Vicki Bickies

My friend Vicki is from Australia, and my daughter Adiya adores her. Possibly the only thing she adores more than Vicki are Vicki’s cookies (only kidding Vicki, she does love you more). These are basically ANZAC biscuits, but a bit different. Vicki uses slightly more coconut than what I’ve seen in the ANZAC biscuit recipes here on Zaar, and since golden syrup is hard to get here in Israel, she substitutes maple syrup. It’s not often my Didi brings home recipes from other mothers, so take notice of this one, it’s good! Thanks, Vicki, for sharing these with Didi (and me).

Mushrooms, Cheese, Eggs and Ham Breakfast Special

From Recipes+ a delicious breakfast dish, I have made this but scaled it back for 1, you could make in individual dishes and serve in those dishes, have posted for 4 as per recipe. They recommend you can use salami instead of ham, so if you like a bit of bite try hot salami.

Cashew and Parsley-Crumbed Chicken With Mustard Vinaigrette

A tasty chicken dish with easy-to-prepare salad greens, cherry tomatoes and red capsicums (or red bell peppers). Rocket, mesculun or baby spinach leaves are ideal greens. I always opt for baby spinach leaves. This recipe is from The Australian Women’s Weekly’s ‘fresh food fast: delicious no-fuss healthy recipes’.

Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Drops

These candies are quick to make, but allow 15-30 minutes for them to set up in the fridge before serving. Cook time is chill time. Very nice on a dessert tray…Posted for ZWT 5.

Cranberry and Orange Iced Tea

A glass of cranberry-infused chilled tea is a flavour sensation and the ultimate thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day Time to prepare doesn’t include 24 hours for ice cubes
