RAINBOW JELLY AMAZING DESSERT

By -
This fun dessert takes a long time to make, however you do not have to sit around and wait while each colour jelly sets.

It is a striking dessert which will impress even the best of chefs/friends!


Preparation Time: About 4 hours including fridge time
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Makes: About 12 - 16

Ingredients
85 g strawberry jelly
85 g lime jelly
85 g orange jelly
85 g lemon jelly
85 g grape jelly
1¼ tubs sour cream or 15 tbsp

Method
This is quite easy to make - it just requires time in between for each layer to set slightly.  It should not be totally set in between each layer, and you need to let each layer cool a bit before pouring it onto the partly set jelly from the fridge.

Dissolve the first colour of jelly in 1¼ cups of hot water.  Stir very well.

Take out ½ cup and leave aside.

Put the rest (¾ cup) into a 20 x 20 cm pan.  I put baking paper on the bottom though this stuck quite badly to the jelly.

Put in the fridge for about 15 minutes or until it is set but not set completely.

Add 3 tbsp of sour cream to the ½ cup that you kept, and mix until it is well blended.


Gently pour this on top of the partly set jelly that you took out of the fridge.
Don't worry if there are small bits of sour cream in here
Allow it to set again for about  10 -15 minutes - depending on how cold your fridge is.

Repeat with the remaining jellies.  You will possibly need to make your fridge time shorter when you put the sour cream layer in the fridge, as this has already sat on the bench for a while.


Once you have done them all, put in the fridge till it is completely firm and set.

Cut into squares, whatever size you want!

Add a dollop of cream on to each one, if desired.
The sour cream layer on this dessert not only makes it look good but also gives the jelly a slightly creamy, delicious flavour.

POTATO SALAD WITH PEANUT BUTTER

By -

Potato salad makes a perfect side dish, or snack, however I ate this one with bread and some raw salad as a main meal. I often eat potato salad and you will find several recipes on my blog for different versions of potato salad. I like anything with potatoes in it and my recipes will reflect this - I far prefer potatoes to the sweeter, more healthy sweet potatoes! Potato salads are also great to take on a picnic with some thickly sliced buttered bread! This recipe has no mayonnaise in it like a conventional one, and is a nutty version of a conventional potato salad. Once again, I have used one of my favourites, peanut butter and I now always buy the "no added sugar" version of this amazing ingredient. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: 3 servings, as a main Ingredients 3 medium potatoes 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (I used a natural one which is not as sweet as supermarket ones) ½ tbsp whole grain mustard ½ tbsp vinegar 1 tbs

Pizza Toppings Using Leftovers

By -

I had family from Interstate, and did not have much in the house, so we decided to make our own pizzas.  These are far healthier than bought ones, and two of the people also had to eat dairy free, so I knew exactly what was in the pizzas. Pizzas are not really difficult to make, nor do they take a long time to make.  I usually make double the dough and freeze it so that I can just take it out of the freezer and make a pizza whenever I feel like it, or whenever I have leftovers! However, in this instance, I had no dough and was in a hurry so used a bought base, which is not as nice as my own! Pizzas are great as they can be made with whatever you have in the pantry, or the fridge, and the following are some suggestions for when you have unexpected visitors, or if you want a very tasty casual meal.  It is also a way to get children to eat vegetables, as they are often "hidden" when cut finely and cooked.  You could also put grated vegetables in the dough which children

Chicken with Walnuts and Hoisin Sauce

This is an interesting mixture of ingredients, and is both sweet and salty. I love food cooked using Hoisin sauce - this is the sauce that is used in Peking Duck which is one of my all time favourite foods.  It has an unusual taste, and goes very well with so many other ingredients, whether they are vegetarian or meat dishes. This meal has a rich and unusual flavour, and could be also served with steamed vegetables.  Cashew nuts could replace the walnuts if need be, however I had walnuts in my fridge so that is what I used in this instance. I served it over potatoes so that I could soak the sauce into the potatoes, and then I dipped fresh home made bread into the left over sauce!  This was delicious and well worth eating a bit less so you can fit this in. And remember, as I always say, my lovelies, do NOT over cook chicken breasts - they become dry and tough when overcooked.  If you JUST cook them so the pink is only just gone, they will be melt in your mouth delicious.
