Clafoutis cheekyricho

These cherries were just placed randomly in the bottom of the pie dish and somehow have arranged themselves in rows. I have OCD cherries, I knew they tasted great but I didn't realise they were all binary too. You better check this recipe out this week too.

Roast Turkey with all the trimmings

Richo doesn't like Cranberry Jelly or sauce, he thinks its too sweet. So I decided to make some home made cranberry jelly and wind back the sugar meter. Last time I saw it he was hunched over it, guarding it with his fork! Apparently it's exactly what he has been waiting for.  The recipe is coming your way this week on our cheekyricho channel.  There will also be some Turkey leftover recipes, this bird was 5.8kg. I've seen smaller emus ;-)) tried out my new basting syringe with some toasted home grown sage butter. Moist, tender delicious result, well work the few dollars I paid for it. I can see myself using it quite a bit.

How to make GHOUL STONES

How to Make Ghoul Stones

You thought they were made in the Bile Duct didn't you?

Well we discovered them in the cheekyricho kitchen after a recent Centauroscopy.

They are clinically disgusting looking but they sure taste great. Sticky, sweet, crunchy and techno colourful. We had a lot of fun making them. The kitchen will never be the same again, there arent many surfaces that didnt end up contaminated by Ghouls Guts.

Hazmat suit recommended. We hope you give them a try and check out our fun video on cheekyricho youtube. http://youtu.be/AOiIcqrdjfM

Look like they came out of a slimy aliens belly don't they? Have a peek. You'd be a ghoul not to…..

Creamed Rice Pudding Pear Layer Dessert

This is a great after school snack. A sweet old fashioned favourite that is cheap, simple and quick to make. Both fillings made in the Thermochef, no stir recipes & you don't have to even peel the pears. Laziness has just slid up another level. Check it out on our cheekyricho YouTube channel.

Crannie Cream Cocktail

We just invented this amazing refreshing creamy cocktail. We used frozen cranberries. It's hot here today, we were debating weather to have a yummy frozen cocktail or a swim. It was a tie! We had both. I wish all decisions were so simple. Recipe to follow this week on our cheekyricho YouTube channel.

Lean Kransky camp burgers

On the banks of the Pindari Dam we enjoyed another camp lunch with some local wine.

Brain Cakes complete with secret Bloodclot.

We bought this Silicone Secret Cupcake Pan from a Crazy Shop for about $8. The instructions were very 'relaxed' in detail. We thought it had potential for our cheekyricho kitchen videos and decided to make Brain Cakes with Secret Blood Clots for a Halloween Recipe. It worked very well. the cakes looked cute and tasted great at the same time. You know what a fan I am of silicone as a cooking aid so there was no missing out on giving this new idea a try. They were really easy to make and decorate. They looked very effective and were just another simple addition to our Halloween Recipe Playlist on our cheekyricho Youtube channel. Why not check it out for yourself.

Just the first of a number of recipes made using Gaye Moynes Organic Cherries from her Cherry Orchard near Inverell New South Wales. She took us on a tour of her Orchard, where she grows all manner of stone fruits, English Acorns, Walnuts, Mulberries. She proudly announced her cherries were the first ones to be picked this season. The flavour and tender juiciness of her cherries are beyond description. If you happen along the Copeton Dam Road do call in and say Hi. The lady has won umpteen awards for her excellent garden produce, she is a passionate producer of quality wines, fruits,  and vegetables.

Cherry Orchard. Today we visited an Organic orchard between Copeton Dam and Inverell. The sweetest juiciest cherries were being picked by the owner Gaye Moyne. She took us on a tour of her orchard and Tilly had a einderful game with Charlie the farm dog. We bought some cherries and I spent the next 50 kilometres planning recipes to use these delicious little fruit. There are a lot less than we started with and already I'm wishing we bought more. They are do tender and Gaye informs us they are the first new cherries to be picked on the entire east coast. Needless to say Tilly slept like a log. Did you know the bird netting over trees makes a great doggie trampoline when you smash into it full bore during the Charlie race game.

Boundary Falls, a fairly steep walk down into the falls where the sounds of birds and falling water, running creek away from the rock waterhole and the musty earthy smells of the moss, damp soil and spring blossoms greeted you. The air is cooler, moister and fresher at the basin below the falls. Maybe it just seemed more oxygenated or was it because we were breathing heavier from the physical exertion just to get there. Either way the night brought the soundest sleep and a few stiff muscles to remind us of the energy spent in the forest.

Green Eggs & Ham Cheekyricho youtube recipe.

If You are having trouble getting the little guys to eat vegetables. Make it Fun, Make it interesting and get them involved. Our cheekyricho youtube channel has uploaded this Dr Seuss classic breakfast. You cant taste the spinach, its low in fat, high in iron, protein and vitamins. Looks Funky and if you make a game of it they are sure to be more interested. Too Old or too cool for Dr Seuss, no worries. A Pope Eye Omelette or Zombie Blood Sandwich will fit the generations. Lets face it they aren't going to do a DNA test on it. Its a great way to use vegetables that are normally taboo from their plates. Introduces them to the idea of healthy food being fun and believe it or not tastes really good. I have definitely put nicer looking things in my mouth but then I do like to eat and this is just a family fun idea we thought might help with those fussy eaters out there. We hope you give it a try.
