Well, it was actually partly dinner last night!

It is the first time, ever, that I've made a quiche from scratch and considering the recipe told me to 'pat' the pastry, it came out excellently!






I was thinking that we could have another recipe thread - I think the other one was lost in the crash - but i'll take a look!


What things have you made that you were proud of?

mmmmm! Food
That looks really nice.

I left home just over 2 years ago and really didn't have to cook until then. I have started to make things from scratch slowly and have found that I enjoy cooking!

I am told that I make a mean veggie pasta bake!

I am either making Buffalo Stew (if I have time to pop to the shops!) or Buffalo Sausages with herb mash and veg!

The dressing is olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil! I like to keep it quite simple and refreshing!

Ok... I shall give you my veggie pasta bake thingy. It's pretty easy and standard really - remember with this kind of dish you can put almost anything in it. I also make a large dish and freeze some as well so that when I get home from work I can just zap it in the microwave.

1) chop onions, mushrooms, garlic - fry in saucepan until lightly browned
2) add about 5 large chopped up baking tomatoes and about a cupful of water (or you can use a tin of ready chopped toms if easier)
3) add veggies - I normally use about a cupfull of frozen veggies of any mix
4) add some herbs - any type you like
5) stir slowly and allow to simmer for about 30 mins
6) whilst sauce is simmering, boil up some pasta (any type you like)
7) once ready, pour pasta into a suitable baking dish
8) poor veggie mix on top
9) sprinkle with a nice amount of grated cheese
10) sprinkle herbs (if you want to) on top of grated cheese
11) oven cook for about 30-45 mins

When done, you can eat on it's own or with salad or something... oh and a glass or bottle of wine!

That's what I like cooking anyway!

Gillian, that sounds gorgeous! I will certainly print that out and give it a go! I also love things that you can save and eat another day!
