His and Hers

Theses two dishes are dedicated to those nights... you know what I am talking about.Busy,messy and certainly no time for fuss!.These two salads certainly come in handy. Lately there have been a few of those nights in this household. Also with 35°C as an added bonus that's when you need a dish that is easy to prepare in a jif

When I am home alone contemplating about eating greek yogurt, honey and almonds once again for dinner my hungry gut is in the mood for something delicious and crunchy,but I want something quick and easy (unfortunately no pre-made Woolworths meals available here).I have been craving coleslaw since we have returned form SA and decided to combine that with tofu,chickpeas and a curry hummus sauce.

For the hub I decided upon a carb, protein mix after a long day of work that will go down just fine. That is mostly what South African men live on I would say. The salty mix of beef and chorizo alongside the crispy, doughy taste of the potatoes will make his blue monday much more tolerating.

Don't worry ladies, I have your back! The crunchy, tangy curry taste of the salad wont win second place. Tofu may not be in your dietary preference and therefore can be replaced with chicken. Which is also very delicious.
