    #3 - Lime Cumin Clove Rice 4 days ago

    Cook white basmati rice, and about halfway through throw in some whole cloves. Cook without a lid, stirring every now and then. A couple minutes before it’s finished add some whole cumin seed. Drain the rice when it’s soft enough, and then drizzle some lime juice over it, stirring, adding a bit more, stirring, etc to taste.



    #2 - Glazed yams 4 days ago

    I had to make something for a potluck supper, and I wanted to try something new, so I found a recipe for glazed yams. I baked them like baked potatoes in the oven first until they were a little soft, then cut them into smaller pieces and stuck them in a glass pan. I made a simple glaze using butter, brown sugar, and a secret ingredient on the stove, then poured a little on top to start, and then flipped them all around and added more glaze every 10 to 15 minutes until they were done. It took a while to cook them (something like an hour and a half in total) but they turned out really good! And to think I used to hate yams!



    #1 - Borshch 4 days ago

    I taught myself how to make borshch by looking through tons of recipes and what I remembered of the borshch my mom used to make. I’ve made it twice so far and it’s sooooo good!

    Burgers? 4 weeks ago

    So tomorrow I’m making homemade burgers and potato wedges. I’m not sure whether that counts as an ‘excellent’ meal. Any opinions?
    Also, does stir fry count because I’m pretty good at those. Having one for tea actually!

    The stew. 4 weeks ago

    Went quite well. Bit too spicey for my liking so I think I might leave the some of the spices out next time. But I think this could definitely be one of my ten recipes. :)

    Back on the wagon. 4 weeks ago

    Okay, so not been doing too well with this (I never did make that soup!) but today my mum is making a pork and bean stew which I like so I think I’ll have a bash at that and hopefully it should be a success.

    Couscous salad 1 month ago

    This isn’t a new recipe, but it’s one I haven’t tried for a long time. It is couscous chilled with tomato, onion, feta cheese,garbanzo beans, olive oil and lemon juice. So yummy. I made it on Memorial Day for my family, and today for me! It’s from my old vegetarian days.

    Maybe not 'excellent' but definitely worth learning 1 month ago

    I’m going to do pancakes hopefully today for tea.
    I’ve never made the batter you see, how lame. :)
    I plan to write it down and everything.

    Then my next challenge is French Onion Soup.
