Recipes will follow soon.........

A friend gave me the idea to create a blog. I started it today. It is just after midnight now and I am very tired.
But I am very happy I  managed to do it or at least started it.


I will have to translate all the recipes and I will post them soon. So if anybody would like it before, just leave a comment. Many of my Flylady friends do have the recipes already.

Maccaroni with thunafish tomato sauce

Pasta:

500 gram maccaroni

500 gram tomatoes

1 big onion

1 clove of garlic

olive oil

1 little dried chili (if you like it hot)

1 small cup of fresh unsweetened cream

Cook the maccaroni as you always do.



 Fry the thin sliced onion in olive oil for about 2 minutes. Then add the tunafish with the olive oil of the tin. Fry again for a few minutes and add the tomatos (small cubes, if you want peel them before you cut them). Stir it.  Add salt and pepper till it tastes the way you like it. I added  chilli pepper. Now you add the cream, stir for about 2 minutes and then you add the small cutted parsley of fresh basilic.





Now you serve the sauce on top of the pasta.










 


Potato Roesti with creamy mushroom sauce

Potato Roesti

Rösti from boiled potatoes
Ingredients (for 4 people)

800 g potatoes, cooked in their skins the day before
1 tsp salt
50 g butter

Preparation

Peel the potatoes, then either grate them on a coarse grater or quarter them and slice them thinly. Sprinkle salt between the layers. Put the frying pan to heat without the fat in it then add 1/3 of the butter (moving it round so that it comes right up to the rim of the pan). Add the potatoes, spread them out and press them down slightly.

Fry for about 10 minutes over low heat. Now press them into a compact pancake shape and add a further 1/3 of the butter all round the edge of the pan.
Cover with a plate and fry for another 10 minutes over a low heat until the underside has formed a golden crust. Turn the Rösti over by tipping it onto the plate that has been used as a lid and sliding it back into the pan.
Add the remaining 1/3 of the butter and leave to fry for another 10 minutes. Serve the finished Rösti on the plate that was used as a lid.
