CARAMELISED ONION DIP

INGREDIENTS

2 onions, sliced

1 Tbsp. butter

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonaise

1 Tbsp. parsley, chopped

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt butter in a frypan over low heat.

Add onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally until caramelised. This should take around 30-40 minutes. Taste. Onions caramelised perfectly without sugar, but if you have a sweet tooth, you can add a teaspoon of brown sugar at this point and cook for a further few minutes if desired.

Let the onions cool and chop if desired.

Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, onions, parsley and Worcestershire sauce to a bowl and stir to combine.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to let the flavours develop.

Frugal Recipe for lunch

LUNCHBOX RESCUE: EASY, CHEAP AND HEALTHY DIY TRAIL MIX

TRAIL MIX INGREDIENTS

Pick and choose the ingredients that best suit your tastes, budget, what’s on sale and what you have on hand.

NUTS

Leave these out if your school has a nut-free policy. The healthiest nuts are raw and unsalted and without additives like oil or sugar.

Cashews

Almonds

Peanuts

Walnuts

Pistachios

macadamias

SEEDS

Pumpkin seeds

Sunflower seeds

Shredded Coconut

DRIED FRUIT

Sugar is concentrated in dried fruit, so a little goes a long way. Look for dried fruit with no added sugar.There are a whole variety of dried fruits available, here are just a few ideas:

Banana chips

Freeze dried berries

Sultanas

Diced dried apricots

Dried apple

Diced dried mango

Dried pineapple chunks

GRAINS

Whole grain Cereal / Muesli / Granola (I found quinoa flake cereal at half price – it’s a nice addition)

Pretzels

Small wholemeal crackers

Popcorn

Puffed rice

OPTIONAL HEALTHY EXTRAS

Some fun optional additions. Just add a little:

Soy Crisps

Vege Chips

Edamame

Dried peas

Cinnamon

Curry powder (for older kids and adults)

OPTIONAL SWEET-TREAT EXTRAS

Because the salty-sweet combo tastes amazing.

Dark Choc chips/carob buds/cocoa nibs (I found these cheap at Aldi)

Mini marshmallows

Yoghurt covered raisins

Depending on what you put in your trail mix, it also makes a nice yoghurt topper. In the picture below I used up the leftover bits (the kids devoured the banana chips and pretzels first) on plain yoghurt with some berries for extra deliciousness.

Frugal Recipe for Lunch

HOMEMADE CHEWY MUESLI BARS {GLUTEN, NUT AND DAIRY FREE}

Ingredients
For the muesli
3 cups of rolled oats*
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup coconut oil*
1/4 honey, maple syrup or rice bran syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
To make up the bars
4 Tbsp. coconut oil
scant 1/4 cup rapadura sugar*
1/4 cup honey, maple syrup or rice bran syrup*
1/4 cup sunflower seed butter*
2 cups of your toasted muesli
1 cup of puffed brown rice*
1/4 cup dark choc chips*

Method
For the toasted muesli

Preheat oven to 150°C.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the oil and honey. (No need to wash out the saucepan, use it again below).

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.

Pour melted honey and oil over dry ingredients and mix well to coat. Spread mixture over a baking sheet.

Cook for 40 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes and making sure it doesn’t burn.

To make up the muesli bars

Grease a 20x20cm square tin or lamington tray.

While the muesli is cooking, melt the oil, sugar, honey and sunflower seed paste in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 minute, stirring to make sure it doesn’t burn on the bottom.

Combine the toasted muesli and puffed rice in a bowl then pour in the sunflower seed mixture, stirring to combine.

Press firmly into greased tray. You can wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands as you press.

Sprinkle over choc chips, pressing them firmly into the mixture.

Cool completely before cutting into bars or squares. Store in a cool pantry or in the fridge.

BRUCETTA ZOODLES

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 zucchini, cut into spaghetti strips
1 small clove of garlic, crushed
1 tomato, diced
a few fresh basil leaves, torn or shredded
fresh Parmesan cheese to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

If you’re eating this raw, toss all the ingredients together (except the Parmesan). Top with Parmesan and serve.

If you’re cooking your noodles, heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and toss the zucchini noodles in the pan for a minute or two until cooked to your liking.

Remove from the heat and turn the heat down. Add the garlic and cook for about 10 seconds to take the rawness off – you don’t want to burn it.

Add the diced tomato, the cooked zucchini and basil and toss together for another few seconds before serving.

Top with Parmesan

Frugual Recipie for Breakfast

BURRITOS

Wholegrain wraps
Rocket or other salad
1 slice of shortcut bacon per wrap
1 mushroom, sliced per wrap
1 egg, scrambled with a little milk, per wrap
Tomato relish to taste
Butter for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS

In a hot pan, fry bacon on both sides until just about cooked.

Push the bacon aside or remove from the pan and fry the mushrooms in a little butter until cooked. Remove from pan.

Add a little extra butter if needed, and scramble eggs until just before they are totally cooked (still soft, not dry).

Assemble your wrap by placing a small handful of rocket in the middle of the wrap and top with bacon, mushrooms, egg and relish.

Wrap by turning up the bottom first, then folding over the sides.

HEALTHY WHOLEMEAL PANCAKES

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups of wholemeal flour (or flour of choice)
2 Tbsp. ground linseed / flaxseed (optional but it adds a bit of extra fibre and omega 3)
1 tsp. baking powder (not needed if you use self-raising flour)
1 Tbsp. plain yoghurt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg, beaten
enough milk to make a batter consistency (you can use a combo of milk and water for a cheaper version that’s just as good
butter for frying

METHOD

Sift the flour(s) and baking powder into a bowl and add yoghurt, vanilla and egg.

Mix then add a little milk at a time until you have a thick batter consistency.

If you have time, let the batter rest. The batter will thicken on resting – if needed, thin it out a little with some extra milk or water. (Better yet, make it the night before for a relaxed Sunday breakfast).

Melt a little butter in a frypan over medium heat.

Pour a ladle full of batter into the pan and flip when the surface has bubbled. Cook until browned on both sides. The law of pancakes states that the first pancake never turns out as well as the following ones.

APPLE AND CINNAMON OATMEAL

Ingredients
1/3 cup rolled oats
2/3 + 1/6 cup water
2 – 3 Tbsp pureed apple
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt
