Cheesy Baked Seafood Curry

On Tuesday evening I went for dinner with some of my girlfriends at an Italian restaurant. One of the girls told me that I "have to try the baked calamari." The menu read as follows: "Oven Baked Calamari (Cheese Optional)". In my mind I envisioned this scrumptious lasagne style dish filled with saucy calamari covered in deliciously-melted oozy cheese, what arrived was a white dinner plate with calamari tubes in sauce. Eventhough it was very nice and had good flavour I was disappointed because it was nothing like I had imagined. So yesterday I decided to try to conjure up what I had imagined when I read the menu.

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.

Saucy Strips and Veg!

Nando's has a meal on their menu that rocks my world, namely: Strips and Rice! Recently they have come out with a strips, veg and rice that is also so delicious. Inspired by this, I conjured up my own strips, veg and rice and it was deeeeeeelish. The whole recipe from start to finish probably takes half an hour so it makes a nice week-night meal.
