Avocado mash

This is a recipe in the 4 Ingredients Allergy book. The original recipe calls for an avocado, 2 potatoes and olive oil. I substituted the potato with half a sweet potato (the orange kind) and half a kumera potato. I carefully diced the potatoes (all cubes the same size, very important), boiled them until slightly mushy, then added the ripe avocado and dash of oil as I mashed. I was surprised how good it was. Avocado is creamy, so it's almost like adding milk or cream to the mash but with a different flavour.

Mash and cheese

I stumbled across this hearty and delicious meal when attempting to use up the vast quantity of mashed potato I had made for a meal meant for other people (one of the most irritating things as a calorie obsessed person is that not everyone else wants to eat everything). I did this simply by sprinkling grated cheese and cracking an egg (for the protein of course) onto a bowl of mash, which I heated in the oven. The result? Slightly crusty top, hot, bubbling cheese and a soft, squishy underbelly of mashy goodness.

Bacon wrapped chicken skewers

This is a collaborative meal between myself and my dad. I made the bacon wrapped chicken by getting long pieces of bacon and wrapping them around chicken tenderloins while skewering them to secure the chicken and bacon. when I started running out of bacon, I chopped it up and began wrapping the chicken around the bacon. I placed the chicken skewers on top of a baking dish (if only it was a rotisserie!). Dad mashed pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots and potato. The sauce is a mixture of pasta sauce, frikasee and pad thai sauce.
