  1. I made half a recipe and it was great. I had to use white onion for the leek but the rest as written. DH really liked this recipe as he ate almost the whole recipe.
     
  2. Excellent! I only wish I had a rashers to make this properly- had to use streaky bacon, as that's all we have where I live in the US. Otherwise, fantastic!
     
  3. A new family favorite!!! DH doesn't like green beans so I doubled the spinach. WE INHALED this. Absolute comfort food. Made for the Aussie Swap.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
