Nothing really life changing, but things I really want to do
One of them was to become a better cook
Now, I'm not bad (although, Paul jokes I am) but I am lazy
Not in the sense I eat processed food, probably 80% of the food I have is homemade
I would LOVE a big herb garden, have you seen the Jamie at Home series?
He basically goes out into his garden, picks lots of veggies and herbs and creates a salad with what he's grown!
I seriously drool over Jamie Oliver's herb garden!
I do admit I am a lazy cook and I'm stuck in a rut
Basically I eat:
Fruit,
Salads,
Soups,
Pasta,
Curry
and Stir Fry's
And they're usually the same
When I actually bother and cook something unknown, I love it!
It's just getting round to doing it
So, here are some recipes I've had bookmarked for a while and never made
Hopefully this will spur me on!
Vanilla Sugar Blog
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
I need to do this!
When I was back in Wales I went to Asda and got the 'chicken' pieces
Even non-vegetarians thought they were real

Our Veggie Kitchen
Clam Chowder
About 6 years ago (when I ate fish)
I went to Splash Cafe, Pismo Beach in California and had some AMAZING clam chowder in a bread bowl. It was SOOOOO good!
I have always wanted to create a veg version, maybe this is it?

Vegan Dad
Cinnamon Buns
I really don't have too much of a sweet tooth, but cinnamon is my weakness
The smell, the taste
mmmmmmmmmmm
Cinnamon buns are the best!
