Think Pink

If you haven’t gone and answered 8 quick questions about my blog, then please do- so far I’m thinking that I only have 8 people who read my blog, so I’d really appreciate your time! You go in the draw to win a secret prize as well!

This week for My Place and Yours Danielle’s asked us to think pink!

Here are the pink things around my house…

We don’t have HEAPS of pink, but when I started looking around I was amazed at how much more then these things there was! Considering it’s just me and Luke (and Pepper) I wouldn’t have thought we would have a huge amount of pink… I will admit though, I am quite partial to it!

What pink thinks do you have around your place?

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Oh Alice!

You are all such awesome blog readers, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this little space in the interent.

I really want to know what YOU think. This blog is, after all, a place where you (hopefully) come back too, and I want it to be about things you want to read. The survey is here, and everyone who fills it out for me will be in the draw to win a secret prize! It’s not long, only a few questions, most of which are multiple choice!!

Now, back to our regular programming…

Last weekend we went and saw Alice in Wonderland for Luke’s birthday. We gave it 4/5 stars, which is pretty good for us!

To celebrate I thought I’d share with you some ‘Mad Hatter’ inspired photos I took last year…

Creamy Mushroom Soup

This recipe is a trusty weight watchers one, so you’ll notice, no cream or anything like that, but the skim milk powder does make it nice and creamy! This recipe serves 4.

By the way, this looks really bland, but it’s NOT! It’s really, really, yummy.

Really creamy and flavoursome!

Ingredients:

1 X 3 second spray Always Fresh Simply Canola Spray

1 medium onion, finely chopped

750 g mushroom, chopped

2 clove garlic, crushed

1 tbs (s) soy sauce

4 whole chicken stock cube, make 4 cups stock

240 g Potato, boiled, peeled and chopped

1 cup (s) skim milk powder

Process:

Coat a medium saucepan with cooking oil spray and gently cook the onion, covering with a lid if necessary, over a low-medium heat until soft. (It may help to add a little of the stock when softening the onion.)

Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook, tossing constantly, for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add the soy sauce, stock and potatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir the skim milk powder through.

Using a stick blender or food processor, blend the soup until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and ladle into 4 warm bowls to serve.

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 30 mins

If you’re on weight watchers, this recipe is from them, and it’s 1 point per serve.

Yumm!
