4 Ingredient Meat Loaf

Another quick dinner I throw together and leave to cook. This one is a household favourite, though I don't cook it often. I don't generally measure this one so these are approximate quantities.

4 Ingredient Meatloaf
Serves 4


  • 250-500g mince
  • 500g sausage meat
  • 1 C of breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 -1/2 C of BBQ sauce (you can use tomato but we prefer BBQ)
  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl
  2. Place in loaf tin
  3. Bake at 180 deg. C for at least 60 min
  4. Drain off excess liquid before turning out onto a chopping board for slicing

Like I said easy. I generally serve with mashed potatoes and steamed veg

Lemon Cordial sweetened with home made Stevia syrup

Image
I've had the stevia syrup sitting in my fridge waiting for me to get around to juicing some lemons. Tonight I finally got around to it. The recipe I'm using for this lemon cordial is 3:2:1 lemon juice to sugar to water. I've kept that ratio for the lemon juice and the water and added the stevia by taste. And I believe the sweetness of the syrup will fluctuate a bit. The stevia syrup is brown and makes the concentrated look a little brown but once you dilute it to drink the colour change is not noticeable. This should hopefully be a good replacement to the lemon and barley cordial we often have. Lemon Cordial sweetened with home made Stevia syrup 1 Cup Lemon Juice approx 30ml Stevia syrup 1/3C of Water

Use herbs and spices Add nuts and seeds wherever possible Eat for your gut: include probiotic and prebiotic foods Fats are friends especially Ω3 Relax and enjoy food Avoid sweeteners and additives This list lives on my fridge as a reminder whenever I'm cooking.

Black Bean Burgers on Soda Bread Buns

Image
I was meant to put together a casserole last night but I didn't really think about dinner until far too late for mutton with needs to be in a slow cooker for a while to be tender. So I went searching for a recipe in my collection of books that I could put together in a reasonable amount of time with the ingredients I had on hand. I found a recipe for bean burger patties and realised I could make a quick soda bread as buns to make our own burgers with an extra trip to the shops. The original recipe used dried beans and would have taken too long so I worked with canned beans. Black Bean Burgers makes 6 reasonable patties 2 cans of black beans drained and rinsed 1 large or 2 small onions oil to fry 2 tsp oregano 2 tsp marjoram 1 tsp chilli 1 tsp beef stock 2 eggs 2-4 Tbsp breadcrumbs Mash the beans in a large bowl or pot (I find it easier to mash against a large flat bottom) Add onion, herbs and spices and mix well Beat in the eggs Mix through b...
