Chinese Chicken Drumsticks

My ideas for the dinner party often come too late, so I'm always in a hurry. This time, believe it or not, I have prepared the recipes a week before for this event. Pork is on the menu every time we meet with my family and I needed a little chicken touch. :-) This recipe is well known all over the world but as I do with all my recipes I've changed it a bit. :-) Now this recipe is more like Rosvitha's chinese chicken drumsticks.

Mac and cheese (with a little sprinkle of bacon)

There is so many varieties of this dish so I bring you one of mine. Of course, the tastiest one. :-) You need time just for cooking the macaronis or pasta (any sort you like) and in the meanwhile prepare the sauce. This is a quick lunch and the lunch that you can bring to work. The best thing is that you know exactly what it consists of. The others will be jealous and will ask for the recipe from you. Let this recipe be the trigger to new ideas for this meal, so give your own recipe!

Bell Pepper Peperonata

If you adore peppers just as I do, you will love this extra simple, a few ingredient dish. This is only a basic peperonata which can be enriched with a lot of seasoning or by adding onions, garlic, eggplant or 1-2 eggs to make a delicious and light meal. If you like it chili, use one tiny chili pepper to indulge yourself. Serving this delicious meal comes with mood... I was in a mood for chicken nuggets in a shape of a dinosaur. My son was so happy - for the dinosaurs - off course! :-)

Pork Paprikash

Paprikash is a one pot meal similar to goulash but with potatoes in it. Usually made with chicken meat, but this time I used pork meat to indulge my son's wish.

Shepherd's Pie

This meat pie or casserole - also called Cottage Pie is very easy to make. It has a long history. Since the name of this pie is Shepherd's Pie, the lamb meat is necessary. There are a lot of people who aren't very fond of that kind of meat, but if some other meat is used the name of the pie must be changed...or we can be liberal and use any meat that we have at home :-)
