Mama LaPaglia's Homemade Comfort Food

Homemade comfort food that the family will love. My own recipes and some favorites that will have them wanting more. This isn't master chef, just good homemade food. Being a pensioner on a budget a lot of my recipes come about by just using what I have in the pantry and sometimes that isn't a lot, but one thing I am famous for is my Spaghetti sauce.

Deluxe Curry Chicken

Who doesn't love a good curry?. It is always a favorite in my house usually the hotter the better. and I can make lots of different varieties of it, Indian, Thai etc. I Remember growing up and mum made Curry a lot Back then I thought it was pretty good. and she always used "keens curry powder". I prefer to make my own curry blend from herbs and spices. the other night we had the dilemma of "what are we going to have for dinner?". . Being the middle of winter and a pretty bare pantry we decided curry was the go but alas my spice rack is looking fairly dismal. so I threw together a basic curry using good old keens curry powder and a fer bits and pieces and made curried sausages. I can't even remember the last time I had eaten that, and it was way better than I ever remembered it was. So tonight I made a curry chicken but the recipe is slightly different due to the fact I didn't have a few things left after making the curried sausages...So this is the curr...

Puff Pastry Vanilla Slices & Passionfruit Icing

Wow I am 54 years old and have never made Vanilla Slices, well I guess that is because I was never a big cake eater or sweets person except for chocolate and cheesecake so today I thought I would have a crack at it..Now all would of probably gone a little more smoothly if I had a proper oven but I only have a round benchtop oven. First problem!..Trying to put a square peg in a round hole so to speak. Cooking the puff pastry sheets the recipe called for 2 sheets and I ended up having to use 4 and wasting almost half of that trying to cut a nice fit for my tray..Finally I managed it.. Problem number 2 !.. I just wasn't sure if the custard would set, it looked good in the saucepan. anyway just to be on the safe side I added a tiny bit of cornflour to be sure, sweet. Problem number 3 ! and I wasn't thinking I was just following the recipe I had found online but didn't read it all and I stuffed the icing I mean come on now how can you stuff up icing haha. but I did not able to j...

Spanakopita Sausage Rolls

I love Traditional Greek Spanakopita So I am always making slight variations on this depending on what I have in my pantry. These sausage rolls can be cooked, cooled, and placed in zip lock bags in the freezer to be thawed and heated up later, I prefer to do them in the oven but they can be heated in the microwave as well. Serve them with a salad, by themselves, or with a nice sauce. What you need: 1 packet of ready made puff pastry 500g tub of ricotta good handful of grated Parmesan cheese 1 packet of frozen chopped spinach 1 onion diced finely 1 tablespoon of minced garlic 1 small carrot grated 1 large egg lightly beaten about a cup of cooked jasmine rice pinch of nutmeg 2 teaspoons dill 2 teaspoons lemon juice salt and pepper to taste finely chopped parsley about 3 tablespoons Egg wash ( 1 lightly beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of cold water ) What to do: 1. A frying pan with a little olive oil, lightly saute the onion, carrot,spinach, garlic. I basically do th...

Parmesan,yoghurt chicken tenders with beans and spinach

One of those weeks where there is very little in the kitchen and I was starving, normally I don't eat packet frozen products but will admit to keeping a couple boxes of Inghams chicken tenders in the freezer and tinned stuff in the pantry is a must, so this is what I came up with for today's lunch and dinner ,and I have to say it was pretty tasty.

Cook chicken tenders for about 20 minutes or until thawed and heated through in a fan forced oven at 185 degrees. 2. Mix yoghurt, parmesan cheese and minced garlic together, place a gen...

Multigrain and Oatflour Bread ( Lower Carb) Bread Machine

So I made my own oat flour as buying almond flour is so damn expensive and oats are really cheap and the flour is easy to make. I wanted to make my multi-grain premix a little less carb. so I substituted some of the flour with oat flour. The result was fabulous I have never eaten a bread that was so filling and satisfying one piece of toast was enough. I love this bread and surprisingly this keeps really well Bread Machine used: Breville Baker's Oven makes a 1kg loaf Place ingredients into the bread machine tin in the order that they are written. Luke warm water 370mls Light olive oil 3 tablespoons Salt 2 teaspoons Honey 1 1/2 tablespoons Laucke Multigrain pre-mix bread machine flour 2 cups ( you can use any bread machine wholemeal pre-mix Oat Flour 2 cups (see note) Bread improver 2 teaspoons Skim milk powder 2 tablespoons TandacoYeast 1 sachet (roughly 2 teaspoons) Cook Setting is : Wholewheat: b-medium crust. NOTE: 1.To make oat flour you need natural oats ...
