Afternoon treats for me! Raw Chocolate Coconut Bites inspired from here.
Spaghetti Bolognaise made with organic beef mince and loads of Rob's homegrown garlic and our fresh garden herbs. Organic pasta for the boys and organic zucchini noodles for us.
Free range chicken wings with garlic and oregano and thyme and drizzled in Australian Olive Oil. Coleslaw with a tasty garlicy sunflower seed sauce.
We had a cold spell so I made the gang Coconut Curry Chicken and Vegetable Pie. Mostly organic from the pastry flour to simple vegetables. The sauce is made with a cup of homemade chicken stock, a small can of ayam coconut milk and some natural arrowroot powder to thicken up and pepper for taste. Wholesome and comforting family food.
Vegan Mexican Bowl with brown organic rice. Red kidney beans sauteed with onions, paprika, cumin, garlic and fresh oregano. I have started to prioritise "clean eating" foods after my ambulance trip to the hospital. The delicious vegan tofu coriander dressing really accentuates this dish.
Chickpea, Spinach and Pumpkin Curry with organic rice for the whole family. Similar recipe to this one.
My mum came to stay after my surgery to cook and look after the children. She prepared all this food the night before a 7 hour bus and train trip from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains. Stashed in her suite case: Babaganoush, Tabouli, Serbian Cheese and Spinach Pie, a ball of Lebanese Shanglesh, A big piece of Prosciutto from Fairfield, Lebanese Bread, and four Lemons cross lime cross grapefruit from her tree. Her description not mine. Dinner was sorted the first night! Oh, and she carried a big curry plant on her journey too!
The next night, Bubba Masa (my mum) made traditional schnitzels served with Rob's delicious wild fermented saurekraut.
The day after she made traditional Serbian Cheese and Spinach Pie, also known as Burek, before anyone woke up!
What have you been cooking folks? Or like me, is someone else cooking and giving you a bit of a break.

My goodness me,Zena...so much yummy food there. You must love it when your mum comes to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt's only once a year but we visit her a few times a year and she prepares a variety of delicious food as she lives in Sydney and has so much diverse ingredients at her finger tips.
DeleteSo much deliciousness in this post Zena! Your mum sounds like an amazing cook and that Burek looks simply DIVINE!!! My days would not be complete without baking/cooking, it's like therapy, I love it... xxx
ReplyDeleteMy mum has been making Burek since a child and is so talented at the pastry making. Baking and cooking can be such a creative outlet and you have something delicious to eat at the end of it.
DeleteOh dear goodness! All of this yummy food! What I would give to taste-test it all!
ReplyDeleteI love slow cooking. I'm glad my mum came to take over when I was down and out. My husband cooks too. We are all good cooks but cook differently.
DeleteSorry to hear you have not been well. Your Mum is a gem and I had a giggle at all the foods she carried with her. Your meals are wonderful. How could anyone not be a picture of health whilst eating such pure and clean foods? You are in good hands. :)
ReplyDeleteIt makes a difference! The food in the hospital was inedible. Hopefully one day someone will come up with a good business plan to contract delicious nourishing casseroles and soups to hospitals.
DeleteI totally agree that the food offerings in hospitals should not even be called 'food'. I can't eat any of it and need to bring my own food in. I cannot understand why they cant just offer basic wholesome foods without cooking the goodness out of them. Why do they need to use unhealthy sauces and additives in everything? Hospital is the best place to go downhill fast. There is a celebrity chef (who's name escapes me) who was talking about tackling this problem like Jamie Oliver was tackling school lunches. I haven't heard any more of it so I'm worried the campaign may have hit a roadblock.
DeleteWow...So yummy. My kind of food!!!
ReplyDeleteHooly dooly!!!! Your kitchen is THE MOST delicious place to be. It all looks so yummy. Any chance you would be willing to share that coconut curry chicken and veg pie recipe? Oh, and the chicken wings, and the garlicy sunflower seed sauce, and your Mum's dishes...! That's it! I need to stop looking at these pictures. I hope the challenging journey with your health is starting to improve and that you're finding some answers which feel right for you. Sending you lots of love xoxo
