atthefarmhouse: Cooking

Today I made this yummy, yummy banana cake!! I sometimes make banana muffins or banana cake when I have bananas that have passed their peak. Mr FH is not that fond of muffins so I made this banana and pecan cake. I made it in a spring tin and drizzled icing over it while it was still a little warm then added more pecans. I usually make it in a loaf tin and it always seems to rise up in the centre so the ring tin certainly solved that problem. I quickly set a small morning tea tray ready for a visit from some friends. I used the cutest paper napkins with shoes on (very me!!) and plain white china. Very simple, very quick and very enjoyable!!

We are getting some lovely rains this week. They have been a long time coming!! Our seeding is nearly finished so now we just pray for rain to make everything grow!!

Sweet Chilli Chicken

Now that the days are getting shorter and the weather colder I have pulled out my favourite appliance - the slow cooker!! For a girl who isn't that fond of cooking (I only cook cos I like to eat!) this is the best invention ever. Yesterday I worked an extra day so before I went in the morning I prepared (only takes a minute) dinner for last night.

I love coming home from work and opening the door and I can smell my dinner cooking. It gives me time for a quick visit to blogland before dinner needs to be served.

This is my Sweet Chilli Chicken (actually not mine, I got it out of a recipe book but I feel it's mine because I have shared it sooo much with friends and family).
