The road has come to an end...

Sad as this may be, I have decided to end this blog for a very good reason.  I am going to write my own cookbook and publish the journey at:  http://foodforthepocket.blogspot.com/

I still, and always will love Nigella, and she will be with my on this journey...

So please feel free to follow my new blog and learn through this adventure...:)

Bye...

What to do with left overs...

If you think the way I do, you would also feel that throwing leftovers away is such a sin!  Well, I had some leftovers in the fridge last night (some chopped cabbage, carrots, noodles and smoked chicken), so I decided to put all this into a pot, warm it up, and put this all into a tortilla wrap for supper!  It turned out well, just needed some sweet and sour sauce and there you go!

Not too bad for a fridge raid...:)

How To Be a Domestic God

My favorite Nigella book has to be "How To Be a Domestic Goddess".  Not only for all the sweet treats, but for all the valuable advice Nigella passes on to her minions.

I would like to try every recipe in the book, and will be documenting my findings here...:)

Let's get baking!

Spaghetti with tomato and chilli...

Ok, so I am not exactly the spokesperson for spaghetti, or anything Italian for that matter, but I have to say that this new found love of mine, makes me feel utterly Italian!  Spaghetti with tomato and chilli is just spaghetti and sauce really, but add some fire and it becomes something of a marvel.  Nigella would agree totally, and I think if she had to taste this, she would be impressed!

Ingredients:

Half a packet of shop bought spaghetti
Chopped cherry tomatoes (about half a small bag)
One onion
One red chilli, chopped and seeds removed
Tomato sauce (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Boil spaghetti until tender
Mix in chopped cherry tomatoes, onion and chilli
Add some tomato sauce for good measure
Salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy!  :)

Cupcakes for a good cause...

This weekend, Michael and I made some cupcakes for a charity called "Cupcakes for kids with cancer".  I cannot think of a better reason to bake something...:)

Crumbed Chicken and Salad

You know, there are few things in this world as joyous as a simple supper of crumbed chicken and salad.  The fact that the salad is a breeze to make whilst the chicken bakes in the oven, is just a joy in itself.  But the pleasure of eating something so good, but knowing that it is also good for you - is the greatest joy of all.  So, make the salad of your choice, get some chicken breasts, dunk them in some corn flour, then egg, then in bread crumbs, and bake or fry them...

Joy, joy, joy!  :)

Something Simple...

One of the greatest lessons that I have learned from Nigella, is the fact that the simpler something is, the better it is!  I made some simple snackwiches last night...just bread with some ground beef and veggies...so delicious and so simple!

Perfect for lunch the next day too!
