Yummiest Muesli Bars!!

Posted by Anita Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:25:00 GMT

As my wonderful Husband has pointed out on quite a few occasions recently I do have the odd hippy tendency. Also our little girl who becomes hungry a lot while we are out and about chows down muesli bars like they are going out of fashion! Now while I was perusing the ingredients list of one of the brands I had been buying I found that not only did it have a bunch of numbers listed but also it had more sugar per 100g than the biscuits I buy as a treat and was overcome with a case of the hippies. So I cruised the internet looking for a recipe for home made bars. This Recipe is a bit of a mashup of a few of those but it works a treat for me!!

The Recipe:

4 cups dry ingredients

You can use any muesli-type mixture I use:

Rolled oats

ground linseed

pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, sesame seed

nuts (any kind on hand)

wheat-germ

1 cup dried fruit (any kind)

a tablespoon cinnamon or mixed spice

1/2 cup each Tahini and Honey

Mix dry ingredients, spice and dried fruit together. Microwave honey and tahini till honey is liquid then mix with other ingredients. Use glad wrap over your hand to stop mixture sticking to you and form into short logs. I have tried cooking the mixture then cutting but it is generally to crumbly. Pop in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius and cook for 10 minutes or till golden. Store in airtight containers.

This recipe makes heaps and keeps us going for up to 3 weeks.

Daves Snapper

Posted by Anita Fri, 21 Apr 2006 23:57:00 GMT

No, no, this does not happen to be any of the Daves we know but he certainly does know how to make a good fish dish. I came accross this recipie when after one of our successful fishing trips I had made fish green curry an fish red curry and was starting to get a bit sick of the whole curry thing so I googled fish recipies. This is very tastey and a bit freasher tasteing than coconut fish curries:

Dave’s Snapper

  • Snapper
  • Sweet white onion (sliced)
  • Celery (diced)
  • Garlic (minced)
  • Peppers (diced-red, yellow, green for color)
  • Hot pepper (optional)
  • Olive Oil
  • Italian Stewed Tomatoes (1 can)
  • Parmesan Cheese (shredded)

Using a non-reactive dish cover the bottom with slices of sweet white onions and lay you fish fillets on top of onions. Sauté celery (diced), a clove of minced garlic, diced peppers (for color use red, green, yellow) and if you would like to “kick it up” add a diced hot pepper in Olive Oil (I definatly recommend this). Add sautéed vegetable on top of fish and pour Italian Stewed Tomatoes over top vegetables. Bake in oven at 360 degree for about 12 to 15 minutes. A minute or two before fish is done spread some (lots) shredded Parmesan Cheese over the top and slide back into the oven to finish.
