Sweet and savoury coconut rice

text

So earlier this year hubby treated us to some take out for dinner. One of the sides he brought was coconut rice. I have never tasted coconut rice that good before. It was sweet, packed with a burst of savoury flavour and creamy all at the same time. It was so good I’ve actually thought about it regularly since I had it, specifically how to recreate it in my own kitchen. So here it is, have a look…

Lamb and veggie roast

If you haven’t fired up your oven for a while, here are two very good reasons to!

Buttery carrot side

I find that the simplest and best recipes I learn of every now and then always come from the people around me. This one is an awesome side that I recently learned how to make from a dear friend. Enjoy!

Spaghetti and leftovers

What do you do when it’s 8pm, you’ve just walked in the house and hubby is so hungry he can’t wait 2 hours for you to make a fresh meal? Hopefully, you’ll have some leftovers you can just refresh (^_^)

Mixed vegetable soup with home made bread

Vegetable soup is one of the easiest things to make. All you need is a mix of vegetables and a good stock (could be a meat stock or a vegetable stock). Which vegetables is really up to you, just pick your favourites, or just work with what you have. Here’s how I put one together with what I had…

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 (^_^)

Rice with mixed veggies

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 (^_^)

Matoke and ribbon veggies

You can’t go wrong with matoke but these ribbon veggies added something special. They look good and taste so delicious!
