Deluxe Fried Eggs

A simple and delicious way to transform fried eggs into a substantial one-dish brunch or snack dish. I read the basic idea for this recipe somewhere recently, then couldn’t find it again, but I added to the original idea – which just had garlic sautéed in the oil before adding the eggs – when I made this for brunch yesterday. I used some wonderfully orange-yolked free range eggs which certainly added to the visual appeal! Everyone loved it, and I’ll be making this again! The proportions used could, of course, easily be varied.

Australian Cheese, Garlic and Chive Damper

Damper is a traditional Australian bread, made without yeast, and commonly made on a campfire in a cast iron camp oven. This is tweeked from Margaret E. Walker article in Outback Camping When Margaret was asked her what kind of tasty cheese, and learned that the word ‘tasty’ is used in Australia the way ‘sharp’ is used in the US. We thanked Margaret for helping us learn and had a good laugh at the thought of eating non-tasty cheese.

Pizza Dough (For Bread Machine)

Before you start make sure you bread machine has the dough setting. We often have pizza nights and use this recipe for a base, this makes up a crispy pizza base. This recipe uses Australia metric measuring tools – One Australian tablespoon equals 20 mls – Thank you Chef #223169 for the photo idea 😀

Fast Tomatoes With Basil and Balsamic

If you love tomatoes like I do, then you may enjoy this recipe. It’s a quick side dish/plate filler that doesn’t have too many ingredients, it’s healthy and tastes nice. Original recipe calls for Roma and Plum tomatoes but I use what is in season. This recipe comes from a book called “Purely Golden Door” by The Golden Door Health Retreats.

Herbed Lemon Chicken in a Crock Pot / Slow Cooker

This is a lemon herb garlic chicken dish which is made in a slow cooker to contain it’s natural flavours. When we served it the meat fell away from the bone. If you wish to increase the celery and carrot you may do so without dramatically change the flavour of the dish. I normally remove the skin off the drumstick, which I recommended with this dish but feel free to leave it on. Everyone enjoyed it in our house hold, hope you will enjoy it.
