Caramelised Red Onion, Tomato and Mozzarella Tart and Potato Salad

I have already made tomorrow night's supper as we are travelling down to London for the weekend. I went for a nice caramelised onion tart (which is more like pizza with a filo base) and some potato salad. Really looking forward to using the picnic set we had as a wedding present for the first time!

Only slightly over cooked!

Pretty Filo Patterns

Curry with Spinach

A nice easy curry tonight as I had had a busy day and a plenty to do this evening as well.

Sweet Potato Pancakes with Strawberries and Honey

After my disaster with the vegan blueberry chocolate cake I thought I'd return to something tried and tested. I made these lovely sweet potato pancakes again this evening. This was a pancake day recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and it's a good one. These were lovely served with honey and strawberries.

Roasted Butternut Squash with Feta Cheese

The weather was gorgeous today and not really the kind of weather that makes you want to spend much time in a hot kitchen. Mr VST had requested this meal at the weekend and I had already bought the ingredients so I made it anyway. It is a really healthy, filling meal, especially served with roast potatoes.

Cottage Pie with Phili Mash

I bought far too many potatoes last week and decided to use some of them up by mashing them and putting them on top of a quorn mince cottage pie. I thought I'd try and jazz it up a little by mashing the potato with Philadelphia light cream cheese instead of butter and milk. Mr VST couldn't tell the difference (but I'm not sure about the quality of his taste buds anyway!). It was much thicker than usual but with a slight cheesiness.

For pudding we had some more of the vegan blueberry chocolate cake. Unfortunately it hadn't improved overnight. Did I mention that it has a strange slightly burnt flavour even though I didn't burn it? The best thing about it was the blueberries, oh and the ice cream that we served with it so it wasn't actually vegan any more! 

Vegan Chocolate Blueberry Cake

Trying to satisfy my sweet tooth in a low calorie way is sometimes difficult. I came across the Fat Free Vegan Blog and the picture on the top of the amazing looking cake on the top banner. I found the recipe for it in the top ten recipes of 2010 section and as I had most of the ingredients at home or good substitutes. Blueberries were on special offer but still massively expensive but hey-ho, anything in the name of sweet-toothedness. The recipe was VERY easy to make. I may have overcooked it slightly in my fan assisted oven. It was a little dry. Mr VST had his second slice with some ice cream and liked it better than on it's own.

Chocolatey mix

Healthy Tomato and Macaroni Cheese with Salad

I re-discovered this recipe last week. It is so easy to make, just perfect for a very tired Monday.
