Cashew Nut StirFry

A good Thai Curry is definitely one of my all-time favourite meals. I also love a good stirfry full of different brightly coloured vegetables. Meatless Monday had me on my toes again and I was running low on ideas so what started off as a good old stir-fry (but looking a bit dull) soon got doused in some Thai curry flavours and became something very unusual but totally delicious. This recipe could be a bit time consuming with all the batch cooking but the end result is definitely worth it. Prawns or Chicken could be added in place of the Cashews.

Vegetable Lasagne

I've started doing a Meatless Monday every week now, much to my boyfriend's dismay. To hide the fact that there is no meat in his food, I tend to get quite creative but every now and then I create a real winner of a meal and this vegetable lasagne is definitely that. He loved this lasagne and it is so easy and so delicious. This recipe is dedicated to my cousin Colleen who is currently my blogs biggest fan and a dedicated vegetarian.

A little bit of background

I grew up with a mother and a big sister who cook the most amazing food and some of my fondest memories took place in the kitchen. Ironically enough, I never helped much in the kitchen (apart from making a salad and stealing the crunchy bits out of my sisters roast-potato pot) until I moved out of the house.

I can remember sitting on the kitchen counter every day while my mother prepared dinner and although I didn't really cook until I moved out the house I can make all my mothers recipes with my eyes closed.

As for my sister, there is a large 13 year age gap between us and I used to spend alot of time at her house growing up. My sister loves to cook and bake (especially bake) and I was always in her kitchen chatting to her while she whipping up something fabulous.

So I guess its no surprise then, that when I moved out of house and home, I fell completely in love with cooking. My sister and I swap recipes on a daily basis and I always have her and my mother on speed-dial when disaster strikes.

I get my hands on every recipe, cooking magazine and cooking blog I can find so I am always trying new recipes and very often I create my own. All the recipes on this blog are my own: either recreated from something I ate at a restaurant, adapted from multiple recipes or simply out my head depending on whats in the fridge.
