Obviously not from the same day as that would be A LOT of carbs. Coconut & maple syrup pancakes with raspberries, salad, buttered toast & fresh cut peaches and home-made spaghetti with monster cheese. Just a sample of what my everyday food is like. I tend to cook everything (or cook everything with my husband) as my cooking tends to be better than a good portion of the restaurants here.
Everything is pretty self-explanatory (olive oil + red wine vinegar for the salad dressing), coconut syrup mixed with maple syrup for the pancakes & for the spaghetti sauce all you need is: tomatoes, salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, onions, mushrooms (& red wine if you want).
Boil tomatoes until soft and the skin is peeling off. Take off the skin and mash. Add olive oil to a sauce pan and saute onions and mushrooms until brown. Chop garlic and add. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Add wine and let it cook a little to evaporate so the taste isn`t too strong. Taste it, make sure you like it then add to cooked noodles.
Making your own sauce takes about the same time as using a store bought one (make it while you are waiting for the noodles to cook) and it takes a lot better than store bought sauce. No joke. I make almost all my own sauces now. Experimenting with salad dressings at the moment.
All of them looks delicious~! I definitely agree with you about making your own tomato sauce. It tastes so much sweeter and fresh than store bought ones :-)
ReplyDeleteWe also make our sauces most of the time, and it really makes a difference! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I learnt how to make a wonderful local (from Dijon) salad dressing whilst I was in France - so much better than store-bought.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are a pretty amazing cook, haha! Everything looks delicious ♥
