Home-made: Skinny Sloppy Joe with multigrain seed bread and roasted veggies in curry powder


Sunday Dinner + Movie at Home!
Skinny Sloppy Joe (extra lean beef mince, fortified with several types of beans, peppers and corn) served with toasted multigrain seed bread and garlic bread - very inauthentic... Accompanied by oven roasted vegetables dusted in curry powder and a rather nice dark beer (from Ikea)!

Home-made Bento: Cold Chicken Pasta Salad


Really easy to put together - poach skinless chicken breast in simmering water (flavoured with your choice of herbs and spices) and when almost done, dump in carrots and a head of broccoli to steam till just tender (and mostly still crunchy).
Remove everything from the cooking liquid (now a tasty stock) and chop.
Next, cook wholegrain pasta in the stock you made earlier.
When cool, toss everything together, along with corn kernels, kidney beans, Greek yoghurt, herbs, a few spoonfuls of chicken stock and lots of parsley!
DONE. chill and enjoy!

Home-made: Blueberry & Apple-date Muffins


It's way too hot to be baking in the kitchen today! But I really want some freshly made wholemeal muffins... turned out a batch each of spiced apple-date muffins and blueberry oatmeal muffins. Should have cut the apple into bigger pieces!
