Ridiculously simple recipes that never fail.

Yes, callistmon that’s a better idea. I have downloaded now.

Simple favorite in Southwest USA: Burrito Bowl, Individual Size.
Cook a pot of rice.
Heat desired amount of black beans in separate pan.
For each individual serving bowl, layer cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheddar, then additional toppings (chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, sliced avocado, chopped bell peppers etc.)
Alone or combo over all, as desired: drizzle of olive oil, red or green salsa, cotija dressing (cilantro), dab of sour cream

I've never done it before but it worked!

Now, what to make first

'Nice' cream

Slice a couple of bananas (don't need to be fresh, can be very overripe as long as they're not brown!).
Open freeze them.
Once frozen, whizz them up in a food processor, adding a little milk if they're too stiff.
Eat immediately, or return to the freezer for later.

Variation:
Add other frozen fruit - a particular favourite is frozen raspberries, but you can use any frozen fruit - even frozen tinned fruit (in fruit juice) will work.

A healthy substitute for ice-cream!

Callistemon fork biscuits recipe was my first domestic science lesson 1969. Been making them ever since

I only found the recipe about a month ago May7 and have made them twice but they disappeared too quickly!

Haven't a clue how to download it!

Can someone please help with this? How do we download a whole thread?

I'm on a tablet so I can only tell you what I do on this device.
At the end of the title bar, ie where it says gransnet.com/forums/food etc is a star then a downwards arrow.
If I click on the ☆ it is saved to favourites, if I click on the downwards arrow ⬇️ it downloads it.
(arrow is black btw)

How do we download a whole thread?

I've only just tried this but it may only download the one page you're on, not the whole thread.

That's how I did it too Callistemon. It downloaded the whole thread but then I realised that it won't update as the thread gets more posts added, so I'll just keep on downloading every so often

It helps, too, if you customise the thread so you get 100 posts on a page (Customise at the top of the thread)

Thanks Callistemon. I think maybe saving the link is better as it is updated.

Ah, I've just looked but I don't have the downward arrow, either on my laptop or on the mobile site on my phone. Will have to check my iPad!

My really lazy, CBA-to-cook one, is a tin of tuna, drained and flaked, mixed with a tin of condensed mushroom soup (undiluted), heated through and mixed with cooked pasta. Served with frozen peas.
Exceedingly tasty.

Callistemon ‘Australian boiled cake’, without the ‘Australian’ tag has been a staple in my family for 3 generations now. Love it, vary it with ingredients at hand such as different fruit, nuts, sugars, flours. I’ve got a version I took from a Playschool’ (UK tv) annual as Flo’s fruit cake (Floella Benjamin).

It goes with the family saying that there’s no such thing as failed cake - just put some custard on it…

Fabulous ideas - thanks to everyone! Recently my idea of a good recipe is that it has no more than, say, ten lines...

@nanna8 would that be single ot double cream

I use what they call thickened cream here but it probably works with others. Not sure about the really thin pouring cream, haven’t tried that.

*Nanna8*, I too would like to know if the lemonade is fizzy or flat, thanks

Fizzy, just cheap stuff. I tried them with diet lemonade and it worked fine.

I make that fruitcake one Callistemon. Also this one
Process a whole orange in food processor ( I take pips out but you don’t have to)
Put in bowl and add 3 eggs, I cup sugar, 1.5 cups SR flour . Mix up and put in greased baking tin. Cook 180 C or 160 C fan forcedabout 40 minutes. It is yummy.

I must try that one, it sounds easy and very good.

I made Sussex Pond pudding years ago - a bit more trouble and it's steamed for ages but delicious (and full of calories!). You could probably make it in a slow cooker.
