I am finally sitting down with my feet up after what has been a full-on weekend in the kitchen.
Saturday morning, my husband and I ventured out South to the Otara Markets as I have been told they have a great selection of fresh produce at very affordable prices. We had great fun traveling into what seemed like a completely different country and into a world that seemed so far away, yet only a half hour drive away!
I came home with a back seat full of fresh ingredients and no idea or plan of what to do with it. So I then started getting creative and worked with what I had in front of me.
First on the menu was a Fejioa and Berry Crumble... Then an Oat and Black Current Slice (to take to work for morning tea or to family dinner for dessert)... And as it's ANZAC day I of course had to make Anzac Biscuits, which I took with me to an Afternoon Tea Party I had with friends this afternoon.
To balance out the intense sugar overload I also cooked up in bulk Minestrone Soup for our work lunches. This is a delicious soup which is packed full with fresh veges and pasta to give you lots of energy during the week. This should go down a treat for my husband at his new job...
Oh yes, and let's not forget the fun cooking tutorial I gave my sister on Friday night! Together we made a Thai Chicken Green Curry. My sister made it an entertaining night when she deeply cut her fingers with a sharp knife whilst slicing carrots. I think it might be time we go back to Cooking Lesson 101? How to hold a knife!
It is now finally time for me to actually have something to eat myself and then make my way into bed. I look forward to heading into this working week, knowing I have some delicious treats to keep me going!
Good night.
