The Makings of a Meal

I bustled away in the kitchen happily this morning. I measured and chopped and mixed and blended and whisked and generally had a lovely time. While I certainly created a huge pile of washing up, I had this deliciousness to share with my family at the end of my cooking flurry. Definitely worth the washing up!


Roast Pumpkin and Raw Broccoli Salad. Yum!
(I serve this with grilled chicken.)

The warm and creamy custard base for a homemade vanilla ice-cream. Mmm!

Chocolate and Sweet Potato Cake.  Scrumptious!

I'm sure you can guess which ones were for dessert!

    1. Lots of time in the kitchen equals lots of delicious, home-cooked food. It's a productive time during the cooking and a joyful time when we sit down to eat together the food that's been made in our kitchen. Thanks for visiting! Meg:)

    1. Hi, Kim. It sure tasted delicious! The cake is very moist thanks to the sweet potato and I'm really happy with the way the ice-cream turned out. I used only 30g of raw sugar in it compared to the 150g set down in the recipe. Together, the cake and ice-cream were lovely without being sickly sweet. Thanks for visiting! Meg:)

    1. Oh, yes. I agree. The tastiest food does seem to result from a BIG pile of washing up.
