Easy fish curry


The Boy asked for fish recently and I was kind enough to oblige by making him a fish curry. Turns out he wanted slabs of grilled or baked fish with vegetables. Hah. Too bad. He had to eat the fish curry. Incidentally, it was a super delicious fish curry. And so easy to make.

Rainbow pasta salad



This dish started about a week ago when I had some leftover duck from a meal out and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I decided on a simple pasta salad with some bow pasta I had. It turned out to be delicious. The bright colors from the spring onions and tomatoes make this dish not only tastes but bright and fun too. It's like eating the rainbow.

Creamy tomato pesto and chicken pasta


Every now and then I fall back on an easy favorite. Some form of pesto pasta. Recently, when I went to the store, they didn't have basil pasta, so I ended up with tomato pesto instead. I did what I usually do with pesto and pasta and this I think turned out even tastier than my usual basil pesto pasta. I might like it a little better than the basil version and if you want basil pesto instead of tomato, just switch it out. Easy peasy.

Hurricane cocktail with a twist


The Boy suggested we make a Hurricane cocktail. Of course, I take the opportunity to turn anything I can into a frozen cocktail because that's what I like. This one turned out great and I love the frothy, frozen texture. It went down a treat too.

Strawberry Dream cocktail


You should know by now I have a thing for frozen cocktails. If there's a way for me to make a classic cocktail frozen, I will. I know it's very girly of me but I love these sweet, frozen cocktails. This is one that The Boy made up. He wanted to use the Strawberries and Cream Baileys we had so he came up with this deliciousness. The Boy calls this his Cocobanaberry Dream Cocktail. I'm just going with Strawberry Dream. Not as exotic I know, but it's easier to remember.

I know you've been seeing a few cocktail recipes on the blog recently. That's because The Boy has gotten into making cocktails and I'm following along.

Kahlua espresso martini cocktail


The estate where we live is also a winery and we make our own wine which is sold to the public and to owners. The wine committee recently shared a recipe for an espresso martini using one of our wine liqueurs. It's super simple to make and delicious. Of course, you don't need to use our estate's wine liqueur, you can pretty much use any brand's.
