Cooking up...

Recently my wife and I dabbled in making some home-made dishes for dinner instead of buying food outside.

This is what we came up with. Chef D'kneok presents:



Grilled Salmon and Dill Sauce, served with Baked Potatoes and Baby Carrots - The Salmon is of course my wife's favourite and it was little wonder that it turned out great, juicy, pink and slightly crunchy skin. The potatoes fought me all the way and refused to turn tender, but I suppose it had a certain crunch that justttt about redeemed it (that's a nice positive spin to it). I've been making baked potatoes since before I could walk and talk so I'm surprised it didn't turn out so great. The baby carrots were steamed and added a more tangy and zesty flavour to the meal. 



Three Cheese Macaroni - The best macaroni and cheese I've ever tasted, even if I do say so myself. It just came out perfectly, even beyond expected. I generally dislike Mac & Cheese, which is weird because I like cheese and macaroni. But all the other mac & cheese I've tasted (think Secret Recipe and Kenny Rogers) uses a gooey, yucky cheese that barely gives it any taste. So for this one, I used mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar cheese for some real kapow-zing-wazhashazammmm. Oh yeah.


Cloud-fluffy Omelette - The Fluff® is heavenly, I was really surprised at how it turned out. Unfortunately, I doused juuust a little bit too much olive oil and forgot to season the omelette with salt and pepper when cooking. Seasoned the omelette with a bit of paprika but it didn't raise the kick so much. The fluff though.. I think I have stumbled across a winner. Have I mentioned the fluff?

So I'm still a noob at this, but in all honesty I am quietly enjoying trying to pick up easier recipes that I can make for dinner. I hate cleaning up though, although I know I have to suck it in as it comes with the package.

Any quick and easy recipes to share?
