I used to love to cook, but somehow - along this journey called life - I lost that mojo and it became a chore of sorts. Recently, I've rediscovered the pleasure and today I have the crockpot on making glazed chicken tenderloins and mushrooms, and I had a flash of inspiration in Publix, and grabbed some sausagemeat to make Scotch Eggs tomorrow for dinner. I don't even remember the last time I made them. Now, with my 4 chickens laying every day, it seems like an awesome way to make use of some of their eggs.
With the colder days and evenings now, I've also started going back to an old favourite - jacket potatoes. I tend to do either a curry filling/topping, or ham and cheese. Either make a tasty and satisfying meal that's quick and easy to make (and I'm all for quick and easy!).
I have no room in the freezers at the moment, so can't be doing any batch cooking for now, but I love cooking and freezing portions of chicken tikka masala and rice, savoury minced beef and dumplings and various curries.
I'm no Chef Ramsay but I'm enjoying cooking again.
