I have no idea where the month went wrong. It feels like the month is already over, when in fact it hasn’t even started. Last week, due to load shedding affecting the pump at the dam that feeds our town, we had no water since Thursday. How lovely do you think I smell? The pump … Continue reading Squash mac and cheese pie

Cowboy quiche
When I first discovered The Pioneer Women, I was over the moon, her recipes were easy to follow with lots of pictures at each step to ensure that I was going in the right direction towards to end meal. Before Ree, I would never have dreamed of making quiche, the store bought ready made ones … Continue reading Cowboy quiche
Cow girl quiche
Since discovering the fact that I can make a pie crust from scratch, I am taking every opportunity to make pies and tarts, well actually anything that requires a pastry crust and that also includes a quiche. I was never really a big fan of quiches, the ones that you buy in the store, always … Continue reading Cow girl quiche
Sasko Tuna Quiche
A while back I posted a recipe for a Sasko pie crust that dated back to 1985, well know I have a filling for that pie crust that dates back to the same here. Of course I adapted the recipe to move with the times because back then they were not heavy on certain flavours. … Continue reading Sasko Tuna Quiche
Harry Potter’s chicken and mushroom pie
I have never ever made a pie from scratch. I once made individual pies but it was using store bought puff pastry, not pastry from scratch. I mean, who has the time in a day to stand and make pastry when you can just buy frozen ready made pies from the store and pop it … Continue reading Harry Potter’s chicken and mushroom pie
Eggless quiche
I am not a huge quiche fan, especially since some quiche is more egg than anything else. With the month long Purtassi fast starting today… it is time when the eggs go into hiding and out comes the veggies. From as long as I can remember my mum has always told me that I should … Continue reading Eggless quiche
Savory pie crust
I have never ever made pie crust before… if a recipe asks for pie crust, then I tend to avoid the recipe or I use puff pastry and just poke holes in the base and hope that it doesn’t puff up too much during the baking process. I tried making pie crust once, I won’t … Continue reading Savory pie crust
Chicken pie with puff pastry
I just love watching The Food network… I give up sleep just so that I can watch show after show and all the best shows are either on super late at night or when I am at work, so when I do get the chance to watch, you bet your last dollar I am glued … Continue reading Chicken pie with puff pastry
Vegetable pie
This recipe is soo delicious and so quick to make. I opted to use the prepacked mix vegetable but you are more than welcome to use any veggies you like. It is all up to your imagination. Perfect dish for those lazy fasting days where everyone is sick of curry curry and more curry. Ingredients: … Continue reading Vegetable pie
Key lime pie
I love key lime pie. The tangy taste of the limes with the sweetness of the condense milk is just a perfect combination. This is best enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee and a good book. Ingredients 100g x rama margarine, melted. 1 x 200g packet tennis biscuits, crushed. ½ x cup lime juice. … Continue reading Key lime pie
