I'm a studying cook.

I sat down to study at about 9.30am but my brain just couldn't focus, so I went to the kitchen and cooked up a big feed of bacon, eggs, tomato, onions and avocado. That did the trick.

I studied til lunch time, when Adoring Husband arrived home from the SES, so I threw some beef sausages in the oven and while they cooked I chopped up a bowl full of salsa with tomato, capsicum, onion, avocado, cucumber and pear. A pinch of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice to finish it off.

I continued studying til 4.30pm and then it was Chilli Mince with vegetable cakes, which were so delicious!

For the veggie cakes, I riced half a cauliflower, grated 2 cups of sweet potato, finely diced an onion, chopped one bacon rasher, sprinkles of paprika, cumin, chilli powder, turmeric, salt and pepper, 1/4 cup chick pea flour, a handful of chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, a good splash of coconut oil and 3 eggs. I used egg rings to mould them into shape on a large flat tray lined with baking paper brushed with coconut oil, and cooked them in the oven for 40 minutes.

I had two servings of both the chilli mince and the veggie cakes! The servings were only the size of a bread and butter plate, but I couldn't resist. There are heaps left over, so I'll serve them with guacamole tomorrow. Yum.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to the movies with the girls. It will be a nice break from my studies. A bit of light relief. I'm looking forward to it.

 
Nite all.
