Guess what I'm having for dinner tomorrow night!  This looks so delicious and so easy!

Quesadilla

Today was a day of making up stuff that I've had before but never looked for a recipe for.  For lunch we had quesadillas.  We have no bread or anything much in the house, so I went looking through the freezer and found some tortillas/burritos.  Also found some pizza sauce.  And there was mozzarella in the fridge.  So I added some ground cumin, some chilli, cinnamon, and dry coriander to the sauce.  In the bench-top oven for a while, yum yum yum!

My own satay

I am so stoked!  I made the best satay sauce ever tonight.

1T honey

1T smooth peanut butter

1T chunky peanut butter (100%Nutz)

Squeeze of soy sauce

1t tumeric

2t cumin seeds

Some chilli

Little water to make it into a sauce

Then I just slathered it all over some chicken, popped them in the frying pan, then added some coconut milk to the left over sauce and poured it into the pan with the chicken once it had browned on both sides, added some carrots and broccoli and covered it.  Then after a while we added some coconut milk because it was getting dry.  It was YUM.  YUM YUM yum, and even Mum liked it.  :-)

Smitten Kitchen

I refound this site while organising the links that have been piling up on my bookmarks toolbar.  And right away I signed up for the RSS (I've only just downloaded an RSS reader, which started this bookmark clearing exercise) because the recipes and the site look lovely.  First thing I found that I really want to try is Grape Focaccia with Roemary, but we don't have any grapes at the moment.  Hopefully next weekend!

Cook Yourself Thin

I've been watching this show on and off this year.  The only reason for the 'off' is because of the stupid time and day it's on - not at prime time (like the repeats of the Simpsons and Fresh Prince and Friends... etc etc) and not during the week.  So I decided to go have a look at the website.  It has all sorts of yummy recipes, but more importantly, it has a lot of ideas for how to replace certain ingredients with other, healthier, calorie-reduced ingredients to make food that is yummier because you know it's better for you.  The first recipes I'm planning on trying are Red Velvet Cupcakes and Sweet and Sour Pork Chops.
