So we thought making French toast from frozen waffles would be a great idea, and we weren’t disappointed! We decided to go with warm savoury flavours to complement the cooling weather. You don’t even have to make these French toast waffles from the frozen ones, we included a basic waffle recipe below if you’d rather make your own.
It’s time to indulge in the last of summer’s stone fruits by making these nectarine milkshakes for your guests (or just for you!) this weekend. If you are having people over, we recommend you get a bit fancy and serve them mini milkshakes as they arrive. Set up a table with a selection of nuts, sprinkles and fresh fruit for a milkshake buffet that will be a hit with kids and grown-ups alike, much like this recipe. Spike them some rum for the adults and add a bit of pineapple for some extra zing.
The old favourite – steak – is the first thing I think about when I hear the word ‘braai’. So I thought I’d treat you to some of my favourite tips and tricks this week so you can get the perfect steak every time.
Dinner can literally be ready in 15 minutes with this tuna and pea pasta. We used orzo, those small little pieces of pasta shaped rice because it has the most amazing texture for a dish such as this. All you have to do is throw it all together.
These babies are fully loaded with all our favourite Mediterranean ingredients. For these stuffed mushrooms, we used portobellos because they are shaped like upside-down umbrellas, making them perfect for filling. But you can use any large flat mushroom.
Forget about pushing rice to the side of the plate as a staple side or a sauce soaker. With our delicious rice pot, it becomes a dish all on its own. This one-pot dinner is packed with spicy flavours from the chorizo and paprika, plus we added some white wine as well, because, well, why not? Tuck in!
If you are super active during the day or have a vigorous fitness routine, you’ll need to recharge your batteries with plenty of lean protein and veggies. Enter our vegetarian crustless quiche! Get your protein fix from the eggs and we all know how great broccoli is for you. Plus oats are great for assisting you with maintaining sustained blood glucose levels.
This incredibly cheap and easy meal is our ode to two-minute noodles. It’s also a super tasty freezer dish, so you can make a huge batch and portion it out for this week’s work lunches. We also added a dash of chilli and a splash of sherry to this stir-fry to warm you up.
The braai weather is almost gone so take advantage and squeeze one in this weekend. Make this beer bread to accompany your vleis. It’s really quick to make and doesn’t require any of the efforts of a traditional bread, but it still offers all the flavour.
Do you love the taste of jelly babies as much as we do? We decided to take things a step further for the long weekend and try to turn this flavour into a fun boozy treat. Try these babies out and let us know what you think.
