I do apologise it has been a while since I blogged!! Life has been busy!! I have just accepted a job with AHS at our local Hospital The Northern Lights Health Centre.. I will be once again in Dietary! It is exciting but a little scary as we have had our own business for the past 7 yrs!! Brick4Kidz !! Due to cover we haven’t had work for a year so it is time to go back in to the work force!! I have my uniform and on Tuesday I have orientation and then start the afternoon shift !!
A fave of ours is the twice backed potato, actually I only bake it once!! I scrub the whole potatoes put a few pricks with a fork in them and boil them for about 30 mins, then cool, once cooled Half the potato, scrape out the potato place in a bowl and add cheese and onion in this batch, then bake in the oven until crisp!! you can put what ever filling you like..
Baked Beans, a little Southern baked beans, this is another fave, I soaked some 6 cups navy beans over night added a little baking soda , then I boiled them for about 45 mins ! I sautéed 2 red onions, a hot pepper added a little smoked paprika, garlic, fresh grind black pepper and some Epicure Spices!! a large can of pureed tomatoes, oh my these are delicious! Made some home made buns and that was supper..
Crispy Chinese duck Yummy first time making this.. With Onion Pancakes!! I saw Jamie Oliver doing tis and I had to try it!! I would love to cook with Jamie Oliver!
As I am starting work soon, I did a little extra batch cooking, making meals a head an freezing them.. It was quite the week, I made Pasta Sauce , enough for 3 of us for Pkged in 3 large Zip locks, each bag 6 portions.. No ordering meals out for us .. Everything is cooked from scratch.. Next batch was butter chicken.. Again frozen in 3 Large Zip Locks, then a bean Chilli batch.. Pizza sauce batch.. and I made a large batch of Chicken Veggie pasties! and some Seafood Chowder.. I put all batched meals in Large Ziplock Bags date and say what is in the bag lay flat and freeze flat once frozen you can stand up like envelopes, takes up way less room!! Cooking from scratch and in large batches takes a little organising, but saves time and money! plus you know what goes in to your food, yesterday I did a batch of Chicken Veg soup in my beautiful new Langastina Pans my amazing husband bought me for Christmas!! I cant with for to be able to cook a huge family dinner!1
