We had leftover curry and rice, and chocolate mousse for dessert, with pecan-pineapple upside down cake coming up for supper! lol (I was practising the desserts for a dairy free, wheat free, grain free, etc, demo - so we're having a small main and a big dessert - hee hee!)  ;D

That looks nice maddy.  We had your sweet pizza using pita bread, quince paste and Castello White which Foodland threw out for $1.99 today.  Have always wanted to do a sweet one and it was nice for a change - we did have our main meal for lunch so I didn't feel guilty having dessert for tea.

looks delicious maddy, will look forward to you posting the recipe. I have been meaning to buy one of those tart tins but have been undecided about the long skinny ones or the wider ones. Looks like you have a wider one maddy?

Yum Maddy, that looks delicious.
I finally decided to make Trudys Honey Mustard Chicken and I must say that it was so easy and the flavour was yum!
I made rice and steamed brocolli to go with it. I did add a few mushrooms in the last 10 mins.
We are still waiting on the salted caramel maple ice cream as it hadn't frozen in the ice cream maker so I've just put it in the freezer.

It was 13 x 36 cm.  Had it for ages, and first time I have used it  :P

This pizza absolutely has to be eaten whilst sipping some glasses of bubbly Judy.....that's the rules  :P ;D

HoolsOO3.....your meal looks lovely   8)

Maddy, your tart looks great and I've put in on next weeks list to help me use up some leftover mayo.

Hools003, your meal looks fantastic.  And yes, the honey mustard chicken is fantastic.

Tonight we're having pizza (EDC base, with Quirky Jo's BBQ sauce and some leftover christmas ham...still!...) and a garlic bread plait.

"Mmmm" at first bite for DH so that's always a good sign  :D

I am just so impressed with the food you girls have been producing lately - such gorgeous photos too.  If they don't inspire people to get cooking, I don't know what will  :D :D

It was really lovely Wonder!
A little tedious cooking the chicken in small batches (I used 3 chicken breasts), but worth it for the flavour.  Do allow yourself plenty of time before dinner, to fry the chicken.
Next time I will cut the chicken a little thicker than I did.
Think it would also be lovely with pork too.
