Apparently it's Chicken Month in September, among other things. We usually eat a meal with chicken in it once or twice a week. This week we've had Chicken Pot Pies and then used the same chicken mixture to make Chicken Pasties. Other chicken dishes that my family enjoys include Grain Free Chicken Schnitzels with an almond… Continue reading Chicken Month (including a recipe)
To celebrate Valentine's Day (or proposal day as it's called in our house) I turned our basic family meal into a heart shaped meal. Our dinner was rissoles served with potato/sweet potato, carrots & peas. My husband even put his sauce on in a heart shape, as pictured above. I used my rissole recipe but… Continue reading Heart Dinner
There is very little take-away food that my husband can safely eat without having to worry about sulphites, in particular. Â A while ago we did have a Baja Steak bowl from a mexican take-away shop. Â We now make our own version of this at home. My husband BBQ's the steak which we then slice thinly… Continue reading Baja Steak

Â This recipe is adapted from a recipe in the Mothers' & Others' Recipe Book. In the fried rice pictured I have used ham & chopped up twiggy… Continue reading Fried Rice

Â I was thinking some sort of savoury mince but we had eaten a few rice… Continue reading Salsa Mince

I haven't made Chicken Dorothea for years because of the ingredients, including some… Continue reading Tric’s Mince
Last week I managed to make a couple of quiche like slices for my children to try as lunch options.  I made No Green Stuff Veggie Slice which I took to my friends house for lunch with a small group of ladies.  There were a couple of slices left but my children didn't try it.  I also… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 13 February 2017
This post about Individual Leftover Chilli Pies inspired me to make my own Chilli Beef Meat Pies with some leftover Quick Chilli Beef. Â I was planning my dinner menu for the week when I saw the post about making pies with leftover chilli mince. Â As we usually have leftovers but not enough for a full… Continue reading Chilli Beef Meat Pies
It's been a while since I've posted about what I've been cooking but thought I would start this again. Â I'm not sure that I'll do it every week especially as I sometimes end up doing the same things. Anyhow here is what was on the dinner menu last week: Monday - Ham steaks & pineapple… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 6 Feb 2017
I made this recipe last night and was thinking that I should blog about it. Then I saw this blog challenge about Transcript and thought that this is the temporary thing that I can share and reflect upon. As you can see the original recipe is looking old and is torn in half with a little bit… Continue reading Mum R’s Mince & Pasta
