Cincinnati Style Chilli

Cincinnati Style Chilli Recipe Serves 4
Hi everyone, Mark here. Alicia and I love spicy food and I love to make chilli (or chili if you’re American, don’t worry, I wont hold it against you, but you are wrong. Just kidding. Kinda). So, while browsing recipes for a different chilli, I came across something that looked like spaghetti bolognese. When I looked at the recipe, I decided to give it a go. I still remember the first time we made this and it was blow your head off hot! This was when we discovered that apparently American chilli powder actually contains other spices in it so it’s actually not as hot as the rest of the world’s chilli powder which is made out of only dried chilli’s. So if you’re from America and are reading this recipe and thinking “pfft 3tsp of chilli powder?” this is for Australian chilli powder (or other countries whose chilli powder is pure chilli’s) which is 8 times hotter than your chilli powder .

Monkey Bread

Monkey Bread Serves: 8-12

On my Facebook page, I asked my followers what they’d like to see or know how to do and one of them suggested Monkey Bread. After putting it to a vote, Monkey bread was the winner! You may ask “what is monkey bread?” to put it simply, it’s a sweet bread dough, rolled into balls, coated in cinnamon sugar and baked in a bundt pan for an easy family sharing breakfast!

Easiest English Muffins

Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta Bake

Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta Bake Serves Approx 8

Hi all, Mark here. When Alicia asked me what to do with our leftover roast chicken, I decided to take a look online. I found a slow cooker/crockpot recipe that caught my eye but it didn’t quite suit what we wanted. So, after tweaking it enough that I’m not just stealing someone else’s recipe, I came up with something that may well become a family favourite for us.

Homemade Sausage Rolls

Makes approximately 12 small homemade sausage rolls or 4 large homemade sausage rolls

There’s nothing quite like homemade sausage rolls. Especially if you make your own pastry to go along with it! It’s such a great way of using up ingredients you have in your cupboards and your fridge.

Homemade Apple Pie

Makes approximately 1 large pie or 8-10 mini apple pies
It never occurred to me that I had actually never made a homemade apple pie before! So I spent a bit of time doing some recipe research and then I ended up creating this beautiful recipe!

Moist Banana Muffin Recipe

Makes 12 Muffins

We always tend to buy too many bananas am I right? They either don’t get eaten and just sit in the fruit bowl going brown or just go brown way too quickly. With this muffin recipe, I’ve tweaked it so that you can use everyday ingredients you have stocked in your cupboards or fridges so that you can use up those ripe bananas.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Makes approximately 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate comfort cookie in my opinion. They’re chewy, sweet and chocolatey and you should always have one with a glass of milk or served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Mini Meatloaves

Makes 4 Mini Meatloaves

Meatloaf is such a classic family dinner that most of us have grown up eating. Why not change it up a bit and give everyone their own mini meatloaf? Adding moistened bread to these mini meatloaves ensures they stay juicy and oh so tender!
