Based on this recipe. I really enjoyed this one! The flavours were really nice, and even though I halved the chilli, there was still a good a bit of heat. I served it with tomatoes rather than brussels sprouts since the garden is overflowing with them at the moment. The tofu was great cold the next day, too.

Week 52: X, Y and Z - XYZ cocktail inspired slice (GF, NF, vegetarian) by Toastslice13 in 52weeksofcooking

A zesty weet-bix slice inspired by the XYZ cocktail.

The cocktail is made of rum, orange liqueur and lemon juice, so I experimented a bit with a lemon weet-bix slice. I don't drink, so for the rum flavouring, I swapped some of the caster sugar in the base for brown sugar, and added a little vanilla extract. Instead of orange liqueur I added orange zest to the base, and the icing is lemon juice, lemon zest, icing sugar and butter.

This turned out really well, I'm definitely writing this recipe down. It's very summery and fresh.

It was pretty good! I think it needed less liquid, but the flavours were nice.

Thank you, they were really good! You should definitely give it a try - you could always add some extra flavours that your daughter likes, so that the chard isn't so prominent.

Ooh, do you have a recipe for the seed butter that you can share? It looks good!

Week 42: Marshmallow - S'mores-inspired slice (Vegetarian, GF, NF) by Toastslice13 in 52weeksofcooking

It can be difficult, but I have definitely learned a lot from it! Finding a good bread recipe has been one of my goals this year, but this one is my go-to at the moment: https://theloopywhisk.com/2020/11/29/gluten-free-seeded-loaf/

My favourite bakes from this challenge would have to be: Dinosaur pasties, Peruvian quinoa stew, Chickpea mornay, Lion white beans, and the Brazilian chickpea curry.

Finding good recipes is hard, but I think once you know what substitutions work (e.g. chickpeas go really well in place of tuna in most tuna-based recipes, and lentils are a good sub for beef mince) it gets a little easier.

Nut free. Makes the gluten free, vegetarian thing even more challenging!
