Banana Shake / Smoothie

This is a smooth healthy shake/smoothie that everyone could enjoy. Little Miss (DD) loves her to drink banana shakes/smoothies so I had to slightly modify this recipe for her to be able to enjoy it. I used a very ripe banana and didn’t have a fresh orange at home so I used orange juice. I used a hand held blender to pulp the ingredients together. Original recipe comes from ‘The Little Book of Alcohol-Free Cocktails’ by Hamlyn

Lemon Slice

Another New Zealand find. For a variation you can throw a handful of coconut into the egg mixture. Normal size of a slice tin is 35cm long x 20 cm wide x 4 cm deep.

Tomato Relish, Aussie Style

This is the best selling, fabulous tasting, world famous Tomato Relish as made by the “Boonooroo Brown Paper-bag Ladies” This is REALLY like granma used to make. If I buy “cooking tomatoes” and they are very pale, I add a small tub of tomato paste. You can add garlic, or herbs to this recipe, but I dont find it needs it. I always double this recipe, cause I am constantly being asked for it 🙂 I use good quality brown vinegar, but the my fellow Bag Ladies use the generic stuff.
