This has to be one of my favourite childhood memories. Peanut sauce on rice, salad, chicken or beef Satay.
Yum, reminds me of summer.
Sweet Chilli Sauce
Why would you make Sweet Chilli Sauce instead of buying in the supermarket?
Remember to always read the labels on back of processed food. Most processed food are high in processed sugar, bad fats, preservatives, food colouring and more.
This sauce can be made as hot and spicy as you like. I grow my chillies and freeze them whole.
Pickled Vegetables
Vegetable Relish
Its Autumn here now and I have a lot vegetables left from our Summer season. I find this is the best
way to use them up. This relish will last up to a year, but I will definitely finish it in 6 months.
To be eaten with cheese and crackers or in sandwiches with cold meat or cheese.
It is not just the vegetables that are healthy, the spices are loaded of nutrients.

Quick and Easy Pizza Base - GF
No Gluten but plenty of protein. These bases are best crispy and thin. Because you are cooking your bases first, you will need to cook your toppings - meat and vegetables.
I like to use beetroot, courgette slices, asparagus, red onion, spinach and sometimes chicken.
Spread pesto or tomato sauce on the cooked bases, then top with your toppings, lastly add the cheese and herbs, if you are using them.
Seeds with Spice
Its nice to add a bit of a crunch to a salad. This recipe can be changed to your liking. You may want more herbs, chilli or salt. Once you have mixed your herbs and spices, taste it. That is the time to make changes.
You could also use it on top of lasagne, casseroles, fish, chicken, the list has no ending. I loved it on my avocado today.

Chocolate and Peppermint Cookies - GF
I have to confess these are not sugar-free. But they are a lovely treat. They are very much like a shortbread. They melt in your mouth. I keep the roll, raw in my freezer for when guests are about to arrive, thaw slightly (just enough to be able to slice) and then slice and bake. Mine never look perfectly round or the exact same shape, but that's how I work ( differently not a perfectionist)
Let's say '' they look ''Home Made ''

Lentil Moussaka
I have no other words to say but YUM YUM. This is the second time I have made this, this week. I changed it slightly, adding red wine to it. I know to some of you out there, you may say Moussaka is only made with Lamb mince and you are right, but sometimes we can break a few rules. To be honest I prefer it with Lentils. We have really learnd to love lentils. Our house hold, now eat meat only in the weekends (ok, we even break that sometimes) which then challenges me to come up with meals loaded with flavour and nutrition.
