Mid Week Lunch

I have heaps to do....

Uni assignment due Friday

Study for upcoming exams

Go to work

Be the mum of the house with Mother Jewel is away

(aka clean cook wash!)

Usually you would start at the top of the list

And work your way through what is needing to be done...

So naturally what do I do?

Fluff around in the kitchen & 

Make a delicious & nutritious lunch!

Sweet potato crisps with Moroccan seasoned ricotta

Cherry tomarto & Bean sprout medaly salad

These crisps are so yummy

And actually not that bad for you either....

Sweet Potato Crisps

 Sweet Potato, peeled

Salt

Oil Spray

Once the sweet potatoes are peeled, discard the skin & continue to 'peel' the remaining flesh- so you should get thin strips of sweet potato. Spray a baking tray with some oil, spread the strips on the tray & sprinkle with some salt. Pop in a moderate (180 degree) oven for about 20 mins or until crisp.

Serve straight from the oven with an extra sprinkle of salt....Yum!

Idea: If you feel like being a bit tricky, sprinkle on some dried herbs or spices before you pop the strips into the oven.

My Beautiful Terrine

I've always wanted to have a go at making a terrine..

And my opportunity to have a go came along with 

the new food magazine SBS has put out- Feast!

A delightful Chicken & Cashew Terrine.

(the recipe from the mag was pistachio but I

forgot to get some-woops)

I totally recommend this recipe

And the magazine mind you

Both are just fabulous!

Pink Rainbow Cake

I spotted this darling little cake

when idling through cooking blogs on the web.

It was just so adorable I had to have a go...

It just so coincided my dear friend was celebrating her birthday

So a great excuse to bake it!

There was a bit of excitement in the room

(after the candles had been blown out)

To see 'if' the pink layers had actually worked!

I must say there was a big sigh of relief on my behalf to 

see the pretty tones of pink in the cake

And with the delicious taste...

Happy Days :)

Happy Birthday Lisa!
