Come dine with me?

So my first night back at home after my first year at uni I decided to treat my family to my (unexperienced) cooking skills. My mum (and now me) is a huge health freak and veggie lover, so decided to whip up some dishes and give her a break from the dinner chore.

First was the Griddled Asparagus with Parmesan and Balsamic vinegar

-Trimmed the ends off, glazed with olive oil and grilled for 10 minutes




-Once cooked drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and decorated with parmesan shavings



and then decorated with balsamic glaze, mmmmm




Next dish was Roasted Mozzarella filled Peppers with Chilli & Pine nuts

- Drizzled in olive oil and baked for 15 mins until softened





 

-Added a chunk of mozzarella and allowed it to melt and brown under the grill


Then covered in chilli pine nut dressing:

1 lemon
1 crushed garlic clove
sprinkle of Chili flakes
2 spoons pine nuts
3 spoons of olive oil



Last but not least was Spinach & Feta Filo




Nomnom. Meal with a view. It all went down a treat... which I am now doubting is good news as mum already has her next requests in for me. 
But deffo worth a shot even if your a complete beginner like me- all done within an hour and looks pretty pro :)
