Waldorf Salad

I love a good Waldorf Salad. Crips apples, crunchy walnuts and a smooth dressing. This one would have been my new favourite - if it wasn't for the blue cheese in the dressings.

Blue Cheese. Not a fan. Sorry.

For me, it took over the flavour of the salad. Ok, I might have gotten the wrong blue cheese, but like I've said before, good luck finding the right ingredients out here. I got the one I could afford. And it ruined the whole plate.

Still looks good though, right?

I'd like to make it again, but with my own dressing next time. Something a little tangy but not as overpowering.

Steak and Chips

A while ago I asked Hubby if he'd mind flicking through my Seasons cookbook and telling me recipes he'd like to try soon.

Big mistake.

I quote "Waldorf Salad? That looks like crap!"

Me: "Seriously?!? It's a classic salad!"

Hubby: "Why don't they just keep it simple? Why do people have to make food all....fancy (said with waving fingers and all)? Fish and fennell? Just have fish and chips. Simple"

I want to cook all these wonderful yummy things and my husbands taste buds are permanently set on 'Bland'. Urgh.

So when I found this recipe, I knew I'd hit the jackpot.

Steak and Chips. Deep fried chips, even. None of the healthy fancy oven baked sweet potato chips. No. Full fat, starchy Sebago potatos cut up and deep fried. Apparently, the way it's meant to be.

You could not get an easier, simple recipe. Cut up potato and fry. Keep warm in the oven. Check

Cook steak (rib eye fillet, from memory) on a griddle pan, or a Gorge Foreman grill in my case as that's what I've got, till Medium. Check.

Tuck in. Check.

Even Noah loved the chips!
