Meat Free Sundays
Every now and then I make a vegetarian meal and this is one of my easy go to recipes. A red lentil dahl with a golden vegetable rice.
Ingredients for Dahl
1 small onion finely chopped
1 carrot finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1 clove of garlic finely chopped
100g red lentils
1 vegetable stock cube
3 cups of water
1 teaspoon garam masala
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon butter or vegetable oil if you want to go vegan
Method
Gently fry the onions, garlic and carrots in the butter until soft. Add the garam masala and fry off for minute before adding in the lentils that have been washed along with the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for half an hour until the lentils are soft and the mixture has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice.

Miffy Cake
I made a Miffy the rabbit cake for my niece. Its just a simple chocolate cake covered in whipped Elmlea with dark chocolate eyes and a kiss for the mouth. I was pretty pleased with the result and so was my niece.
