Hearty Breakfast

With the drinking episodes I have had since Wednesday (new job soon woohooo) i decided to make a delicious breakfast and enjoy my Sunday (ok I have to clean this messy flat and get off the Internet but anyway).

I decided on making a chorizo, toamto, egg concoction in my pan.

In this order I popped in my pan chopped onion, sliced chorizo, garlic, canned tomato, oregano, smoked praprika then let it cook for 15 minutes so the sauce became thick and rich. I then took the pan off the heat and cracked 4 organic eggs in each section of the pan and returned to the heat. When the whites became slightly opaque I covered with a lid. When cooked through i grated some parmesan and put a couple of droped of tobasco on each yolk... YUMMMMM

Served it up with some rocket which i coated in mustard seed oil and red wine vinegar and mixed grain bread (it was all i had).

So good ive had 2 serves and might have more right now

Good bye!

refreshing end

After eating all the absolute crap i had on the weekend i felt fat, heavy and annoyed. While I wanted to head out I also had no energy to do anything, still nothing in the fridge...i need pay day so badly!

So I decided on some chicken thigh fillets that i had in the freezer and decided to make a rice noodle salad.

I can honestly I felt so good after, although i didnt have alot of ingrediants it turned out so well even Eddie when for thirds!

I made a HUGE bowl of it! Chicken marinated in soy, garlic and abit of peanut oil, some lettuce, carrot, mushroom, peanuts and bean sprouts and of course the rice noodles

Covered in my mums fish sauce yum

Ahh i feel much better

Whats left in the cupboards??

Being on Holidays (going back to work on Monday BOOOO) has left the kitchen cupoboards absolutely bare and due to this and the fact we have been eating out so much....no money!

So what can I make? its Thursday night and im tired.... it was pretty hard to decide considering we have nothing but i was able with find ingrediants for a pasta sauce with met and 4 beans.

In the end it was pretty tasty, i used passata, crushed tomatos, tomato paste, beef mince, 4 bean mix (too much liquid so needed more ingredients), garlic, onion and carrots parmesan cheese and mozzerella. It worked out pretty well and I had some garlic bread we got on special and i grated some parmesance cheese on it....delicious and filling.

Mix it up BABY!!

Late Night Sustenance

After the massive lunch I had and while i was not very hungry i thought it was important we ate dinner so not to bascially starve during the night. With spare mince and not wanting to eat anything to heavy i decided on beef and lamb rissoles with salad.

Reading through Food.Fashion.Ferrets one of my favs I noticed one recipe that caught my attention a while back and got me craving exactly that, rissoles, made normally but with Fetta! So with that in mind i went and bought some Bulgarian fetta (my favourite) and went on to make the rissoles.


I used alittle bit of Lamb and beef mince (a ratio of 2:1). and threw in everything i had onion, garlic, oregono, rosemary, parsely, egg, grated carrot and the not so secret ingredient...FETTA!
It really did make the dish it, you could taste the fetta but it wasnt over powering and added the salt that was needed, i was very satisfied and because i amd so much I can have some today for lunch yey.



ready to be made into rissoles mmm

I topped it with some garlic mushrooms but was too excited and took a bite before even contemplating an image and 2 secons later it was gone....
