I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Halloumi and Vegetable Stir Fry

Husband: "What's for dinner?"Answer: "Halloumi Stir Fry"

Reaction from husband: "Oh" (disappointed)

After eating, reaction from husband: "This was really good!"

Moral: Don't be so judgy!

 
Ingredients:
8 oz (250g) halloumi, herbed or plain cut in 1" cubes
2 tbsps olive oil
3/4-1 cup kernel corn
1 cup cherry tomatoes, pierced with a knife
1/4 scotch bonnet pepper, very finely chopped
1 cup sliced zucchini, about 1/4" thick
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped and more to garnish
salt and pepper to taste
lemon wedges to serve 

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in saucepan to medium high. Fry cheese cubes for 2 minutes then flip for an additional 2 minutes. When two sides are golden remove to a plate.
Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and again on medium high heat add the zucchini for 1 minutes. Then add the corn, onion, scotch bonnet, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes. This amount of scotch bonnet gave just enough heat for us. Adjust as you like. Add tomatoes for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and toss with the cheese, chopped basil and a squeeze of lemon. 

Serves 2
