mel the day before we left to go upcountry for Christmas. We had dinner at her place. I had a peeled pineapple in my fridge that I hadn’t planned to take with me but couldn’t leave behind because it would spoil, so I took it to her place for dessert.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Tuesday dinner 3: Tomato and mozzarella salad
If you like cheese, you will love this! I have had this countless times in restaurants. It was about time I made it it at home…
Tuesday dinner 2: Potato salad and comfrey
Have you ever mixed in different roots for your potato salad? Try it, it’s very nice, especially with sweet poatatoes.
Tuesday dinner 1: Carrot, zucchini and sultana nut cake!
Carrot what?!!
I know, I know! Sounds crazy. But it’s an experiment, so it has to sound crazy (^_^)
Rocky raisin almond cookies!
This is the name my husband gave them. I would have just called them rocks! Ha!
Rolex for breakfast
Have you ever tried a rolex? It’s such a brilliant idea, check it out…
Chapos and lamb stew
Getting better at making the chapatis now, thought I’d experiment a little bit…
Oatmeal raisin cookies
This is the first time I’m making cookies since I was in high school! There’s a recipe my mother has that was super easy (no, this is not that one), I would prepare the dough and store it in the fridge, then roll it out in portions every morning to make a fresh batch for snacktime for me and my siblings. But that was a long time ago…
Cake for the Maasai Morans
I was so glad when he asked me to bake the cake. He could have just bought one somewhere, but he asked me to make one.
The case of bad cheese
Yes, I bought some bad cheese, but even worse is when it goes bad in your own fridge. Thankfully, my mother showed me how to keep that from happening…
Tagliatelle and meatballs
Leftovers are great! And they often taste better too.
Meatball sandwich
The first time I had a meatball sandwich was in 2003! Yes, I remember, because it was that good. To this day I remember the taste. Here is my go at it…
Spicy tea / chai
This tea, on a cold day, with a blanket on your favourite spot on the sofa \(^_^)/
Egg safety
Just a quick note. I’ve seen my mother do this and I’ve heard chefs recommend it.
Lasagna — nearly a disaster!
Form that photo you can probably guess what happened. Not the results you hope for when you’re hosting guests but in the end we all had a good chuckle.
Cake sandwich with chocolate icing!
There’s nothing like a celebration to inspire creativity…
Lemon pepper chicken with rice and spinach
Oven cooking is great if you want to have a relaxing evening. Only thing is depending on what you’re making, you may have to plan ahead a little bit. It’s always worth it though…
