❤ Ola Foodies ❤

I am really impressed with the entries that have come in this week.
You peeps are outdoing yourselves!!
I have also been receiving a lot of positive feedback
from the general public as to how much they
enjoy searching the #whatscookingchallenge tag
to see a world of culinary ideas that are realistic,
easy to make and super tasty!

There have however, been SO MANY awesome entries
that I cannot upvote, resteem or feature in posts like this one -
because they are not adhering to the updated challenge requirements...
So guys... pretty please... ALWAYS check my latest
#whatscookingchallenge post to see if there have been any changes
to the structure of the challenge.
I would hate for any of you to miss out on
being able to share your dishes with all our challenge followers!

I am SUPER excited to get to the latest entry shares!!!

And if you have not joined in yet.....
WHY NOT?!! haha

NB!!

The details for the contest are at the end of this post...
And on that note, I have made one PRETTY important change
to the rules of this challenge... so PLEASE take a read through
the updated details, because only those that follow ALL the criteria,
will reap the additional benefits...mkay ;)

Right... let's get to it!

Here's what I have been up to in my "office" haha...

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

(almost) Low Carb Shepherds Pie with Grated Cucumber, Tomato, Chutney and Feta.

Over the last few years I have sacrificed many of my favourite
comfort food meals, because I pretty much cut out ALL carbs.
But after some time, this gets a little long in the tooth,
so you learn to find "other" ways to bring those old "loves"
back into your life...

And once you start exploring that avenue,
which I did several years ago -
you will realise that it really isn't that hard to
create an "almost" equal...

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Pork Belly Roast with Sweet Butternut Mash, Fine Green Beans and Beetroot Juice.

Sometimes it is the simplest things that are the tastiest!!!
The other night I decided to do a flat pork belly roast...
which is as simple as pie really!

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Griddled Onion Fillet Steak Sandwich with a Mushroom & Lemon Veloute Sauce and Roast Veg

Saturdays are generally rugby days here in SA,
and sports calls for MEAT!
Now, I love steak nights at the best of times,
but I wanted to change it up a little -
so instead if buying two separate T-bone or sirloins etc.
I opted for a large fillet and a bit more finesse on the plate
than the usual "steak nights" offer...

Ok, so now...
let's go check out what everyone else has been cooking up!

Vegetarian Pad Thai in my way! 👌

By: @rado21ste

I really appreciate Thai cuisine because you can find a lot of interesting flavors and colors in it. In addition, the kitchen is extremely fast to make and thanks to the availability of many vegetables also very healthy.😋

CARNITAS - How To Make Mexican Roast Pork Like A Pro - Food Photography Cooking

By @tacostate

Hello Food Fans! It's Jim aka Taco State and I'm super excited to share this Mexican classic with you. The first time I successfully made pork this good, I may have actually floated on air. I was ecstatic because previous to doing it myself, I had to rely on exceptional Mexican restaurants to satisfy my pork carnitas cravings. And I'll be honest, 'good' Mexican restaurants are a scarcity on the East Coast of the United States.

#Ulog Ep. 3 Rustic Cooking "Oven Roasted Short Ribs"

By: @watersnake101

Here is my entry for #whatscookingchallenge by @jaynie
Also my share for @surpassinggoogle's #ulog celebrating YOU and life.
I love cooking whenever I have time and some of you may already know that. Most of the time I just try and search for recipes online and just add a little twist of my own. Today I would be cooking a dish which is one of my wife's favorite. She has been asking me to prepare this for days now. Do we have all the ingredients? I searched the refrigerator for anything that I could use. So let's see what we have.

INTRODUCING THE

🍒

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE CHALLENGE

In addition to being a complete wine glutton hehe, I am also a HUGE foodie as my @steemitbloggers family know well… I absolutely LOVE to cook (and eat...lol) - always experimenting with different ingredient and flavour combinations. I seldom follow recipes verbatim – most of the time, I will whizz through them, glancing briefly at the ingredients and method – then heading off to the supermarket, forgetting most of what I have read on the recipe and then improvising,
ending up with something totally awesome and unique!

I know how much I love pushing the boundaries and experimenting in the kitchen, no matter how outlandish the ideas may seem to others. I also love to learn from others and then adapt the ideas to my own tailored tastes. So I thought it would be awesome to see how creative other people get in their kitchens... whether it is a "pimp'd" toasted cheese sandwich or a "rebel" gourmet appetiser.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Yes, here comes the boring recipe part
with rules and boundaries... JUUUST KIDDING!
