Friday night feastin’

   

Wowza - where did this week go? Oh yeah - that's right - it was filled with parties and wonderful house guests!

The last few nights, however,  have actually felt really quiet. I guess going from a house of 10, to a house of 2, will do that to a gal.

Confession: Feeling somewhat 'cooked out' after last weekend's Moroccan feast, Mr BBB and I have been living off toasted cheese sandwiches the last few days. Tonight, however, I was keen to get some vegetables into this body of mine. And, rather than hit the shops for new ingredients, I wanted to use up whatever we had leftover in the fridge.

Hence this rather random, yet delicious, sausage and cabbage chilli was born.

Sausages, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms and celery...

Sauteed in a little olive oil until soft...

Then in went some chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, water, chilli powder and paprika.

And just before serving....

The beans! Chickpeas and broadbeans.

Meanwhile, I had a batch of this cornbread baking in the oven.

 

Delicious - yes.....but sadly a little too sweet for my liking.

And when I sat down to dinner, I was so glad that I had gone the 'cooking' route this evening...

As this big bowl of comfort food was just what I was craving. Topped with a little grated cheese, natural yoghurt and fresh parsley...

Finished with a slice or two of cornbread.....

And we had ourselves quite the Friday night feast!

 

T’was delicious!!!

What about you? What are you up to this wonderful Friday night
