Well I am down to no sleeps! My holidays are here and so too are lazy pj days, lunching out, sunny walks with my boys and most importantly gourmet meals every night that we are at home!
So I set myself a challenge to cook something new every night that we are home while I am on holidays. The rules are pretty simple. The meal must be something we have never cooked at home before and just in case I have a craving for a good old 'safe' meal I have added the rule that if I dont have a new dish for our evening meal I have to make a new dessert or some sort of baked goody for Ryno's smoko.
Achievable I reckon so now I have pulled out my recipe folder and have started flicking through my cut outs, print outs, photo copies etc and am salivating just thinking about the week ahead. I have a beautiful Cath Kidston recipe folder that was a pressie from my Mum. It is fab and so user friendly. It has pockets for all your recipes and they are catergorised too. Plus a huge section for shopping lists and hand written recipes. It is perfect for me as when it comes to recipe collecting I am definitely a hoarder. There are recipes from over 12 years ago in there that are sooooo involved and probably completely out of my depth but you never know what I might do on a rainy day!
I am kicking off the challenge with a family dish; 'Layer Casserole' from my CWA cookbook. It sounds easy but yummy too. The other reason for choosing this is the fact that our fridge almost resembles Old Mother Hubbards cupboard and I really dont feel up to a trip to Woolys today! Mince, vegies and rice are all it requires and they are staples in my house.
Hope you are having a happy start to your week and if you are lucky enough to be starting annual leave like me Happy Holidays !
