This is just a rough recipe which I sorta throw together !
It's approximate ingredients so it's all trial & error really !
Approx. 1 small onion chopped ( bout a cup )
Approx. 1 cup grated carrot
Approx. 1 cup grated sweet potato or potato
1 cup cooked red lentils
1/2 cup of chickpeas
3 cloves garlic crushed ( 4tsp )
Some Orgran flour or breadcrumbs ( these are gluten free ) to bind
Whatever herbs you like cummin, coriander, parsley whatever your taste ... alot is all to whatever I have on hand or the boys like. Same with the vegies really a lot can be interchanged & even red capsicum comes out good in them.
Cook lentils as per packet instructions.
Then throw all ingredients besides flour/ breadcrumbs in a processor to blend or use a stick blender this may mean doing smaller batches then mix those in after to then make the patties.
Cook in a little oil & serve !
I think that's it LOL ! As I said I just throw in whatever & hope for the best !

Cauliflower Pizza !
I made this for dinner tonite & have had a few requests from those on my FaceBook as to what it entails, my original post about it is HERE in my old Blog ( I no longer have access as it was linked through an old email account that I was stripped of access from. Nioce )
So Cauliflower pizza .... Yes I know it seems odd & all that but trust me it's great ! I actually got this off a parenting forum from one of the lubbley mums on there !
This can be played with a little to suit most dietary needs such as allergies/ intolerances or for those who are vegan.
Grate some cauliflower then for every cup of grated cauliflower add an egg ! Then add as much grated cheese as you want !
For the boys this means no cheese so I just threw in a dash of Nuttelex & tapioca flour to help with binding because I also excluded the egg ! I suppose you could use an egg replacer but as I have found in my travels/ research & through great advice info from allergy mums many of these are cultivated in eggs so if someone is highly allergic it would be something you would have to avoid.
This is what I call the 'poisoned' pizza before cooking in the oven ... Poison = Consists of anything dairy or containing dairy or soy ... Oh & then there is the fructose & wheat/ gluten issue also but we seem to be OK now with G having egg so will probably start using egg from here on in !
Dietary restrictions aren't always fun but when it comes to making sure it's making that restriction or a trip to the hospital I think it's a no brainer !
This one is the boys which sorta looked more like a base I would say ... Due to the flour I would imagine !
Anyways you cook the base in the oven for around 20mins on 220 degrees celsius & then basically start treating it like a pizza base ... Add toppings then throw under the grill for it all to melt into an oozy gooey mess !
This is the end result for the boys ... Yes please note that cheese has been used as a topping on part of this as Mr McBoof can actually tolerate cheese nowadays but only in small doses ! It just means him not having anymore cheese for the next 3 days so as to not overload his system.
So there ya have it !

Soooo things have been crazy ...
Which has meant blogging has fallen by the wayside.
I never did even get to start bringing over the old posts from my old Blog but will try in the next few weeks to be posting some of the old stuff I want to keep in here. I really hope to at least get back to posting weekly, I figure if I am aim for that then if I manage more, awesome !
As you will now have noticed I am actually a single mum now, I won't go into too much because well I am sure you can do without the gory details but obviously Mr Ooo & I parted ways for a few reasons one of which him wanting to start a new life. Ho hum.
Things have been a rather large learning curve in terms of getting myself into single parent mode but there is a silver lining in there somewhere with all that has happened & I plan to move onto bigger & better things for the boys & myself !
