Dinner/4 recipes

These are a daycare standard

This is loosely based on a Turkish dish I recently learned how to make. It's tomatoy aubergines with rice.

A quick and tasty weeknight dinner. Sole with a quick pan mushroom sauce.

Quick, easy and delicious. The creamy potato salad was a great side dish to serve with dilly salmon, and we had all the goodness our bodies needed as well. A perfect dinner on a busy weekday.

Delicious pork chops are seared in a hot skillet, sugar snap peas are cooked in a flavorful broth, which makes this one-skillet meal that's quick, easy to prepare and perfect for a week day dinner.

Pumpkin Chess Pie recipe

This was my grandmother's recipe and it is to die for. It's a twist on the traditional Pickled Cucumber...nom nom =)

A very simple recipe for a classic, which helps you to get warm in the winter (ok, I mean when it is getting 4° Celsius in the night in Southern California). The number of servings is accurate when you have it as a meal - as a starter it should serve way more people. I did not list any spices, as I usually have self made chicken broth which is already pretty tasty and spicy, sweetness comes from the onions and the white wine balances it. For bread and cheese - don't think about any fancy, old dry bread is good and any cheese which melts. The onions are king when it comes to taste. Ovenproof crock bowls are very nice for final preparation and serving the soup.

Slow cookers are so great for those times when you want a fuss-free dinner, you can literally throw everything in it and leave it all day so you have a lovely wholesome meal waiting for you at tea time. We left this stew in the slow cooker for 8 hours on a low heat but if you want it ready bit sooner than that you can turn the heat up to medium and it should be ready in about 4 hours. Hope you like it

This choco-avocado mousse is rich, smooth and delicious, the perfect after dinner and guilt-free treat. The blend of healthy ingredients leaves you satiated and nourished, without the worry of putting on any weight. Don’t worry about being able to taste the avocado, because when you blend it with the other ingredients, it actually enhances the creamy texture without leaving a prominent avocado flavour. It’s not exactly the same as a classic mousse, but it’s not far off and it’s much healthier.

These easy to make, no-bake truffle treats are so delicious and full of nutrition. They make the perfect after dinner sweet treat, and the best part about this recipe is they keep in the freezer so you can just take them out as and when you need them. We love the combination of bananas and almonds, we discovered it recently while making my new ice-cream recipe, so this sweet snack has soon become a new favourite of ours. The ingredients in this recipe are all wholesome and all have anti-aging benefits, so if you’re looking to turn back the clock this is a fail safe as it’s full of magnesium (nuts, seeds and banana) probiotics (cacao) and polyphenols (cacao). If you find it difficult to blend the dates in your food processor a good tip is to soak them in hot water for a few minutes first which should soften them.

There is nothing like a well-cooked juicy roast chicken! A couple of ingredients with a no-fuss preparation makes chicken roast the perfect meal to cook when you have unexpected guests over or just want to enjoy a simple dinner after a long day. It’s hard to wrong with super easy, quick & highly loved recipe. Rub the chicken with few flavoursome ingredients, plop it in the oven and voila, a super juicy, crispy-skinned and tender-fleshed roast chicken is ready in to be devoured!

A healthy and decadent pumpkin pie that tastes amazing with a fruit topping or cool whip.

Creamy avocados, juicy-sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, meaty chickpeas and salty olives are on top of a bed of lettuce or any your favorite greens. Drizzle some freshly homemade vinaigrette and serve with a few slices of good bread.

Who doesn't like grilled cheese? Probably nobody, as far as I know everybody I know absolutely loves it. Quick, easy and delicious. Made this Mexican pizza grilled cheese for lunch, and needless to say, I was totally happy and satisfied. Here the recipe is.
