Sweet Potato Wedges – Illustrated Recipe

January 13, 2017 | How To, Illustrated Recipes

It’s been a while between Illustrated Recipes… but that’s not the point.

You see I was watching Nigella before Christmas and she did some very special roast potatoes with this magical ingredient.

OK. Maybe hers wasn’t from Coles.

But I tried them, and oh, they’re good.

I even showed my ‘about to leave home’ son how to make them, in case he needs to make his new housemates like him more… perhaps because he’s spent too long in the shower… stuff like that.

And it’s so easy, but if you’re dealing with kitchen newbies, a picture does help.

So I give you ‘Delish Sweet Potato Wedges‘, and you know what, it works for normal potatoes too.

The steps in photos:

Sweet Potatoes

Slice your sweet potatoes into wedges

sweet potatoes on tray

Lay them out on a tray (or trays) with plenty of space around them

Chargrilled Peppers

Bring out the magic ingredient

Pour over the secret sauce

Pour the oil and capsicums from the bottle over your wedges – make sure every wedge gets some oil

At about the 25 minute mark, take out the tray and turn everything over (and add some green beans if you have them) – then put back in the oven for another 25 minutes

Yummo!

Serve in a bowl with some sea salt. Oh my.

And would you believe it? The same magic ingredient works on normal potatoes too.

The tray

Chop up your potatoes and microwave under gladwrap for 10 minutes. Then place on tray, pour over magic bottle, bake 25 minutes, turn over and bake for another 25 minutes.

Serve

Serve and increase your popularity.

And here’s your downloadable to print out for the kids. You’re welcome 🙂

Super Easy Sausage and Tomato Dinner – Illustrated Recipe

April 28, 2016 | Freebies, Illustrated Recipes, Printables

This really was very easy to make, and my 17 year old son loved it! So when you’re on a winner, it’s got to be illustrated. It wasn’t much to photograph though. So I didn’t. Best not to judge a book by it’s cover and all that.

Spinach & Ricotta Fillo Pies – Illustrated Recipe

March 25, 2016 | Illustrated Recipes, Printables

I see these in cafes often (actually, I don’t go to cafes often, but in all the times in my life I’ve been to cafe’s, it seems to me that Spinach and Ricotta Fillo Pies are often on the menu… it’s not a scientific study or anything).

So I thought I’d figure out how to make them.

Turns out it’s not that hard! And if you’ve got frozen spinach you’re already halfway there.

Happy days!

Lemon Sunshine Cupcakes – an Illustrated Recipe

March 14, 2016 | Freebies, How To, Illustrated Recipes, Printables

I needed something quick and special for lunchboxes the other day, and wanted to use lemons… but only had brown sugar. So I googled around and found this recipe that ended up being so delicious it’ll definitely be made again!

To be honest, I may have gotten distracted in my first run through and only added in about 1/3 of the flour, so that batch were flat and I ended up sandwiching two together to save them. And wouldn’t you know it, they were delicious too!

So I figure if a recipe can survive missing 2/3 of a fairly important ingredient, and STILL TASTE GREAT, it deserves a place here in my year of illustrated recipes.

Lamb Kofta and Tabouli Salad – an illustrated recipe

March 3, 2016 | Freebies, Illustrated Recipes, Printables

I’m absolutely loving my connection with the lovely Megan Neilson of ‘Cooked by me + delivered’ and I recently asked her permission to share her recipe for Lamb Kofta.

When my family tried Megan’s Koftas not long ago the meal was noteworthy because EVERYBODY* IN MY FAMILY LOVED IT – from 6 year olds to 52 year olds!

I have bought the ingredients and made it myself since then. My Wednesday Wonderers even drew the ingredients along with me a few weeks ago. I’d just say not to skimp on the lemon in the Tabouli and to chop the cucumber nice and small (Mr 17 year old thought slicing would suffice… and it didn’t really… but I was so glad he made it I didn’t say anything!).

So click to download the pdf of this brand new recipe and add it to your collection. You can cook it too if you like!

*except for my Vegan 14 year old who would have loved them if he ate meat. Sigh.
