jazzed up cheese on toast (can be GF)

i was reminded this morning of this breakfast dish i used to make as a teenager, it's just a bit differet and very delicious! you can of course have it for any meal of the day, not just breakfast, and it's easy to make gluten free just by making sure all ingredients are GF :)

2 pieces toast of whatever kind suits you - wholegrain, sourdough, gluten free etc
1 tomato, sliced as thick as suits you, into enough slices to cover both pieces of toast
grated cheese to your taste
around 1/2 - 1 tspn mustard - i prefer seeded mustard, especially honey seeded, mmmm but dijon or american is also good
optional - 1/2 - 1 tspn butter
1 rasher of bacon, or 1-2 shortcuts of bacon, sliced into strips

place tomato on toast.

mix together cheese and mustard and butter if using and spread over tomato

top with bacon and grill until cheese is melted through and bacon is starting to crisp

yum!

Roasted Pumpkin & Spinach Salad (GF)

Made this for last night. I knew what i wanted to put in the dressing but felt like i was missing the magic ingredient. when i googled I found a recipe that was virtually identical to what i'd already done! so i knew i was on the right track ;)
by the way the 'magic' ingredient was seeded mustard lol

amounts are to your taste...

pumkin, cubed (peeling optional)
baby spinach
pepitas (pumpkin seeds), lightly toasted*
feta
red onion, finely sliced (i forgot this even though i'd bought the onions specially! but it would be goooooood)

dressing:
honey
olive oil
lemon juice
seeded mustard
salt
pepper
(some dill would be lovely too, if you like it)

mix dressing, pour over salad and toss. yum!

* i toast over a low - medium heat in a small pan

Sloppy Joes...

In Australia a sloppy joe is a sweatshirt. In America it is a yummy messy food that kids and adults alike enjoy.

Elise on Simply Recipes just posted a recipe for sloppy joes which i went on to my mum as a suggestion for Thursday night dinners (my sister and nephew eat there every thursday. we only go every month or two but it makes it a bit more complex trying to find something everyone will eat!). as we were chatting i remembered that i had a different version that was served with wedges and sour cream that was really yummy and went in search of it. It's originally from an Australian Women's Weekly cookbook.

potato wedges with sloppy joe topping
4 medium potatoes (or a packet of frozen wedges)
2 tabs olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 large brown onion, chopped finely
1 small green capsicum, chopped finely
1 trimmed celery stick, chopped finely (i usually add more as it gets wasted otherwise!)
150g beef mince
2 tabs mild american mustard
2 tabs cider vinegar
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese
2 green onions, sliced thinly

1. preheat oven to hot
2. cut each potatoes in 8 wedges, place in shallow baking dish, drizzled with half of the oil
3. roast, uncovered, in hot oven 30 mins or until tender
4. meanwhile, heat remaining oil in fryin gpan; cook garlic, onion, capsicum and celcery, stirring, until vegies soften. add mince, cook, stirring, until changed in colour. stir in mustard, vinegar and sauce, bring to a boil. reduce heat, cook, stirring, until sloppy joe is cooked through and slightly thickened.
5. serve wedges topped with sloppy joe mix, top with cheese and green onion.

when i do it in the slow cooker i fry the mince and onion ** and then put it all in the slow cooker to cook. takes 2-4 hours.

** when i'm organised i will fry up several kilos of mince and chopped onions and freeze into 500g portions, great for quick meals
