This one is great if you have a party or going to a gathering.
It is a dip in a cob loaf not sure what its called
1 jar Best Foods real Mayonnaise
I 300ml Light sour cream
1 pkt Continental Spring Vegetable Simmer soup
1 pkt Chopped leaf spinach (find it in frozen section)
2 pkt Peckish Rice cracker Thins Sour cream n chive (can only buy from IGA Stores)
mixed all ingredients and serve with rice crackers. It is meant to be served with fresh bread, so you can do that aswell but us bandits will have to use crackers which are very light and thin.
The Spinach is optional
If you can't get a cob loaf just put in a bowl on a platter, enjoy, louise |

I made the Classic Soup and froze in small portions in preparation for the mushies stage. Naturally I had to have a taste test!!
Yummo... this comes very highly recommended. Thank you so much.

| If you like bananas, the best way to have them is in a blender with milk, youghurt and honey all mixed up. |

Hi Leanne there is a thread devoted to the mushie stage. I use to just bamix what we were having say roast dinner with extra gravy, chicken curry with extra sauce. You can make zuccini slice and shepherds pie. I now have a magic bullet and that is great for mushing up a meal.

Hi girls, I'm writing to you again since you helped me so much with the liquid stage. I'm about to enter the mushie stage and I dont like the sound of pureed meat with gravy. Does anyone have ideas or recipes for this stage?
Thanks again,
Leanne |

Hi guys, I got this recipe off the internet and thought I'd share. I adapted it to go into my slow cooker. It's so delicious and really, really easy to make. And it makes *a lot* so great for freezing up individual portions. It's also quite particular at making it as low-fat as possible which is great. Enjoy :)
Classic Chicken Soup
1 x 1.4kg chicken
2 large brown onions, finely chopped
2 cups loosely packed fresh continental parsley leaves
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
5 medium carrots, cut into 1cm pieces
2 medium tomatoes, halved
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups water
Rinse the inside of the chicken. Remove the tail and nexk and as much skin as possible.
Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low all day until the chicken is tender and comes away from the bones easily.
Remove from heat, cool, and place the soup in the fridge to chill overnight. Next day, remove the soup from the fridge and use a large metal spool to remove the layer of solidified fat that has risen to the surface overnight.
Remove the chicken from the sou[ and place in a large bowl. Use your fingers to remove the meat from the bones and shred into pieces. Discard the bones. Return the chicken meat to the soup.
Bring the soup to the boil over medium heat (or switch slow cooker back on) until the chicken and vegetables are heated through. Remove the soup from the heat and skim a piece of paper towel over the surface to absorb any excess fat.
Serve.
Can be served chunky as is, or blended up for the liquids/mushies stagers :) |

| Another thing to try is boiling up equal portions of potatoes and cauliflower in broth. Turns out delicious! |

I made up this salad and have become addicted to it.
1 skinless chicken fillet steamed in microwave and sliced up into small pieces
1 small can of chickpeas
1 small deli tub pitted kalamata olives
½ small deli tub fat free semi dried tomatoes (coles deli)
1 red chilli thinly sliced (optional)
½ Red onion sliced
1 yellow capsicum seeded and sliced
100g low fat fetta
Salt and pepper
Throw it all in a bowl, crumble fetta and add some salt and pepper. It’s lovely nurtricious, low fat and low cal. No dressing required and no lettuce to get stuck. Makes 3 bandit sized portions + 1 large portion. |

Storm i make one that can be varied many ways,
it is a layer of cream cheese spread on the plate , then i put a layer of spicy red sauce , then a layer of red salmon ( i use a med size tin) and finally a sprinkle of spring onions chopped finely.
You can alter this in any way using cream cheese as a base, replace salmon with tuna, crab, even those tiny prawns .
The sauce can be altered for salsa , bbq , etc.
One that is popular is the cream cheese , couple of spoons of chilli jam spread over then sprinkle chopped coriander.
Just put the knife with the dip and crackers/bread etc next to it and watch it v a n i s h.

Girls....... I need a "full fat" dip recipe!
I used to make a dip years ago and have forgotten how!
It is sour cream or cream cheese and mayo???? With crab meat on top and you squirt it with sweet chilli sauce. I used to make one with salmon or tuna too.
I can't remember what I used as the cream portion.... must have been sour cream and something as it was really soft and creamy!
Any help would be great. In the meantime I will Google! |
