LMS - you've obviously not heard of the book "deliciously decceptive" - it's ways to hide vegies in fun food for kids. if you google "cauliflower conspiracy" it has similar ideas...
Yes Deceptively Delicious and the Cauliflower Conspiracy have inspired me to help get vege's into Matilda. Its worked so well, she eats more without hiding now than she ever did before.
I can't say I have heard of those. I am lucky that Noah enjoys his veggies, maybe not the asparagus in last nights dinner but he likes other green veg. It probably won't last though and I will need those resources Actually come to think of it he didn't eat the eggplant or hot chips either :S I thought it looked pretty good myself and ate nearly the whole lot. I put photos in my blog.
mumstheword, I just made a quick stovetop mac and cheese from the taste website that was delish. Here's the recipe.
Best-ever Macaroni Cheese
Preparation Time
10 minutes
Cooking Time
20 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
* 400g macaroni
* 1 1/2 cups (300ml) cream
* 3/4 cup (185ml) milk
* 1 1/4 cup grated tasty cheese
* 1/2 cup grated parmesan
* salt and ground black pepper
* 1/3 cup dried breadcrumbs
* extra 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
* ground paprika, to serve
Method
1. Preheat grill to high and grease a large baking dish. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to packet instructions or until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
2. In the same saucepan, place the cream and milk over medium heat. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, then stir in the cheeses and add a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Stir over medium-low heat until cheese has melted, then return the pasta to the pan.
3. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, then transfer to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the pasta with breadcrumbs, extra cheese and a sprinkle of paprika. Place under the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes or until topping is golden and crispy.
So who is still trying to break the habit? I reckon this thread should be a sticky. And it needs a little bit of updating too...
I am after a couple of recipes....
The Maggi 'Cook in the Pot' Chow Mein Mince and Mediterranean Meatballs.
Basically, what seasonings do you put in your home made chow mein, and any suggestions on creating a similar sauce to the one for the meatballs. For the meatball sauce (for the packet), you add a tin of tomatoes, water and onion. But the sauce thickens a bit, and I would have a bit of trouble copying it. None of my recipes are very similar.
Since our budget is tighter now, I am using mince a lot more, but don't want to be limited to bolognese type things (which is as far as my mince knowledge goes without raiding my books, and they don't seem to have anything comparable). That, and the two boys love chow mein and the meatballs, so I need to make them yummy! Thank you!!!
