Leek & Deli Chicken Mini Pies

This is another fantastic use of Deli Chicken from Real Meals. We call these ‘pies’ in our house, if the word quiche was mentioned, my 3 cherubs would not touch them, lol! They are great for picnics, lunch boxes, parties, and weekend brunches. Makes 12 mini quiches. 1 leek 1 clove garlic 20g veg oil 30g brown sugar […]

Sticky Slice

I must warn you… this slice is incredibly sweet, gooey and really yummy! My kids fight over who is going to get to lick the bowl.  Adding the carob powder into the base is optional, it is still yummy either way. Have included a photo of both. Base: 90g cashews 2 eggs 120g white sugar […]

Vanilla Syrup

This is a beautiful syrup that can be used over ice cream, with pancakes and waffles, in milkshakes or my favourite way is in coffee / decaf. This is a beautiful syrup that can be used over ice cream, with pancakes and waffles, milkshakes or my favourite way is in coffee / decaf.
