So in our house Belinda is the favourite - well she's Talias favourite - because she wears glasses Mumma - I want to wear glasses - HMM No you don't- Though what chance does she have with Richard and I both glasses wearers?
Diner tonight is
Meatballs and Spaghetti
Love this one -so simple, and the girls gobble it up
woollies does the meatballs already in the butchers section... Coles doesn't -so its up to you
Me I do the woolies thing but heres a link to recipe on www.taste.com.au if you don't have a woolies near you
2 dozen meatballs
Jar of pasta sauce ( tomato one ) - I use one of the garlic and herb ones and add more LOL
Tin crushed tomatoes - herb and garlic again...
Onion
Garlic (crushed) 1 tablespoon)
Spaghetti
Grated Cheese
Fry onions in some butter until translucent - add tablespoon of garlic
Place in bottom of casserole dish
Pour tin of crushed tomotoes into the casserole dish -mix garlic and onion through
Drop the meatballs in
Open jar of pasta sauce cover the meatballs
Put lid on and cook for 40 minutes in moderate oven
With 5 minutes to go remove lid and add grated cheese until lightly browned or melted
While meatballs are cooking - boil water and cook up spaghetti
Serve in deep bowls with a fork and extra grated cheese on top.
A variations on this - I have used a mushroom pasta sauce and added in extra mushrooms with the onion (cooked them up first) and served with rice instead of pasta - Its good too!
still cooking...
Zert - Beater Licking Good Lemon Cheesecake Slice
Seriously this is so good my husband will bring my home flowers when he knows I have made this
won't you Richard??- actually even perfume or a new lip gloss would be good..
Anyhow -- so yummy and sooo simple- really you have to try it.
packet of lemon cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
400gms cream cheese (2 and a bit blocks)
1 tub sour cream 250 gms
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon
Open packet mix and put aside one cup of it
Mix packet mix 1 egg and oil together - I just use a fork
Line a tin with alfoil and spread evenly across the bottom
Bake in moderate oven for 10 minutes
while that is cooking
In a mixer bowl place everything else mix until creamy and good
Pour over the top of your base
and cook for 35 minutes.
Leave cool - (actually now is the time to put the meatballs in!)
To serve dust with icing sugar and cut into slices.
If you're being very flash - or you want the lip gloss perfume and flowers then serve with a fresh strawberry or two and some cream.
I don't have strawberries so the cream will have to do.
Enjoy
