    Thought I Would Share...

    ...What I'm cooking for dinner tonight!

    Scotch fillet with a creamy mushroom and white wine sauce, mashed potatoes and honey carrots!


    Sauce

    500g of finely chopped mushrooms
    200ml of cream
    125ml of white wine
    30g of butter
    1tso of Garlic
    salt and pepper

    Method

    Melt the butter over a gentle heat in a medium sized saucepan.
    Add the garlic and the chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
    Stir all of the ingredients together and cook until the mushrooms have softened and darkened in colour.
    Turn the heat up on the stove and pour in the white wine.
    Stir the ingredients and cook until the wine had reduced by two-thirds.
    Turn the heat down and stir in the cream.
    Pour over cooked steak and serve.

    Sounds divine Amy! Steak and Mushy sauce is a fave around here, we often have it with potato rosti. Nomnomonom.

    We're having Beef & Guiness stew with dumplings and mashed potato. I daresay that is going to be a lot of carbs, but I think I'll be working it off this week!

    Last night we had 'sort of' fish and chips - locally caught fish steamed in foil with coriander, ginger and chilli, with home made chippies and steamed new season asparagus, snow peas and beans. Oh boy it was good!

    Tonight we're having bacon, maple syrup, grilled banana and pancakes (what's wrong with breakfast for dinner?), just because we can. And because I have a heap of bacon which I have to use up.

    Sorry, I lied. In the end we had BL(+A)Ts for lunch the next day, and had homemade pizza instead for dinner. (For anyone interested, it was with ham, salami, marinated chargrilled capsicum and eggplant, fennel marinated kalamata olives, mushrooms, onion, thyme, garlic and fresh mozzarella. We call it our deli special. It is, if I may say so myself, da bomb! OK, you can all stop drooling now).

    suse you are allowed to change your mind.

    Tonight... kids dinner was chicken sausages, mashed potatoes and their favourite vegetable (Matilda's is carrot sticks atm, and Jovie's is red capsicum).

    Adults dinner: Grilled balsamic lamb and haloumi salad..... *drool* I do slices of sweet potato and potato roasted in the oven and then lined the plate bottom. Salad of cos & spinach, red capsicum, sun dried tomatoes and kalamata olives. Topped with grilled lamb and haloumi & topped with a balsamic dressing.
