We can’t ride to our full potential if we dont eat good food.

Cooking is enjoyable and rewarding when you get it right and it is not difficult if you choose the right recipes.

I picked up a packet of pasta and a jar of sauce last night for a quick, easy and healthy feed and on the pack was a sticker pointing me to this website where you can download 2 free books of recipes from Latina.

I am going to move the laptop from the shed to the kitchen (rather than print) and get started cooking

Latina recipe books

Got any good recipe ideas?
Post here.

The food in the book looks too posh for me

I make good potato skins though. Get a few large potato’s and cook until soft inside. Cut spud in half along length and carefully scoop out potato. Mash potato wish onion and grated cheese (add bacon and herbs if you prefer) and then place back into potato skin.

Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and grill until browned Awesome food!

I do a thing called Vegemite on toast, its a detailed and long recipe but I will do my best to share it with you all

First I get some toast

Then I get some vegemite

I then put the vegemite on the toast, yes crazy I know but that’s the thing, here is one I prepared earlier :laugh:

Rocky Road:
all weights are approx. . if you don’t like the finished product, next time you make it add or subtract what is to your liking.

400 grams Dark chocolate (i use Nestle dark choc melts) this makes a big batch so 1/2 or even 1/4 the amounts for the first go and work it from there.

250g unsalted cashews

250g paw paw chunks, dried paw paw or dried pear

1 bag of marsh mellows, can’t remember the size of the pack.

i use those silicone baking trays.

i put the choc melts in the backing tray, heat gently on the side of our wood fired stove

but sit the tray on a steel tray so prevent spills, sit it over a bowl of hot water to melt the choc in the silicone baking tray, this saves on clean up.

put 1/2 the choc bits in the tray and once it is melted add the other 1/2 in small amounts as the previous lot added has melted, until it is all added and melted

chop the paw paw into about 1cm size bits, i use kitchen scissors to cut the marsh mellows in 1/2

once all the choc is melted, add all the nuts, paw paw and mash mellows into the choc and stir until all other ingredients are coated in choc and loosely push it down just so you don’t get big gaps in the mix.

put in fridge until set, turn it out, cut it into rough bits and enjoy.

I did stick a recipe for Mrs Eagles Damper Dip on here a while back,,,
It was a hit at a couple of OBT social events, getting devoured in record time :blink: :laugh:

not sure which thread it was in, so I will look for it & stick it on here when I find it

Here it is, the recipe for a winter dip,,,,
Now TB has to set up the thread we talked about at the D`s BBQ on Sat night:P

Contents-
1x Large Crispy Damper from Bakers Delight (or bake ya own),
1x Bread stick, broken into bite sized bits
1x Red Capsicum (diced)
6x slices Leg Ham (diced)
1x tub Sour Cream
1x block Philly Cream Cheese
1x tub Philly spreadable Cream Cheese
1x packet French Onion Soup Mix

Instructions- Place Cheeses, Sour Cream & Soup Mix in saucepan, stir continuously over LOW HEAT till mixed together
Add Ham & Capsicum, stir thru till all is heated thoroughly

Cut the top out of the Damper (large hole) and remove enough bread inside to make a large pocket, place the hot Dip into the Damper Pocket

Place the Damper with dip inside on a large plate, surrounded by bite sized buts of the bread you removed earlier, also the Bread Stick can be broken up to give more bread pieces.
NOW SCOOP THE HOT YUMMY DIP OUT WITH THE BREAD BITS & ENJOY

Here’s a good refrence site for food storage times and methods….

Keep it or toss it?

Recipes here are mostly too fancy for me to bother with but it is another source of fine food ideas….

Has anyone got a good recipe for Lamb Shanks?

They did them on Better Homes and Gardens last week but I wasn’t recording it and the recipe is not on their website it looked easy too.

I love lamb shanks.

also try adding some raspberry lollies ( jube type) cut up into the mix or glace cherries cut up – whetever your preferance.
bit of dessicated coconut also nice- not too much.
