Adding raisins is an easy way to freshen up an old cake recipe. If you have a recipe that you make often and you just want to change things up a bit, throw in a handful of raisins. I do reccomend soaking them in something ahead of time, even if it’s not alcohol, I might even steam them a little, just so they’re not so dry.
Sausages have been a breakfast favourite ever since I was a child. I don’t remember them being served any other way other than plain pan/deep fried. But it doesn’t have to always be that way, after all it’s meat (yes, with lots of other stuff in it but…) and that makes it good for cooking many other ways.
Try this version next time you have them for breakfast.
It doesn’t really matter how you cook it, you can never go wrong with chicken. I think everyone should have a couple of chicken recipes down. My favourite way to have it is stewed, so nicely that even the marrow is tasty. When I make my favourite chicken stew not even the bones are left intact. But that’s story for another day,…
Not the most exciting dinner on the planet but we’ve all got to eat some veggies! Unfortunately I didn’t think this through, the rice was too dry, I should have done a vegetable recipe with a bit of sauce. But these veggies are still very nice, try them out, just not alone with rice (^_^)
I was feeling a little creative, I have no idea where I pulled this from but it has to be made again. Very tasty!
Now this is more like it! Starting to look like the chunky I had in mind.
Nice and easy flavourful vegetarian dinner. Also very quick to prepare, just because you don’t have time doesn’t mean you have to give up flavour. Definitely one to keep and do again.
You can’t go wrong with matoke but these ribbon veggies added something special. They look good and taste so delicious!
The things love makes us do, even burning breakfast on purpose.
Ready, set, spray!!
The oven is your friend. It can take over dinner while you rest.
Simple healthy breakfast. Can prepare the arrow root ahead of time and just warm them in the morning.
A case for drunken raisins. A little experimenting with some raisins and rum.
Crepes are great for breakfast, filling if you have enough of them. It’s a nice change from the usual bread every once in a while. But they do take a while to make if you have a big family so I would recommend them for a weekend breakfast when you have the time and breakfast is served leisurely.
No fuss fruit salad! Just use what you’ve got, don’t overthink it.
This was a very lazy attempt at chunky, I guess I was not in the mood to cut up a lot of stuff. So, just green peppers and tomatoes.
I don’t know if I’m ever going to bake that much in one go again but he sure did enjoy having a week of cake with his morning tea, and three to pick from at that!
Next time I plan something like this I’ll se sure to start much earlier in the day. It was a lot of work way into the night but well worth it. We shared some with friends and they really enjoyed it.
Omelettes are my favourite food to have for breakfast. Can never go wrong with an omelette, they are tasty on their own but also so easy to flavour and add to. They just lovingly take in all sorts of ingredients and the result is always — wow!
I really like liver. I think it’s one of the tastiest meats around. Goat, sheep, cow — I’m not picky, except for chicken livers, for some reason I just can’t bring myself to eat chicken livers, yet.
In the left corner, we have Aphids, a massive army conducting an invasion with precision! In the left corner, we have Aika, she’s armed with determination, she will have these herbs and eat them too!
Note to self: Just because I’m rowing the herbs doesn’t mean I’m the only one interested in making a meal out of them.
When you’ve got too many fruits ripening at the same time, one of the best way to make use of them so that you don’t have to throw the out is to turn them into juice! Though that was not the case this time, I just wanted some fresh juice (^_^)
I have several recipes for beans because I cook them often, it’s boring if they taste the same every time. I leaned this method from my mother…
I remember watching my mother do this to tomatoes when I was little, though I don’t remember why or what dish it was for. But this is why I do it…
Have to many ripened bananas in the house? Here’s a good way to use them up before you have to throw them out!
Here’s a different way to make french toast in the morning that is sure to brighten up the start of your day.
If you’re a fan of sweet potatoes you will love these wedges. If you don’t care much for sweet potatoes, you will love this wedges! (^_^)
You win some you lose some! Can’t be perfect at everything. My second attempt with the garlic and mint was completely rejected! But I came back strong with this chicken recipe…
A tasty minced beef recipe, delicious with any pasta of your choice.
