Recipe: Sausage Rolls


After being so over store bought tasteless sausage rolls (with that grey mixture that is not appetizing at all!) wanted to make it at home. This recipe was perfect! Love that it incorporates vegetables and herbs which adds colour and of course lots of flavour!

Sausage Rolls (Source: Alive And Cooking)

Ingredients

500g minced pork
500g minced veal
1 brown onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, grated
2 sticks of celery,finely chopped
¼ bunch of curly parsley finely chopped
Salt and pepper
2 eggs
4 sheets of pastry

Method

Mix together the pork,veal,onion,carrot, celery and parsley then stir in the salt and the pepper and 1 egg. Divide the mixture into 4 and evenly distribute the mixture along the length of the pastry sheets. Brush with egg wash, then simply roll and crimp together; score lines on the surface of the pastry about 5cm apart then brush the rolls with egg wash.


Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 200ยบC for 25-30 minutes. 


Enjoy!

First taste: Botanica Cold Pressed Juice



This was a couple of months ago; wasn't feeling so great health wise. But thanks to my sweet husband; he bought this juice for me.  

Must say it was the best store bought juice I have ever had. It was fresh,simple and free from preservatives! The way one would want their juice.  Perfect if you are on the run and don't have enough time to make your own.

It was just what I needed. Felt much better afterwards. 

There are three other juices to choose from: 'Bondi Beach' (Pineapple,carrot,ginger and lemon), 'Citrus Spice' (Lemon oils, natural Mexican agave and Cayenne pepper) and 'Sweet Beetroot' (Beetroot (41%),carrot,celery,ginger,red apple and lemon)

The only bad thing I have to say (which will effect only some) is that .. 
It may contain nuts!!


Take Care,

Once I calmed myself a bit managed to have some of this stunning,powerful concoction.  How pretty is it? 
Wow.

There I was thinking it was a birthday brunch for my beautiful other half...... only to find out that.. *speechless* The photos speak for themselves! haha  I am still struggling to put my words together... I was shaking,I could barely eat any of that cake (dw I had some when I got home and it was just yummy! :3). I was just in utter shock. I mind just couldn't process what was happening. Surrounded by our friends... it was just beautiful.. (so underrated) I can't thank them enough for taking part of this momentous occasion. Truly grateful! Much love.

Look out for more posts... (loads of catch up posts also) of my many wonderful food adventures before and after this wonderful moment.

Bread Pudding


Such a easy dessert to make;great way to use left over stale bread. Here's the recipe I used.

Ingredients

6 slices day-old bread ( I used raisin bread; just whatever stale bread you have laying about)
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup of raisins (Optional)
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
3/4 cup white sugar (personally prefer using brown sugar)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped
















ENJOY!!
