Menu Monday

For the month of January I'm going to post our evening menu every Monday night. Or it might be Tuesday! Ha! Anyway, feel free to post yours too!

Menu the first:
*Pampano Fish in Ginger Sauce.
(Sounds fancy, but it's not. It's super easy!)

*Steamed pumpkin with cinnamon sugar
(The pumpkin here is totally different then the pie pumpkins in the US...not sure what to compare them too, but they are very good and most people here will eat them! Since we are a little shy on the orange vegetables, this is great! )

*Green Beans
(Just plain: I was in a hurry, but they were fresh and tasty all the same.)

*Fresh Lettuce Salad
(With homemade Lemon Basil Dressing, another super easy fix!)

*Focaccia Bread
(My latest favorite bread to bake and I can't wait to try some different flavours!!)

*Coconut Star Fruit Salad
(Emily and I concocted this up this very evening!)

Aaand....here you go!

Coconut Star Fruit Salad
Slice 6 star fruit, 3 bananas and 2 oranges into a glass dish.
Sprinkle with sugar to taste.
3/4 cup coconut milk (we used powdered coconut milk and water)
1/2 cup water with 4 teaspoons cornstarch mixed in.
Heat milk and water mixture till thick.
Let cool and mix into fruit. Best served chilled.

This made 9 small servings. Based on how well people like it, we'll make a little more next time!


Please excuse the un-scraped bowl...we should remember that next time....

Star fruit is a beautiful fruit! I didn't get a chance to play with my camera with them, these are Emily's pictures. Maybe next time! :)

I hope your evening meal was delicious and have a great week!

Oh and a fast quiz: The evening meal- Dinner or supper?

:D
