November 23, 2020 | After School Snacks, Budget Friendly, Freezable Meals, Holidays & Entertaining, Make-ahead Meals, Members only, Red meat, Vegetarian

Placed in a paper bag with a squirt of tomato sauce, it is a quick take-away lunch common to petrol stations and corner stores. Truth be told, the commercial meat pies are probably more mystery meat and ...

Breakfast Hash Pie

This Breakfast Hash Pie came about when my son was wanting me to make hash browns and I couldn't be bothered frying them individually. So, I came up with this 'lazy' version of a brekkie hash. We also have many mornings we have less than 20 minutes to eat and get out the door. So make ahead brekkie's are an essential part of my 'eating well' routine. The best thing about my Breakfast Hash Pie, is ...

Healthy Apple Pie – rustic style (with gluten, grain, dairy & egg free versions)

May 7, 2014 | Baked Sweets, Desserts

As the cooler months are upon us and apple season is in full swing, what better time to make a comforting, yet healthy apple pie? Apple Pie is my husbands all time favourite dessert, even though he rarely eats sweet things. But let's face it, it can be a bit time consuming to make. My compromise is this easy to make galette or tart style 'rustic pie'. It is much more forgiving if the art of ...
