Creamy Vegetable Bake

[Vagus]

It’s a Sainsbury recipe which I’ve made today. Took longer than I was expecting and made my back ache so I’m hopeful it was worth the effort, it does look and smell very appealing.
I really like one pot meals you can just shove in the oven, which this is, but it needed a lot of chopping, slicing, frying, mixing, etc, prior to shoving in the oven, my back just can’t take it these days.

I never see the point of toiling for hours to prepare one dish. The bu&&ers only eat it and all your hard work is gone in a flash!

Sounds nice.

I spent yesterday baking a loaf of bread, using a crusty loaf mix, a sponge cake and curry with rice. I rarely put a lot of effort into cooking but fancied a change. I enjoyed doing it and son and his dad enjoyed eating it :o)

I do agree in some way Naomi but the trouble is I like cooking, and eating. My back just doesn’t hold up these days and after half an hour, sometimes less, it becomes very painful so I just can’t do it anymore. I really miss spending time pottering in the kitchen..
That’s good tiggs, double enjoyment :)

And the vegetable bake was very, very tasty.
I used a mandolin veg slicer which has been hiding at the back of a cupboard for about ten or more years, in an effort to save time, which it did, and sliced the carrots, parsnips and potatoes very finely. It took a bit of getting used to but was well worth using.
