Simple, Delicious, Healthy (Mostly) Food.

Lunch time and the worms were biting! What to eat that's satisfying but not too fattening? Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Got it! "Smash". One of my favorites!

You'll need:   1  x  large egg, 1 bread roll of your choice, 1/2 Avocado, 1/2 lemon, approx 6 leaves fresh mint, small piece of low fat feta, salt & pepper.  Extra: either 1 chorizo sausage cut in half, or some bacon.

If your having the extra: put your bacon or sausage under the grill to cook out as much fat as possible, and if it's bacon I like it crispy.

Heat water in a saucepan with salt & vinegar for your egg to poach in.
Slice your roll in half and lightly toast it.
While your water is heating up for your egg, "smash" your Avocado in a bowl, chop your mint and add, then crumble your feta and mix it in.
Put your toasted (not buttered) bun on your plate and sit it in a warm oven to keep it warm.
Keep an eye on your meat and keep turning it. When done place on paper towel to absorb as much fat out as possible. Put in oven to keep warm.

Break your egg into your boiling water and cook to your desired liking. I like mine runny yolk, set white.
When the egg is nearly done, take out your plate and toast, put your "smash" mix on top, divided between the 2 pieces, then add your crispy bacon to one piece and your poached egg to the other.
Squeeze lemon juice over the lot, yes on the egg, sprinkle with salt & pepper to your liking, I like to then break the egg so the yolk runs over my toast.

Sit down and tuck in!! It's delicious, healthy (mostly) and easy.

Wash it all down with a pot of tea or coffee if you prefer.

Great Places To Visit - Sanders Apples U-Pick and Orchard Tours. Three Bridges Yarra Valley Victoria Australia.

Like to do something a little different? Love fresh home grown produce? An apple a day keeps the doctor away, or so they say. So why not treat yourself and the family and friends to a new experience. U-pick apples. That means you get to go into the orchard and pick your own fresh apples! You can have a guided 45 minute tour walking or for more fun for the kids (any age) a tractor tour! See first hand how an orchard operates and gain an understanding of the apple growing process.  Great education for the kids to learn how their food is grown and produced. Not just the product on the shelf in a store. Want to have a picnic with the kids? No better place than Sanders Apple Orchards , Three Bridges, Yarra Valley, Victoria. First you can take your time wandering through the rows of apple trees, hand-pick your apples straight from the tree and enjoy them with your picnic lunch in the beautiful surrounds. Fresh apples for dessert of course! The kids will love them, and so wil...

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

 Perhaps I'm a little prejudiced, as Tocumwal is my home town, but I've always loved the Murray River Red Gums and watching the river & the bird, animal life here. All year around it delights me. Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like.

BIG variety for good old schnitzels, salads & chips to take-a-way favorites, great Coffee & Cakes and Bakery delights to tempt the taste buds!!  If you're an Artist or Photographer then Toc is a plethora of diverse landscapes to draw (pun intended) your attention. I for one have never tired of its beauty.  For the traveler's in their campers or caravans Toc has a selection of options for you to...

My Favourite Recipe Book for Slices -The Australian Women's Weekly Little Squares & Slices

Well I can only tell you that baking was boring and uninteresting before by dear sister-in-law introduced me to this wonderful cookbook.   The Womens Weekly Little Squares & Slices. The easiest, tastiest and some are even healthy little treats that you can make, encourage you to bake for kids fairs, church fundraisers etc.  A few of them even freeze well, so I have a day where I cook up the freezable ones. Then I leave an assortment of (usually cook 3) them in a cake tin on our kitchen table (the gathering and eating place) and freeze the rest cut and ready to go with baking paper between the layers. That way I just take out a little of each at a time (there's only hubby and I at home now) and we don't "pig out" on them before the slice goes stale.  It's also handy when friends/family drop in unexpectedly as you can go to the freezer and take some out and in about 5 mins they are ready to eat, depending on the slice. My favourite to freeze is chocolate ca...
