Thanks for this slice....... after reading some comments about it being a bit crumbly I reduced the coconut and the result is fantastic. Still a cake like slice but my girls love it. I swapped apricots for dates and threw in some sunflower seeds. My MIL is going to love them too!!!! I also used rapadura so I'm figuring they're kinda healthy!!!

Have made these biscuits a few times now - we all love them. I do find them oily (I use rice bran oil) but find it does firm up well in fridge. I have used combinations of choc chips, dried fruit and I've just made a batch with a handful of chia seeds in them. We love them!! Thanks!

Thanks for this one Judy - have made one similar over the years but had forgotten about it and needed to use up some silverbeet. VERY forgiving recipe, not sure how much rice I made  added some chick stock as didn't have any yummo garlic rice, added oodles of silverbeet, some peas that needed to be used and then realised I had run out of tasty cheese!!!  So just threw in some extra parmesan - I think about 100-120gms all up and the result was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! the only thing I would change next time is to cover the dish as I don't like the crunchiness of the rice on the top - still eating it though!!!

This is my new favourite dessert Unbelievably easy and incredibly delicious!!!! I don't let it sit in the fridge to set - just pop it in the freezer for an hr or so - I think Fundj said it could be ready in 1/2hr?  ? I've only tried dark choc but was thinking of using the coconut flavoured one next time (only because I've got some in the cupboard) Thanks achookwoman!!!!!

I've just finished eating the last 2 for breakfast - would love to make a cinnamon and apple version of these 2!!!!!!! They're very satisfying..........I'm going to add more cranberries next time or perhaps dates

Chocolate, cheese, Chocolate, cheese, Chocolate, cheese, Chocolate, cheese,
You get my drift & maybe some cashew nuts. I did buy nobbys mixed nuts this week
Its getting tougher too I reckon. When we have eb for 8 days in a row, I will put it up to $135 that week.
Thans Obbie, i think one week is going to be very interesting, vinegar, veg oil parmesan, sugar, salt, getting low on lots of things
I did find 2 bottles of rice bran oil in my pantry, what did I buy that for
H
FYI, rice Bran oil makes lovely EDC mayonnaise - I always use rice bran oil for it. It's a lovely substitute oil for lots of things. Proud of you all for trying to stick to your budgets. I don't stick to a budget but like Chelsea, I TRY to only go to the grocery store monthly so this keeps the bill down tremendously. It really eliminates impulse buying. Actually I think Chelsea's blog inspired me to try it. It's fantastic not being a slave to the supermarket - I rely on my F&V delivery each week and usually have to top this up at the local fruit shop depending on the amount of visitors. I'm reading this thread with interest!!!

Hope you've recovered AMy  Funny though, how we all react to situations though......... despite the fact that my stomach would've been squirming, I am happy to see slugs, bugs etc on my fruit and veg - we buy organic and like to know that other creatures will still eat the food we're eating

Wanted to give this a bump - just made the mix last night and popped in the oven this morning - too easy and UTTERLY delicious. I can't say enough about these healthy little morsels. I'm so impressed that we can eat them for breakfast without guilt. My girls are sitting here happily eating them and I must say they are perfect with a cup of hot tea on a cold morning. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!!!!! Will be making more - hopefully I'll take a picture next time!!!!! BTW - I used yoghurt to replace the milk content but also needed a few glugs of milk as my mixture was quite dry. These are not an overly sweet scone but I too thought it was a perfect amount of sweetness as you can always use honey/jam as a topping. Thanks Brazen!!!!!

I always buy organic, unhomogenized but used to buy A2. Love to support the farmers!!!!!
Gertbysea - I always freeze my milk and as long as it's not defrosted in sunlight - it's fine, just needs a good shake.

Well, it's a non- TM dish tonight (doesn't happen very often). Pork loin chops, pan fried chips and a big salad - we love salads but don't have them very often in Winter.....think we need to though as the winter kilos are already stacking on Have some TM chocolate ice cream lurking in the freezer so will have some of that for dessert - maybe that's why the kilos are coming on?

Just made Chelsea's Chow Mein TM - always popular with my girls. I used chicken today instead of beef - both are yummy

Well, been out all day and haven't used TM at all Very strange occurrence in my house. Just about to make some cheese sauce for a veggie bake and then Chelsea's Swiss Beef. Am looking forward to it after all the good reviews.

Hi Tam, I'd love to hear how your wontons turn out tonight!!
Hi Amy, The wontons turned out great - except I was impatient and didn't wait long enough for the edges to steam  . The kids totally loved them and I'll definitely be making them again.

Hi all, Thought I'd join this thread........used to contribute on the Best Recipes forum - always fun!!!!!! Today I've made my usual spelt/white bakers flour bread rolls - to have with Quirkys' delicious chicken and brown rice soup Orange cake EDC - hoping this will be nice - in the oven right now - great way to use up the oranges that seem to be accumulating in the fruit bowl. I'm going to try some wonton's in the varoma tonight (along with steamed veg and garlic rice). Hope they turn out alright!!!!!
