Tipsy Tarts Deli

Perfect for feeding the masses and one can make them ahead; eat it with you hands and not a single dish or pan or utensil to be washed. These bread rolls are baked wrapped in foil. The only kitchen equipment you’ll use is a knife to cut the top off the rolls. Cut the top of the roll off and scoop out the middle to create a hollow. Line the hollow with bacon. Make sure the bread bowls are properly lined with bacon (free range please) to stop the egg from leaking through the bread.  Crack an egg (free range) and pour into hollow. Top with grated Cheddar cheese or Mozzarella - I refer Mozzarella. Put the top back on and wrap with foil, then leave them in the fridge until you need them.  Pop them in the oven ... et voila! A great way to use stale or not-so-fresh bread rolls. It’s also great for on the go!  Great food for camping trips - Just place them on the edge of the fire near (not on) hot coals. The foil traps the heat well and it will cook in no time!

Here is a simple supper for when you fancy something fresh and delicious but you don't have much time on your hands. One can use any firm fleshed white/line fish. The poached egg lends richness, resulting in a healthy dish with a touch of luxury. Pan Fried Vietnamese River Cobbler with a Poached Egg Serves 2 Ingredients 2 skinless river cobbler fillets 2 large eggs 2 tbsp flour salt and pepper olive oil a salad of your choice - we used lamb's lettuce, spinach, peppers, spring onions, cucumber and tomatoes - a simple green salad would work well too Method 1. First boil a kettle. Next, on a plate, mix together the flour with some salt and pepper. Lay the fish fillets on the plate and thoroughly coat them in this mixture, shake off the excess and set aside. 2. Put a large non-stick frying pan on to heat with a little olive oil. Pour water from the kettle into a medium-sized saucepan and put it on to heat, ready to poach the eggs. 3. Poach the eggs for 3 minutes for a soft a

Biltong is South African dried meat. The word comes from Dutch with BIL meaning buttock and TONG meaning strip. Biltong is really good. Do not even think of comparing biltong to "beef jerky". Biltong is a delicacy that many South Africans love to eat. Method  Wash the meat. Cut 1 Kg of Silverside or Topside meat at an angle with the grain into about one inch strips. Sprinkle vinegar over the meat Place 1/2 cup whole coriander in a bag and lightly crush the whole coriander so that the effect of the coriander will be greater. Make the "biltong mix" by combining 1 level course or salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Dip the meat into the "biltong mix" until all the mix is used up. Place the meat in a tray for a few hours, or over night, in the fridge. After a few hours dump any blood that has seeped out of the meat. Dip the biltong quickly into a water/vinegar mixture to remove surface salt. Hang the biltong by making a very s

PECAN PIE Ingredients Pre-made Short-crust pastry 4 Tbls butter 3 large Eggs, Slightly Beaten 1 Cup maple syrup 1/2 Cup granulated Sugar (dark brown for baking) 2 Tablespoons Flour 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1 Teaspoon Vanilla 160g Broken pecans Preheat oven to 200 deg C Bake the crust first at 200 deg C for 10 mins. To stop the crust from fluffing up and rising, line with some foil and weight it down or you can just pop holes in it with a fork. Remember to turn oven down again to 135 deg C or if you're not experienced with pie shells don't bother with this step. Melt butter and mix remaining ingredients - blend really well (use electric beater if you have). Fold in pecans and pour into shell. Slow bake it at the low temp of 135 deg C to ensure even baking for 60 mins. Serve after fully cooled. I like to refridgerate it a bit after it has cooled.

As you age, you slowly lose both muscle mass and bone mass. It's important to have more muscle mass than fat mass in your body, as it can burn more calories at rest than and when active. Eat more high-quality proteins. Consuming lean sources of protein will help you preserve our metabolically active muscle mass, thus helping us maintain a flatter stomach. High-quality protein choices are seafood like salmon, tuna, or chicken breast, eggs, and plant-based sources of protein are beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Eat high-fiber cereal Women and men over 50 should aim to get 21 grams and 30 grams of fiber per day. High-fiber cereal makes a major deposit in your fiber bank while also adding a variety of other vitamins and minerals. You can pair your cereal with a plant milk and yoghurt. Be sure drink water with it to help make it become more of a 'moving' experience. Consume more seafood Fish is a high-quality source of protein and a complete source of protein. Salmon is lean hi
