What’s cooking

Yesterday, while working very hard outside I decided we needed a quick lunch 
Something simple yet filling. 
So I picked more tomatoes off the vines and got some oregano from the herb garden 

Cooked them up until just soft and added a jar of the roast vegetable purée I made a few weeks ago. 
This is what it looked like. 


Cooked the pasta and stirred through. Added a generous amount of Parmesan cheese and lunch was ready. 
It tasted good. And the left over were eaten today by hubby and wonderson for their lunch. 


Meanwhile today I cooked up some more of the zucchini pickles 
And made a coconut cake, the recipe came up on my newsfeed on Facebook. 
I doubled the recipe and made them in two loaf tins so that should keep the boys happy for a few days at least 


The silverbeet is coming to the end of its long life so I picked the best leaves. 
I also needed to use some eggs as the girls have been busy laying. 
A Greek spinach pie was exactly what Was needed to use them up 

I had a piece with a cup of tea. Delish 


Dinner tonight is chicken and mushrooms. I’ve got it cooking in the oven now 
Hubby got up around midnight to do a few loads in a truck. So he’ll want dinner early 
And he’ll probably be in bed soon after. 



A good day of using up produce to make yummy food for us to enjoy. 
I went to the pool today and did an hour and a half of exercise. 
I think the rest of the afternoon I’ll be working on finishing my socks. 
The burst of energy is now complete.
