I haven’t cooked everything from my list below because just wasn’t feeling them, but I’ve been trying loads of new recipes in the past few months.
One thing I learned to cook is frittata and I make it now weekly (frankly, I don’t know why I hadn’t tried frittatas before). I just put in it whatever is in the fridge – mushrooms, leek, peppers, sweet potato, peas…. the more stuff the better and I top it with buffalo mozarella, mmmm….
Another thing I can’t get enough of is sweetpotatoes. I’ve experimented with different ways of making mash and I make sweet potato chips all the time. Sooo nice and satisfies my sweet tooth as well…
I regularly make a quiche for hubby for lunch, very easy once I realised I can use frozen ready made pastry ;-). I cook a lot of fish and been trying different varieties as well. I got some great ideas from the tv show ‘Caribbean food made easy’ recently, nom nom. Oh, and one of my favourite things – my super healthy burritos. I fill some wheat free pancake wraps (homemade of course!) with black bean chilli, top with buffalo mozarella and voila…
Couple of weeks ago I found a recipe for mixed bean and lentil hotpot. As I was making it, I realised it was very bland, so I put in some fennel seeds and coriander seeds and, omg, it was beautiful. I now make it all the time. Such an easy dish to make and perfect winter food.
I’m starting to feel very confident in the kitchen. I can now actually open the pantry, see what’s in there and whip something up, well, most of the times at least….
