Beef Stir Fry – Asian Style

Preparation time does include marinade time, just to allow the marinade to soak into the beef. To get neat thin slices of beef I freeze the beef for 45 mins and then slice thinly, giving me the perfect cut. I don’t eat red meat but Hubby and Little Miss (DD) love beef and they enjoyed this quick recipe. Original recipe comes from Annette Sym’s which was featured on Channel Nine’s Extra but I have twinkled with it

Zucchini and Basil Soup

A quick-to-prepare, low fat, inexpensive and yummy soup, adapted from a recipe I found in the Australian magazine ‘New Idea’. Not sure exactly when, but I think from 2005; it’s one I cut out of the magazine some time ago, and have made several times since then. Like most soup recipes, it’s extremely verasatile: you can add other vegetables that you have on hand that need to be used. I’ve added baby spinach leaves that needed to be used, and on one occasion, I added a packet of lentils. If you add other vegetables, you will probably need to add more stock. BTW, 750g = 1½ pounds.

Outback Steakhouse-Style Dark Bread

I know there’s a couple version out there . . . but this is as close to the real thing you can get! No food coloring here! I bake exclusively with instant yeast, however I’ve given directions for both. Original recipe is from Gloria Pitzer (queen of copycat) however I’ve made some minor changes! Time does not include rising time. NOTE: DO NOT USE BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES! I believe a few of the reviewers have used the wrong molasses!

Low-fat Zucchini Slice

A light & healthy snack or side dish – great if you have an abundance of zucchinis. Omit bacon for a vegetarian option.
