Posted by Gary

Normally I buy Chicken Maryland pieces but this week I have gone with chicken wings. I was thinking soy honey but ended up with maple quinoa. I hope you like this quinoa recipe.

As is my want at the moment I cooked the quinoa in the baking tray to soak up the chicken juices as the chicken cooks. This quinoa recipe is so easy, it cooks itself.

Wagyu beef and cheese burger with avocado

Posted by Gary

It doesn’t have to be Wagyu beef, but any beef and cheese burger will be a good meal. 

Rather than cooking the burger in a frying pan and adding extra oil and making a mess of my stove, I prefer to cook my burger pattie in my small easy to clean benchtop oven. This pattie just took 20 minutes at 200 °C.

Before I went on my driving holiday (aka vanilla slice crawl) I shared a number of posts based on some sheets of puff pastry I bought. Check out the links below 🙂

So what’s long thick and tasty? 

After cooking the pork sausage and bacon roll last night I still had some puff pastry left over. 

I also had some bacon, avocado and tasty Coon cheese. The rest is history 🙂
