Living alone presents a problem when trying to eat the right foods and especially when deciding to cook or not to cook.

If I didn't have to worry about my weight I might just live on chocolates and cakes. Terrible to have a sweet tooth.

Last night I decided I felt like a cooked meal.

This photograph was taken a few years ago and I want to go back to my natural grey again

Decided to see what fresh vegetables I had in my fridge and made a hotchpotch (I think that's what it's called) of what I had in the fridge - so carrots, peppers, onions, the skin of cucumber, rocket, corn, tomatoes and cooked slowly in olive oil with a nice Italian spice and some Origanum.

I already had some chicken and broccoli in my deep freeze - made from the last time I cooked so that was a blessing.

Turned out to be just what I felt like

Today I liquidised the leftover and had it over some tagliatelle.

My late father used to liquidise vegetables to make the most amazing peri-peri sauce - and having had some at lunch today it was just missing the peri-peri powder.

Also, I think I found the missing dish from my Tabouleh salad post.

Will definitely repeat when I crave Tabouleh salad again. It made so many varieties of meals for me.
