no bake rolo slice

Here's a quick and easy slice that keeps 

well but doesn't last long once

they know what it tastes like!

One 200g block rolo chocolate

A tube of 200g condensed milk

250g pkt plain biscuits crushed

1/4 cup coconut

1/4 cup butter

150g extra plain chocolate 

and 2tbsp copha for icing

Gently melt the butter and condensed milk.

Break the rolo chocolate into pieces 

and add to the butter and milk.

Stir over low heat until smooth.

Add to crushed biscuits and coconut

and mix very well.

Press into a slice pan and refrigerate.

Melt the extra chocolate and copha

and pour over cooled slice.

Pop it into the back of the fridge 

to hide it until it has set.

This slice is rich but lovely with a cuppa!

confetti salad

One of my favourite dishes to take to parties

over the summer is rice salad.

It is so quick and easy not to mention delicious!

It's a great way to use up salad vegetables and everyone loves it!

It is also very colourful so I may just call it

Confetti Salad!

You will need -

One packet of Tilda brown basmati rice and quinoa.

You may of course use your own brown rice but this stuff is amazing!

Follow the directions on the packet.

While the rice is cooling chop your vegetables.

I use cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shredded rocket or spinach

and grated carrot.

When the rice has cooled throw in the vegetables and

a handful of sultanas and a some pinenuts or flaked almonds.

A small can of sweet corn adds more colour.

Now in a cup add a tablespoon of olive oil,

a teaspoon of minced garlic and about a 1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce.

Mix your dressing through your rice salad.

This is ready to eat straight away but it's even nicer 

if you can sit it in the fridge for a bit so the dressing

soaks into everything.

Don't worry though all the crunchy bits stay crunchy!

Just in case you were wondering no this is not
