It’s been a while since I’ve written a post – not that I haven’t been cooking, as you will notice by the new recipes and updates on my challenge, so I thought I’d just summarise what I’ve been doing since I got my new toys.  You may also notice a change to the website – please (PLEASE) let me know what you think – whether you like it or not!

First of all, the new toys are:

KitchenAid 600 Series 6 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, otherwise known as ‘Nigella’, and a Ninja Food Processing System, otherwise known as ‘Ninja’ (sorry, not that inventive!).

‘Nigella’

‘Ninja’

So I’ve been busy using both of these toys making lots of old favourite recipes, and trying out new ones.  The first one that I made in the KitchenAid was my monster cookies since I’d burnt out a motor in a previous mixer and I wanted to make sure my new mixer could handle what I could throw at it.  And it did … with flying colours!  The first one that I made in the Ninja was my quinoa bars, again since I’d burnt out a motor in a previous one and the Ninja did awesomely!  See below for other favourites I’ve made and try them yourselves!

Again, if you like what you see here on my website, I’d love for you to sign up to receive the e-mail updates (they don’t happen that frequently), or sign up your friends and family.  And I’d also love to hear your comments and suggestions on any of the recipes!

If you’re into more social media-type stuff, you can also follow me on Twitter at @sarahcookathome.

Until next time, enjoy cooking at home!
