Chicken mince noodles

Lara Aldred28 September 2012 21:14

Last night we had a super yummy and easy meal. Cook chicken mince then add thinly sliced carrots, broccoli, capsicum, a few splashes of sweet soy - Kapis manis and some normal soy, then add a packet of bean sprouts - leave for a few minutes for them to cook down. Not long before serving add a packet of Hokien noodles. So yummy! I'm sure you could add other things too, but I just used what was in the fridge :-)

So last night I was intending to have stir fry again, but I forgot to get the chicken out of the freezer (and also decided I couldnt really be bothered ..) So we had home made pizza - I keep some in the freezer so its an easy dinner to pull out! With chips and carrots on the side :)

Chicken Salad

Last night we had a chicken salad with sunflower seeds, basil pesto feta, crispy noodles and a balsamic and mustard dressing. Was so yummy! I love salads, but have found them hard to have recently as they are not so easy for kids. But for Nico I just put all the bits separately and he gobbled it all up! :-)

Tuna Fritters

Lara Aldred11 June 2012 18:04

Last night we had tuna fritters, rice, egg, curry powder, tuna, garlic, onion, parsley. They were really good and reminded me of an old school fish pie my mum used to make using tuna (no doubt on a budget as there are 6 kids in my family). Then veges and crunchy potatoes on the side :-)

Not a dinner, but so easy I had to share - yesterday I made roasted chickpeas (to eat cold almost like peanuts). You just drain a can of chickpeas, drizzle with oil then sprinkle however much salt and cayenne pepper that takes your fancy and into the oven at 230 for about 40min. I then turned the oven off and left them to dry out for a while longer.

Pizza

Last night we had homemade pizza with mushrooms, capsicums, red onion, corgettes and chicken. Kumara chips on the side :) I always make three or four pizzas at a time, then freeze them - makes for a quick and easy dinner!

Nana's Stew

Lara Aldred1 June 2012 23:30

On Thursday we had Davids Nana's stew recipe. So simple but so yummy. We had it using beef, then mashed spuds and cauliflower on the side. Really bugs me though that the meat for these types of meals used to be so cheap ... USED to be!

So we had a meal that a friend made for me when we had our second baby - I liked it so much I asked for the recipe and have since made it several times.

Lots and Lots of kecap manis, then left to simmer and served on rice
