Home cooked meal for one = $6.00
Salmon, potatoe wedges, mixed vegetables and haloumi. The only thing missing was a wedge of lemon. I did have a bottle of concentrated lemon in the fridge, a light drizzle of that worked well and some hemp oil.
I reckon you would pay big money for that meal at a local cafe.

Hmmm one of my favourites, looks gorgeous. Although I don’t have halloumi I do put natural yoghurt on it lol

One of my favorites too Charlie. I wouldn’t normally put haloumi on it but I fancied some. Natural yoghurt would go well. I made some dip today with natural yoghurt and cauliflower pickle…its yummy on cracker biscuits .

I have often wondered what haloumi tasted like…

Haloumi doesn’t have a strong cheese flavour, does have a nice texture. It is usually browned on either side and drizzled with lemon. I first tried it a Greek Festive…so yummy.

Ally, with the way COVID limits our in-dining experiences now, we have to really recreate our fav resto dishes or make our own new creations at home.

I agree with you Josie. I enjoy creating and cooking. It’s amazing what you can find in the fridge freezer and cupboard.

Carol I recently had haloumi that was lightly fried and tossed in a salad. It is nice as a little snack fried and topped with a little drizzle of lemon juice 😋 x

I love salmon, I could live on it, rotating an assortment of vegies, hadn’t thought of adding halloumi. Last time I had visitors ( no visitors for 2021 Lockdown ) we had it on Xmas Eve with baked courgettes ( zucchini ) roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic and mashed potatoes.

I can usually buy a two fillet pack of Salmon for $11.00. They are small fillets that suits me well. When you are on a pension you learn to budget wisely.
Have a wonderful day….cheers 😃
