QUICHEs

I whipped up these yummy little QUICHES the other day
And the boys just loved them.
I chucked in a bit of ham onion capsicum and cheese with the eggs and milk mixed it up.
I lined the muffin tray with pastry and filled them nearly to the top then cooked for 10 min was quick and simple.

A whole lot of goodness here

Here's some of the things Ive been doing in the last 2 weeks.
First off.
Tomato sauce.
 A friend of mine let me borrow a cookery book by Edmond's that is where i found a tomato sauce recipes that was my inspiration.
But i used THIS ONE god knows Y has it took an extra 3 hrs to make LOL well worth it though
its awesome for a first try at making tomato sauce.
 Second this one was for the FIL (pop)
Lemon meringue pie One of his fav's.

 This is one of those that i make off the top of my head no measuring just how much i think of everything and it all was turns out perfect.

Favorite Veg

You know when i was little i HATED beans.
I don't blame the kids for not liking them
as i said i hated them.
But funny enough they are now one of my Favorite veg's.
I fried these with some button mushrooms a little butter and some chives + salt and pepper to taste.
 I served my veg with some homemade honey and mustard chicken.
The sauce is so simple i added wholegrain mustard honey and cream to my fried chicken and waited till it thickened up i added a teaspoon of corn flower as well so simple.
YUMMO.
