Cherished - thank you hon! It was great to have you for lunch and I'm glad you liked the soup and banana bread! Recipes are below...
Dr. Tal - How were the bt results? Hope things on the m/s front are improving too.
Roasted Sweet Potato and Garlic Soup
1 kg chopped sweet potato
1 chopped onion
1 head of garlic,broken into cloves and peeled
2tsp olive oil
6 cups vege stock
250g Light spreadable Philly cheese
Toss sweet potato, onion and garlic in olive oil. Roast on a lined tray at 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
Put veges in a large saucepan with stock and bring to the boil. Remove and allow to cool a little before blending. Return to saucepan.
Whisk Philly into the soup until smooth, simmer for 5 minutes until hot. Serve sprinkled with herbs (e.g parsley, basil, thyme, chives etc) and bread/toast.
Banana Bread
(I have adapted this recipe, and I change it every time I make it, so you can muck around with it and leave out the nuts or add extra dried fruit etc)
2 cups SR flour
1tsp bicarb soda
100g chopped nuts (I use walnuts or slivered almonds)
1/3 cup sultanas or dates (or use a mixture of both)
cinnamon to taste
1 Dessert Spoon of honey
1/2 cup apple sauce/puree
1 cup milk
1 cup (about 2) mashed bananas
Sift flour and bicarb. Add nuts, dried fruit and cinnamon, stir. Fold through honey, apple sauce, milk and bananas. Pur into a lined loaf pan and bake at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan. Serve by itself or with butter (if you're being less healthy!).
It freezes too!
