What are you been cooking today

[K Atie]

I too reduce the sugar in most recipes. Never put sugar in stewed fruit . Was thinking sausage rolls , might do the veggie  ones . Holding back on them as donot want to use all my frozen pastry . Savoury muffins would be good but DS is a bit fussy , he is not that lean on them .
Hope to have a good day of cooking and jobs .

DH requested a meat loaf for dinner so  have made that and used the left over mixture to make sausage rolls.
Made Cornflake Cookies yesterday, miss  read the recipe and put in 2 eggs instead of 2 tablespoon milk.  They turned out ok and no one has complained.

Nothing cooking down here today ... I am just plotting and planning a weekend of cooking stews and hearty soups. I am feeling the cold today so am just in the mood to eat either one ... or both - and I have neither in my freezer so I will continue to fantasise for the rest of the week!

Oh Marina, but what will you eat ?
I am itching to make some home made pasta.  Haven’t made any since shifting to Invermay.
Also the Medlars are ready to pick to make jam.  They have to sit for a couple if weeks.

Chookie what are medlars please? I know I should google it.

DH requested a savoury biscuit. DD had saved a recipe from some where or o;ther that were cheese and rosemary twists. they are in the oven now.


These are delicious. They are quite puffy when you eat them. Next time I will add a bit of cayenne.

Cookie, Medlars are a type of Apple.  They think the modern apples developed from them.  You pick them and then let them go soft.  I don’t do this. I put them in the TMX with a bit of water and smash them up.  I then cook them and put them through the jelly bag.  They make a lovely apple type jam/ jelly.
Making pea and ham soup.

Love the look of your pizza for GD Chookie.
Today I picked up some F & V to last me through Easter so to keep myself busy I prepared them for freezer stocks.
Zucchini & Carrot stir fry became timbales

A whole butternut pumpkin roasted and frozen in meal size portions and a bag of tomatoes became roasted passata for a zucchini lasagne I’ll be making tomorrow.

Superb cooking everyone. I’m loving all your wonder photos.

Judy, time well spent.
The vegetarian pizza for GD was made in a different way.  I usually cook pizzas in the electric pizza machine.  This one was cooked in a cast iron dish in the oven. Because the base didn’t brown, I then put it, in dish over the gas.  She loved it.
I also made white bread sticks but used a commercial packet of yeast and improver. It gave a dense texture that I didn’t really like. Could be that the instructions said one rise and I did two.
I also made Pea and Ham soup.  I always add a handful of oatmeal.
