Winter blues

It's cold and it's miserable and all I want is comforting, indulgent, hearty food. Like this tagine above. Yum! Think I might have to invest in one of these Moroccan dishes - they just look so good when presenting food, and the fact you can cook in them . . . gold! I'm all about one pot cooking - and as few dishes as possible!

But with three weddings in three months time . . . I'm afraid it's goodbye indulgence and hello calorie counting! Headed out to the Gepps Cross markets with Bree on Sunday for a hilarious little adventure. Spent $20 and came back with two big green bags FULL of goodies. Bargain hunting at its best.

Now I'm facing a week of invention tests - how many different recipes can I come up with that include veggies? So far it's 'every vegetable imaginable' soup, stuffed tomatoes, steamed Asian greens, and maybe a slow cooked curry (I might even lash out and serve it on some cous cous!).

Wish me luck xo
