Last week in our kitchen



We had lots of fun making apple pie and decorating it with our new alphabet letters.



We enjoyed a simple roast chicken for dinner - midweek. Served with roast vegetables, steamed greens and gravy.



We tried a few new 'chicken nugget' recipes. Served with lemon roasted potatoes, tzatziki, garlic yoghurt sauce and always, a salad.



We cooked chickpea and feta fritters and greek zucchini fritters. Served with a herbs salad, tomato and olive salad and leftover tzatziki and garlic yoghurt sauce





During the coldest week we have had, Spunky Monkey decided to make fruit iceblocks before school one day. This is how I found him in the kitchen. We were out of yoghurt, so he had decided to use milk instead.



They were well received that afternoon after school - despite the chilly temperatures.



We boiled some fresh peanuts that we had been given by a friend. Go here to see how I cooked them, or to learn more about boiled peanuts. Apparently they are not to everyone's taste!?



My husband cooked me this breakfast on Sunday morning. Poached eggs, garden spinach, roasted mushrooms and feta on rye. And my all important, Sunday morning, strong black coffee.





We had fun making homemade pizzas with some leftovers



We made pancakes for breakfast on Saturday.

What have you and your family been cooking this week?

Pizza - Bellissimo!



Inspired by this great book I got from the library last week, we made pizzas tonight. And I tell you they were good!



Spunky Monkey's sauce base of choice was Tomato Ketchup. Hmmm. Notice his very unique design - a little man with crazy hair, he is upside down in this picture. But you see it, right?



Ta da! See, a man with crazy hair, pineapple eyes and a ham smile. It took a bit to convince Spunky Monkey that he did, in fact, need a bit more topping on his pizza.



Okay, the other ingredients have been added. Ham, pineapple and mozzarella. But wait, we need more ketchup! I did not taste this one.



Pizza Verde, the recipe for this one was taken from the book and it was yummo!

We also made a kind of 'what's in the fridge' pizza. Tomato base, marinated mushrooms, roasted peppers, kalamata olives, capers, mozzarella and basil. It was pretty darn good too.
