Food Fight Friday - Oatmeal for Breakfast
Raisins.....Oatmeal...
Sounds like a good breakfast to me!
Okay Okay
Adding White chocolate chips
may bump it out of the breakfast category
But WHATEVER!
Today I'm slinging some yummy
Jumbo Oatmeal Cookies your way.
One of the Chooch's teachers is leaving
so we thought we'd make a delicious parting gift.
So much more fun than apples.

Food Fight Friday - Dukkah dunk
Happy Friday Lovelies!
I suggest you add some swimmers goggles
to your protective wear today!
Today I'm slingin some Dukkah at you,
And I promise you...
it really stings if you catch it in the eye!
Egyptian Dukkah
1/2 Cup Roasted nuts (pistachio, hazelnuts, or other)
1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 Tbsp dried Thyme
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
2 Tbsp coriander seeds
salt & pepper (salt not necessary if using salted pistachios)
Toast the nuts in a hot oven for approx 15 min. stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Toast the spice seeds in the same way for approx 5-10 min
Toast Sesame seeds same way, for approx 5 min
Cool and combine in food processor 3-4 min, or use a mortar & Pestle
You want a dry crumb mixture.
*If you over process, oils released from the nuts can make it slightly pasty.
That's not what you want!
Store in airtight container.
Now just grab some crusty bread and good olive oil,
grab a seat in the garden and dip dip Dukkah
(can also be used as a rub on meats, in salads....you name it)
Enjoy!
And now, Last weeks Top Slinger...
Annie

been hit by Ketchup Cake!!!
You guys sling some wild stuff!
Right oh,
Arm yourselves and start slingin!
Then grab yourself a button

Food Fight Friday - Puff Puff Gooooooo
Happy Friday Lovelies.
Today I planned to meet a dear friend for Tea
after our School Runs.
Yesterday I forgot to Bake!
This Morning I needed a 5 minute wonder!
Enter the Magic of Puff Pastry.
Today I planned to meet a dear friend for Tea
after our School Runs.
Yesterday I forgot to Bake!
This Morning I needed a 5 minute wonder!
Enter the Magic of Puff Pastry.
I used a frozen Puff Pastry which I had placed
in the fridge overnight to thaw.
Woke up...Turned on oven
got me and the kidlet dressed.
Took pastry out of the fridge to soften for 15 minutes.
Made Kidlets breakfast...
Cored and sliced Apples thinly
Added lemon juice, brown sugar and pinch of salt.
Let that rest whilst making kidlets school snack.
Rolled out the now rested pastry and cut to desired size,
stacked on apples and into the oven it went.
20 minutes later....
Kidlet and I were fed, dressed and prepared to hit the road
With a delightfully warm and Yummy Apple tart!
For a flawless photographed instructional
you can get the exact recipe From Rees,
at The Pioneer Woman.
THEE best Recipe Blog!
(just try not to fall in love with her!)
Ummmmm sorry...we ate it all..
So I'm slinging Crumbs at you...
Last weeks Top Slinger was
Homemade Mamas
Valentine's Pretzels
in the fridge overnight to thaw.
