Quick Bake Dinner

So, it was the day before and I was at a complete loss on what to make. I had to make something and it could not be just anything. It had to be tasty (for my children), nutritious and fun looking. Plus quick- I had to go with my mother to the doctor's. So here's what I made:

Quick Bake Vegetables


  • Take stock of what's in the fridge
  • I got baby corn, potatoes, spinach, onions, corn kernels, lots of cheese
  • Also got grated cauliflower- had prepared it for paranthas earlier
  •  Cut the assorted vegetables into whatever shapes you want
  • In a wok, put a dash of olive oil and add some garlic and any herbs you want- I used chives and lots of za'atr
  • Put the onions and whatever vegetables you have for about 5 minutes
  • Grease a baking tray and preheat the oven for about 15 minutes
  • In a bowl add about 1 cup refines flour, 50 gms butter and the veges from the wok- mix
  • Put the whole thing in the tray and grate cheese and cover the whole thing- we love it generously
  • Bake for about 30 minutes
  • Enjoy
Unfortunately my older boy just didn't like it and preferred to sleep hungry (a mother and son tiff) than eat my food :-(
But my younger boy loved it and had quite a bit. When I had it, it tasted great even though by then it was only lukewarm. 
Try it...you never know. I will repeat it and take my chances with K the next time as well!
