Seedy Nutty Herby Crackers

A tasty homemade cracker that is perfect with dips or enjoyed on a cheeseboard with various cheeses, chutney, meat slices and fruit.

Parmesan can be added for a great tangy flavour. Various flavoured sea salt flakes can be added for seasoning, I used sea salt flakes with chilli and herbs.

Get the kids involved in making these, Cerys enjoyed eating what she had created.

1/2 cup natural almonds

1 cup seed mix with pine nuts

2 tbsp chia seeds

30 g Parmesan, grated (optional)

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

3 tbsp olive oil

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 tsp baking powder

sea salt to season

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie.

Corned Beef Stovies

Heat oil in a large deep pan over a medium heat until hot. Add onions and fry until golden. 3. Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4.
