Salad and Soup
Can't get enough of this salad! It's so easy to make and feels healthy.
Soften the potatoes and squash first.
All done! Yay!
The barley mix is chewy and almost crunchy the first day.

Tortellini, no sauce pasta
This omelette was almost okay! Tips to self: use butter (lots of it!), wait till butter gets foamy. I had my pre cut, pre washed fruit from yesterday with some yoghurt.
I had some of the soup I made yesterday. Then I left it on the counter to cool. Today, I had a boil and put the rest in the container in the freezer to have after my trip to Paris. I have too much food in the fridge right now!
I used the rest of the spinach ricotta tortellini from the bag. I lightly cooked some mushrooms, chicken and red pepper and mixed it all together with parmesan on top.
Omelette still fail!
I rushed folding the omelette again and I had to fold it in three parts.
Sautéed mushrooms, tomatos and onions.
I boiled some sweetcorn, then I put in chicken, carrots, potatoes, onions and barley broth mix.
When the chicken was ready, I took off the meat off the thighs and put the bones back into the soup.
Prewashed raspberries and strawberries so it's easier for me to eat tomorrow!

Big Cooking Day
I only had class from 9-12 today so I decided to make a couple of dishes to last me until the weekend. First, I stir fried some of the vegetables I had in my fridge: broccoli, red pepper, onion, carrots. I mixed in some of the sweet tomato chilli sauce leftover from cooking with Heather when I first moved into Kelvinhaugh.
I start off with green onion and garlic, and then I added the rice with a little bit of water.
All nice and brown from a little bit of soy sauce! I added some ketchup. Western style fried rice.
Vegetables are thrown back into the pan. I had a quick plate of fried rice and then it was back to more cooking!
Leftovers!
Prep for the soup in my little slow cooker. Boiling water and everything in at the same time and just let it sit! I soaked the barley mixture for a bit, but not that long since it will spend a lot of time simmering.
Fresh herbs (milk and butter) make everything taste so much better. With the meat, I put in carrots, onions, and LOTS of mushrooms but you can't see because I cut most of it super fine.
I popped it into the oven and put it under the grill for the last bit to get the peaks browned. All done and in the fridge for tomorrow!
Everything's ready in the slow cooker! I saved some leftover rice to put in with my soup.
Chicken broth!
Gritney's Meatballs
Breakfast!
Rachel came over and we made meatballs from pork sausages.
Chives and basil from my garden (my two potted plants). The usual recipe is with a can of tomatoes but I have so many fresh ones that we decided to go from scratch. This kind wasn't as juicy so we had to add a little water to make it more soupy. I would like to tweak the recipe some how and make the soup more saucy and thick.
Cook the meatballs first!
At first, we just cut up the baguette, but it was too soft. I popped some in the oven with a bit of olive oil and then it was perfect!
YUM! Fresh veggies, meatballs, cheese and crusty bread. Such an easy recipe. You can put as much or as little effort into it as you want. The pork sausages have so much flavour that you don't really need to add seasoning. We made four portions and ate it all between the two of us!
Tollhouse recipe for chocolate chip cookies! My new oven is very small so the cooking time is much faster than called for in recipes. These cookies came out the best when the cooking time was 8 1/2 minutes. Soft and chewy! I put them in a box the next day and they're just as good.
