We have had an enormous mixed bag weatherwise this week - sort of from puffa jackets to just sleeping with a sheet !! The hot days have been very tropical with the heat followed by big storms and then more heat. The warmer evenings are something I love dearly with time to potter in and out of the house and the evening light in my living area is something I am so enjoying. Balmy scented evening heat and the slanted rays of the sun going down are the true definition of summer to me and IT officially starts tomorrow !!

Vegie Casserole
I know it looks like a bit of a crumble but it was made with vegetables, no sugar, not sweet. I used cauliflour , pumpkin, shredded ham and grated cheese in it. The recipe called for mayo then to mix it all together, I did use mayonnaise but halved the amount. I had a gourmet chili and coconut mayo in the fridge and stirred in a few spoonfuls. It added the perfect amount of zip. Light rye breadcrumbs then were sprinkled over the top before it went into the oven. Once again, here is a wonderful versatile recipe that can be created with leftover vegetables or fresh ones like mine.

What a Minx, What a Mess !!
Very cute pics - it must have been a set up though !! I can only hope for the sake of the owner that this puppy did not eat too much batter, it could have been very sick !!

A Gorgeous Pasta Dish
This may have cost me $10 and generously fed two. I think it was cafe worthy and goodness only know what it would cost if you ordered it from a menu when out to dinner. I used tortellini, mushrooms, toasted almonds and home grown basil, melded together with a little cheese. Endless variations of nuts and herbs could be used here. I think pistachios and parsley would be great to try !!

Fusion Pizza
We have just eaten dinner, very late after a long car trip in pouring rain. We had a tandoori chicken pizza. I didn't make it, it was take away, it was full of calories and delicious !!

Hot Shoe Shuffle
Here is an ecletic mix - all for sale somewhere. I could be tempted by the giraffes but I would pass on all the others, just not my style !!

From Garden to Plate
My silverbeet is lush and prolific and my basil is amazing too so yesterday I went out armed with my scissors and colander and snipped and snipped. I just love having home produce to cook . I gently wilted them and mixed them into a big pot of rice vermicelli, slivered ham and diced tomatoes. A great dinner was had by all !!
