Chicken loaf

Hi everyone,

With summer around the corner, we'd all like to have nice quick and tasty meals to have whether hot or cold. So I put this recipe together and yes it was great, it turned out better than expected.

Here goes....

CHICKEN LOAF

500g chicken mince
150g fetta cheese - crumbled
1 egg
1cup quick oats
3tea sugar (raw) but if u dont hve white is just as good
1 tea salt
splash port
splash whorchestshire sauce
chilli flakes

lastely I added a teaspoon of dukkah a seasoning of sesame seed, cumin, coriander, sumac and almond . This is only if you wanted a middle eastern taste, but other flavours work just as well.

NB you might be able to find this in the supermarket or look for it in your local delicatessan.

Now the easy part, just add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Made a gully down the middle of the loaf afterthe meats being put into the loaf tin and put tomato sauce on. Gently cover the tomato sauce with the chicken mix.

I used a loaf tin lined with baking paper which helped keep the juices from being dried up while the loaf was cooking and being able to spoon it back over the meat afterwards. lol makes for easy cleaning too.

Bake in a pre-heated oven set around 200 degress for about 45 to 50 minutes.

Served my chicken with steam vegies.

Enjoy!!!!!

This birthday card really stumped me, but hopefully the bday girl will like it.
Used the Cricut gypsy, gypsy wandering, Storybook cart, lyrical lettering. SU stamp, die cut and soft pastels. by adding some numbers to the top right corner and some rhinestones balances out the card better.

Another old favorite SU Embrace life stamp set. Using the aqua pen to paint the flowers using LuminArte powders to give the image a little bit of shimmy.

This using the SU Friendly Flowers, Butterfly Prints, Spellbinders Nestabilities, SU butterfly punch. Trying to use the colour of orange which I don't find too easy for some reason. Hope you like how I used it. :)

yummy easy museli slice/granola

Hey guys,

Just came across a very easy and yummy recipe for museli slice/granola cereal
I have modified it to my personal taste, so enjoy experimenting with different foods. This was so yummy to eat as a snack....

Pre heat the oven to about 175 degrees

11/4 cups rolled oats
1 Tbsp Brown sugar
1/4 to 1/3 shredded coconut
1/4 cups crushed almonds
1/4 cups sunflower and pumpkin seeds
1/3 to 1/2 cup crasins, saltanas
50g melted butter
1/4 cups honey
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dash vanilla essesence

Melt butter, and add honey, vanilla essesence
Mix all dry ingredients well
Add the wet ingredients to the dry stuff and mix well

Once all the ingredients are mixed well spread well on a baking sheet
and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, depending on your oven

I left the slice to cool on the baking sheet so it could harden up to a massive slice, while cooking it will spread out out a little.
If your looking for more of a breakkie cereal break the slice up while still warm so u can get the clusters needed. I just break the slice up I have it as a cereal.

Store in an airtight container when cooled.

NB just remember all of the above ingredients is to ur own judgement whether you want it to be nutty, fruity, or how sweet you want the museli to be.
