Thai Style Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple Fried Rice

Hello and happy Friday!

I am so happy it is the weekend again. What are your plans?

We are having some friends over for dinner tomorrow. I was thinking of making my Mango Cheesecake for dessert, that seems to be my staple dessert this summer! I shall henceforth rename Summer 2013 as the summer of the Mango Cheesecake.

Speaking of fruits, I bought a pineapple during last weekends grocery shop. I ate half of it and still had another half. I decided to use the leftover half to cook pineapple fried rice. I am not sure if you have tried Thai Style Pineapple Fried Rice, but you should! You have the sweetness of the pineapple, the savouriness of the fish sauce and spiciness from chilli all combining to make a tasty rice dish. I wanted something vegetarian so did not use any meat or seafood. Feel free to include some prawns or chicken breast in yours if you prefer.

Hello and Happy Thursday!

I am very excited because I have an amazing Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline Tart recipe for you. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious! 

Just imagine, a crumbly shortcrust pastry topped with smooth chocolate ganache and finally topped off with a crunchy hazelnut praline. Yes, it is rich and indulgent but sometimes we just need some treats.

Happy Meatless Monday!

How was your weekend? I hope you had a blast or at least some much needed rest and relaxation.

Today for Meatless Monday, I am going to cook a simple and classic pasta dish. I always marvel at how this recipe can be so simple and yet so flavourful and satisfying. More things in live should be this simple. Sometimes we need to just go back to basics.

If you have some pesto on hand, go ahead and add some in.
