Padkos does not have to be boring!

July 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

50 kids, a bus, a destination and a trophee to be won, That is my life for the next 4 days…..

Needless to say, padkos was a major part of all this. So if you are going on holiday, make padkos a little bit more interesting than just sandwiches and coffee!!

If you have time, stop next to the road, make a little fire and enjoy the journey!!

Ingredients
1 big olive ciabatta
1 big eggplant – sliced in 5mm slices lengthwise
olive oil
2 big organic tomatoes or about 8 sun-dried tomatoes
4 tbsp Pesto Princess Basil Pesto
fresh herbs of your choice. 2 tbsp cream cheese
4-5 slices of mature cheddar cheese

Method
Pre heat the oven, brush eggplant with some olive oil, season and roast in oven for 5-10 minutes or until the egg plant has browned. Alternatively, brown in a skillet on the stove. Slice ciabatta open lengthwise and start packing the fillings. You can basically use what ever fillings you have available!  Close the ciabatta and place in a grid that can close. Grill on an open fire(very low heat), allowing the bread to brown and the  cheese to melt and become all gooey. Serve with your favorite meat and a fresh salad.

Apricot and White Chocolate Blondies and other lunchbox ideas…..

I (heart) blondies

When I invented this recipe for the Apricot and White Chocolate Blondies, I had no idea that it would cause such a reaction in my family. After just one bite, hubby was ready to kiss my feet and the children were literally fighting each other for the last square to go in their lunch boxes! Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea or ideal for filling those lunchboxes.Reminds me of energy bars, just better!

Just in case you wonder what the heck a blondie is….. Blondies are brown sugar based dessert bars resembling  traditional chocolate brownies, except blondies’ predominant flavor comes from sugar and not chocolate although some may contain chocolate chips…

Chewy, moist and just perfect with a cuppa...
