Yummies - links I have found! And a recipe :D
This is what we had for dinner Saturday night:
Mixed together it was a gorgeous Veggie and Quinoa Pilaff from the Slimming World book '50 Free Green Recipes'.
Happy to share the recipe I use (like book with a few adaptations) if requested!
and this evening.....
I was cruising around blogs, avoiding housework - as you do - and came across a couple of luverly recipes that I might just try.
* Firstly this one from Amy @ Everything is Homemade:
http://everythingishomemade.com/2013/03/20/roasted-broccoli-cauliflower-with-tahini-dressing/
we are a massive fan of Quinoa ('kee-nwa') here, see above! And but loved the idea that it was served on it. Broccoli is another firm fave and we use chickpeas in our chilli so I am sure it would be a mahouuuuusive hit!
* another from Amy:
http://everythingishomemade.com/2013/03/18/greek-pitas-with-tzatziki-sauce/
Yum... from a family which lived for 3 years in Cyprus, this cannot fail :D
* Amy again:

In fact just go check out her fab blog! Its got LOADS of yumtastic recipes! And does what it says on the tin ;D Tell her I sent you!

BREAD!!
We LOVE bread and never buy
shop made anymore and as I have a Kenwood (a birthday/Christmas present a couple
of years ago!) this makes it sooooooo much easier to do!
Our staple bread is:
500g Strong White Bread flour (you can sub 100g wholemeal)
a tablespoon of oil (olive or sunflower is good)
a teaspoon of sugar
a teaspoon and a half of salt
7g of instant yeast (I use this one)
300ml warm water
Pop water in the mixing bowl, add yeast, sugar, salt and oil, get mixing with your dough hook on minimum as you add but by bit the flour. Or you can just dump the lot in at the start, but I find the inside it much softer this way. Once mixed - takes about a min - turn up a level and leave to mix for about 4 mins.
Pop into loaf pan or shape and pop on a greaseproof papered tray and cover with another layer of greaseproof paper or oiled cling film for an hour or so til nice and big.
Heat oven to 190 deg C and cook about 25-30 mins til nice and brown and base sounds hollow when you tap it. Cool on a cooling rack.
Scoff.
Tada!
Although you might want to wait a short while so you don't burn your mouth :D

Ready to go!
Slow mixing to start...
Then turn up a speed for 4 mins.
Pop into loaf tin or shape and put on tray.
Its the one on the right, I took advantage of a hot oven to make 2!
Rise my pretty! This is after an hour.
