Whats your family fave?

dinners i mean, are you like me and have the same things over and over just because you know its easy and quick and nutricious? for us its chicken stirfries with a different sauce each time, lol i love finding new sauce ideas! at the moment i love cooking the chicken in Masterfoods Thai Seasoning then adding liquid chicken stock when the veggies and noodles go in, yummmm nice and light but tasty too! honey/soy sauce/garlic/sweet chilli sauce/oyster sauce are staples in this house, just to make stirfries easy! another dinner we have often is Spaghetti Bolognaise, from the very easy (jar of dolmio on mince on noodles!) to the more creative (fresh tomatos, grated carrots and other vege, onions, garlic, maybe some beans added - a little more preperation and thought with a bit of cheese and sour cream on the top!) but in a way im kind of sick of having the same things, dont need any thought, just wandering aimlessly to the freezer/fridge/pantry/oven because i know these meals off by heart, and it gets a little boring!

So whats your fave recipe/dinner? can you share? make my life just that little more creative, and maybe a fave in your house can turn into a fave in mine one day too :)

28 weeks today!!! there is something about reaching 28 weeks that i LOVE, i dont know why, its more just a private milestone i think, but its still pretty cool, 12 weeks until my due date. very neat!

lol i had a phone call this morning from a friend, and when i answered she said "wow you nearly sound like YOU again!" so my voice is obviously starting to get better! thought that was pretty cool.

Had to go out yesterday morning and get new tyres on my car, so i wandered around the streets for a bit then popped into the warehouse for a look, then Kaylee and I sat in a cafe, lol Kaylee was very cute, she thought she was so cool with her Gingerbread man sitting up with mummy at the proper table, gabbling away! shes amazing me every day, new sentences, new words, even her actions, a real little girl, no longer a baby, but always MY baby!!!!

i cracked up last night watching "the amazing race" i love that show! but the blonde couple was SO smug at the end when they bet the "hippys" and then Phil said "this is however a non elimination round!" lol TOO funny! GO THE HIPPYS!

just a nice lazy day at home today, tonnes of washing to get through, and no doubt the Playdough will come out, books, blocks, lol lots of fun!

Lol, those hippy guys remind me SO much of Joseph and Arie about 8 years ago!

Hmmm... no great ideas for the dinner thing, I can't even think what we have, lol. There's lots of really good recipes in the HFG!

LOL, didn't you crack up when the hippie with the bare-feet decided to run through the river instead of over the bridge??? He would have beaten the whingey blonde chick if he'd not decided to do a Hollywood.

Mmm, recipes. I'm not much of a cook, and not too creative myself, and I think I've posted all my main recipes already - chicken pasta, home-made pizza, Phil's meatloaf, kumara chips, chicken & pumpkin pie....

Hi Carla,

Do you like Japanese food? Do you have access to it in either your supermarket or an Asian Grocery?

I can share some healthy, yummy recipes if you do...

I find the "Food in a Minute" receipes from both the website and their book brilliant :)
