Creamy Cabbage & Carrot Chowder – The Good Ol Four ‘C’s

Cabbage & Carrot Chowder

Cabbage & Carrot Chowder 2

Let’s start the year right with a hearty and healthy bowl of vegetable chowder. This chowder recipe has loads of Vitamin C and fiber in it, what with its plentiful vegetables. The bacon bit topping is an additional treat for myself, but these are really optional and can be done without.

A Nicely Baked Loaf Of Fish

Baked Fish Loaf 2

Baked Fish Loaf

I was getting a bit tired of eating Chinese style steamed fish. It was a dish that was on my menu for quite a long time now, since I was pregnant till about seven months after the little munchkin was born.

Cheez-It 3

I love these crackers. Very much. I always reach my hands out to any boxes of cheez-its on supermarkets shelves that I see and then find myself trying very hard to persuade my inner me to put them back down.

Also, depending on the flavour of the crackers, not all of them taste nice for sure, so you must be very careful which ones you select. I have never tried the blue or goat cheese flavoured crackers because these flavours are beyond my cheesy limits. There are also some brands in which the crackers actually give off a funny bitter aftertaste, probably due to an overload of butter used for baking them commercially.

Stocking Up Bottles Of Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce For Christmas

Sundried Tomato Pesto Sauce

Sundried Tomato Pesto Sauce 2

It is really expensive to buy sun-dried tomato pesto sauce bottles off the shelves of supermarkets. It costs more than five dollars just for a small bottle of the sauce. Worse is that I cannot even make one and a half serving worth of spaghetti with a small bottle. Buying these sauces for meals is a form of luxury that I indulge in only about once or twice a year.
