Mediterranean Fish Parcels on Leeks

This was actually pretty quick to put together. Chopped up some leaks and put it in a pan with a bit of olive oil and a small piece of butter, and cooked until they were soft and delicious.

The fish were put into foil parcels with a bit of sundried tomatoes, chopped olives, sliced red pepper, salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Then into the oven until done.

Quick prep and delicious.

Dessert was steamed gemsquash. Purely because we're trying to be healthy and didn't have anything else on hand :) .
Ok, so I added sugar to mine and boyfriend added honey to his; but still, better than cake! :D

It's been a while

Tons of stuff came up over the last few months, so I had barely any time to update. That must change! So, for starters, 2 meals :)

Lunch was 3 mini pizzas. I've finally found the perfect pizza dough recipe, which I'll touch on another time. I'd made extra dough last week, and froze it for use when the pizza bug struck again.

The 3 variations:
- Garlic, sea salt and rosemary (and a little butter)
- Tomato base (sauce left over from last time; recipe to follow at another time), mature cheddar cheese and thyme
- Parmesan, feta, and some sliced green onion on the top once out of the oven.

Dinner is going to be ostrich burgers with thick chips and a salad. Not very high on the skill level, but I am working through the night again. I had wanted to make some onion marmalade for the burger, but there was no time today. Perhaps some of the Devil's Sauce (look out for the recipe soon) will go over well with it...
