Sunday Sweeties – Recipe Linky – As Happy as Pigs in Mud

categories: Link Ups, Recipes

This gorgeous cake has been popping up on my FB newsfeed all week. Isn’t it delightful? I can’t find the original post to give credit but will keep searching. I also want to see how it was made. It would be ideal for Dora’s Peppa Pig Party that’s coming up next month.

We made our own pizza dough for dinner last night and took it over to mum’s house to create gourmet pizzas. We made it in our bread maker which was incredibly simple BUT we had lots of trouble shaping them into circles. Any tips? I’d love to hear them.

Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky – Spice it Up (Valentine’s Cookies)

categories: Kids in the kitchen, Link Ups, Recipes

Hi lovelies,

Hope you’re having a sweet weekend. spacer

From Thursday:
I’m feeling the love here on Valentine’s Day after receiving a lovely gift from my hubby. So, I decided to make him a sweet and spicy treat, Sugar and Spice Cookies.

The cookies I baked are a nice twist on the traditional sugar cookies. They are not low sugar or butter but they sure taste nice, especially with the addition of the spices.

Sugar and Spice Cookies

2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
250g/1 cup softened butter
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract

* Combine flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in a large bowl.
* In a separate bowl, beat caster sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add an egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined.
* Gradually add the flour mix to the wet ingredients until combined.
* Put mix into fridge for 2 hours or more until it’s firm.
* Pre-heat oven to 180˚c.
* Roll out dough on a floured board to about 1/2cm thick.
* Cut with your favourite cookie cutters.
* Place on baking trays lined with baking paper.
* Cook for 8 – 10 minutes or until golden.
* Allow to sit for a few minutes to harden before placing on a wire rack to cool.

Sunday Sweeties – Recipe Linky – Away again

categories: Link Ups

Hi from our camping site!
We are enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend. I haven’t done any camp cooking up here but enjoyed my cereal and cuppa over looking the glassy lake. I hope you’re having a great weekend wherever you are.


What have you been cooking?

Sunday Sweeties – Recipe Linky – Great balls of meat

categories: Link Ups, Recipes

Thank you for linking up your recipes last week. They were fab!

Last night I threw together a quick recipe for meatballs. I didn’t have any fresh herbs so I used some basil pesto. The family thought they were tasty. I served them to Dora without the sauce to save me having to clean up the mess. She has a habit of ‘washing’ her face and hair with anything that is liquid at the moment.
spacer

Meatballs
500g beef mince
2 slices wholemeal bread (a few days old) blitzed into crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp basil pesto
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 brown onion, diced
a shake of dried Italian herbs or oregano
1 tbs tomato paste

Sauce
2 tins diced tomatoes
2 tbs tomato paste
1 tsp brown sugar
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper, to taste (optional: chilli flakes for grown ups)

Method:
1. Brown onion and set aside to cool
2. Once cooled mix together meatball ingredients
3. Roll them into tablespoon sized balls.
4. Brown them in a pan on medium heat.
5. Add the sauce ingredients and allow to cook on a low heat (covered) for another 20 minutes.

Serve with spaghetti.

Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky (on Monday) – Camping Cob Loaf

categories: Link Ups, Recipes

Hi ya, I had very good intentions of posting our weekly linkies from our campsite this week. Lack of power (after a Peppa Pig marathon in the car) prevented that… so my apologies.

I prepared this Picnic Cob Loaf before we left to go on our camping trip. It was nice not to have to prepare food when we arrived. It was ready to go and really tasty.

Hope my fellow Aussies are enjoying this Australia Day long weekend and you’re staying safe if you live in the flood affected regions.

Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky – A moment on the lips…

categories: Link Ups, Recipes

Look away Alicia. Here’s a photo of what my mother prepared for our dessert last night, trifle. My hips will feel it this week but it was delicious at the time.

spacer

This is very similar to mum’s recipe. I don’t like alcohol in desserts (some soak the sponge in rum) so this is a good rendition of this recipe.

No baking recipe from me this week as I’ve been a bit under the weather. As always I can’t wait to see your recipes. You have so many delicious ideas.

Have a great day!

Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky – Getting Messy

categories: Link Ups, Recipes

Hi there sweeties,
(image from pinterest – will upload a pic of mine when I make them)

Source: Uploaded by user via Terrie on Pinterest

 

This is a favourite Summer dessert of mine. I’ll be making it when my Aunty visits next week. Here’s how I make it:

Eaton Mess

1 sml tub whipping cream
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 packet of small meringues
1 tbs icing sugar

Whip the cream until stiff.
Pop the raspberries in the microwave until defrosted and slightly warm. Mix icing sugar in with the raspberries, mooshing them up a bit as you go.
Crumble the meringues into rough pieces.

Find some nice high glasses and layer the cream, raspberry mix and meringues until you reach the top of the glass. Pour any remaining raspberry mix and place some more crumbled meringue over the tops of each.

Oh boy. Simple and delish.
