Toaster Oven cooking!!

A whole new world of cooking Western food for one!! I always wish we had an oven, a big gas one like people have in Aust. But they are expensive, we could get a vbench top electric one like we had before, but electricy is so expenisve and it doesn't seem worth as I'm the only one who really likes Western food anyway, SOeuns happy to eat it but he doesn't get that excited so it doesnt seem worth it buy an oven at this stage.

Anyway the last tenant left behind a toaster oven, and I made pizza in it today!! And I have the ingredients for gingerbread, maybe just cooking a few at a time- wonder if the dough keeps?

Also i've done potatos, how I would in an oven, like wedges, i ate with natural yogurt and sweet chilli sauce.

toddler food

He likes oats and milk for breakfast these days, sometime raw sometimes porridge. Sometimes the milk is actually yogurt.

Raw cucumbers, omelettes and plain pasta are also easy food for me to give him/for him to eat and ones that he likes (atm).

He mostly only likes water melon and grapes (expenisve here) when it comes to fruit, altho last week he finally started eating small mandos and we've had a lot of pomello lately. Today he ate some nashi pear and apple too.

He likes eating rice with soy sauce, and rice with fish, and rice porridge if daddy gets up early! He usually eats bits of whatever we eat for lunch/dinner as well although sometimes not much. One thing he liked recently was a curry/ stir fry that was mainly faloured with peanut butter and cocnut cream.

hot food

After living out of a bag over the last month, good to finally have my own kitchen again. I made somethng today I hadn't made before and it was yummy so I'll write it down while i remember:

Chopped chicken, onion, garlic. Mixed with paprika and peppers. Fried in olive oil. Added chopped up potato (2), then eggplant (1 small), carrot (1/2) and red tomatoes (3).

Ate with rice, might try pasta next time. WOuld be nice with chick peas, broccoli, french beans, other veg and or meat.
