❤ Ola Foodies ❤

There have been some really interesting dishes
coming forward in the latest entries to my #whatscookingchallenge
and I have selected the three features for this post,
which I felt were really creative.

I have also been having quite a bit of fun
in the kitchen this week...

Here's what I cooked up this week...

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Beef Stroganoff with Baby Marrow Spaghetti and a Micro Herb Salad

Many years ago, my mom started a recipe book for me.
Every few months I would give her the book
and she would add some new recipes of hers into it...
one of my best was her stroganoff...

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Apple & Mint, Lamb Knuckle Stew

Sometimes, it is the simplest dishes which are the most tasty...
and yesterday was no exception.
It was rainy and cold here in Cape Town,
and I was LAZY lol...
so I decided to make something easy!

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Creamy Butternut, Bacon and Blue Cheese Soup

Soup is one of those really easy "go to" meals...
throw it all in a pot, leave it and hey presto! haha!
Normally, my favourite would be a lamb and vegetable soup,
but for whatever reason, yesterday I felt like a creamy soup
and so butternut was a total no brainer for me haha...
Except I decided to PIMP it up a little...

Ok, so now...
let's go check out what everyone else has been cooking up!

Kicking Bangers and Mash up a Notch

By @rwedegis

Let’s face it traditional bangers and mash is pretty boring… a couple of weenies slapped on top of a pile of mashed potatoes then smothered with some non-descript brown gravy. It does taste better after a few pints of Guinness.

INTRODUCING THE

🍒

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE CHALLENGE

In addition to being a complete wine glutton hehe, I am also a HUGE foodie as my @steemitbloggers family know well… I absolutely LOVE to cook (and eat...lol) - always experimenting with different ingredient and flavour combinations. I seldom follow recipes verbatim – most of the time, I will whizz through them, glancing briefly at the ingredients and method – then heading off to the supermarket, forgetting most of what I have read on the recipe and then improvising,
ending up with something totally awesome and unique!

I know how much I love pushing the boundaries and experimenting in the kitchen, no matter how outlandish the ideas may seem to others. I also love to learn from others and then adapt the ideas to my own tailored tastes. So I thought it would be awesome to see how creative other people get in their kitchens... whether it is a "pimp'd" toasted cheese sandwich or a "rebel" gourmet appetiser.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Yes, here comes the boring recipe part
with rules and boundaries... JUUUST KIDDING!
