Mine is equal measures of buttermilk and mayo, and then double of Greek yogurt, half the juice of one lemon, two tbsp of dried Parmesan, a teaspoon of dill, garlic granules, Maldon seat salt, onion powder, and cracked black pepper.

Makes that amazing ranch dressing you get on the side of fried shit in America and is great for pizza crusts but you can also make kids eat ANYTHING dipped in it.

I’ve watched my kids enthusiastically eat celery, radishes and green peppers which aren’t normally things they will eat raw.

I serve with ‘cheesy wraps’ which are wraps done in a dry pan with cheese between until it melts. Yet to find a child who won’t eat it!

Sweat off some onion, garlic (purée fine) and a chopped carrot or two in some olive oil.
Add a ton or tomatoes (or passata) and the same of water.
Add salt, sugar, oregano or whatever herb you like with tomatoes.
Simmer until carrot done.
Add a tin or spaghetti or spaghetti hoops in tom sauce. Summer for another 5-10 mins.
Blend. Add some water / milk /cream if too thick or you fancy a creamier soup.

My secret brownie recipe is the one in Delia Smith's big book (she's wearing a red jumper on the front of mine).

I leave out the 4oz chopped nuts & replace with 4oz chopped milk chocolate.

The idea came from making them for DS to take into school & I knew one of his friends was allergic to nuts.

Absolutely delicious!

Guarding so called "secret" recipes has always struck me a extremely selfish.

@steppemum

well, my friend has just given me her family's secret brownie recipe.

They are AMAZING, and a whole tin just gets inhaled by my kids.

But I've promised to guard it with my life and not tell.....

Bet it's not as nice as my secret brownie recipe 😂

This is a great thread.

Sultanas packed into jars, with leftover brandy or rum poured in to cover them. Store for a few months. Serve with ice cream , a tablespoon at a time.

ByeByeMissAmericanPie · 26/01/2021 23:19

Yum!

PussGirl · 26/01/2021 16:12

Gonkytonk yes, it was lovely, thanks!
It's definitely going in the regular rotation Smile

Gonkytonk · 07/01/2021 16:58

@ByeByeMissAmericanPie it’s pretty versatile... I love it on a Sunday dinner with gravy... but my fave is a slice of it cold from the fridge but I’m a bit of a heathen Grin

@squishee hope you enjoyed it. It’s lovely knowing it’s out there Grin

Another one back to thank BlueFringe after making Tina's stuffing recipe Smile

ByeByeMissAmericanPie · 07/01/2021 07:40

Recipe now in my recipe file... forever!
I also made some into a meat loaf which is great with a tomato sauce.

@ByeByeMissAmericanPie ahhh thank you you’ve made my day! So glad you liked it and I’m extremely happy that her legacy lives on Grin

Thought I'd share MILs Brandy Sauce recipe; we normally make brandy butter for the pud but didn't get round to it! A tin of custard, a pot of Elmlea double cream, and a good slug of brandy. Put all ingredients into a large jug or bowl and mix with a fork - voila! You usually have to blend cornflower with milk, etc ( not sure of the exact recipe'. It was delicious and kept well in the fridge for well over a week. Obviously real cream would be even better but MIL likes ElmleaSmile

@Pepperwand

Bean dip which is just two tins of refried beans, one tub of cream cheese, one tub of sour cream and some taco/fajita seasoning. Mix together, cover with grated cheese and bake until it's bubbling. Use it warm as a dip for tortilla chips and try not to have a heart attack after eating it Wink.
I've been thinking about this since I read it months ago. In the oven now...
