Sausage, Pepper, and Rice Skillet
M&M Blonde Brownies
A lovely blondie recipe with a rich caramel flavour from the brown sugar.
Directions:
Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. Sift together the salt, baking powder, and flour. Slowly beat into the butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup of the M&Ms by hand.
Spread the batter in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the extra 1/2 cup M&Ms. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 23 minutes. Do not overcook as you will loose from the beautiful fudginess of the blondies. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in a sealed container.

Stuffed Peppers
Maltese style tuna-stuffed peppers.
Ingredients:
Serves 2
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Boil egg and peel tomatoes. Dipping them in boiling water for a few seconds helps. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except, of course, the peppers.
De-seed the peppers by removing a slice from the top. If they are too wobbly you can steady them by removing a small slice from the bottom as well. Set them in a baking dish and divide the mixture between the four peppers. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are softened and filling is browned.
Serve with boiled potatoes and Maltese bread, if available.
Ingredients:
Serves 2
- 4 peppers (any colour)
- 1 can tuna
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 3 tbsp capers
- 4 tbsp olives, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- parsley, chopped
- 1 egg, hardboiled
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 packet crushed Gallett or water biscuits (optional)

Panko Chicken Burgers with Honey Mustard Sauce
Delicious burgers, with none of the guilt :D
Ingredients:
Serves 4
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Grease a baking tray and set aside. Fillet the chicken breasts into halves.
Mix the spices with the flour. I added a pinch of salt, pepper and chilli powder, and about 1/4th of a tbsp each of oregano, paprika and chicken seasoning. In another bowl pour the panko breadcrumbs and in a third bowl lightly beat the egg.
Dip each fillet into the flour mix, then into the egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, and place on the greased baking tray. Spray lightly with oil and place in the oven for about 10 minutes each side. Don't forget to spray the second side with oil as well.
While the burgers are baking, prepare the honey mustard sauce. Mix the mayonaise, mustard and honey together.
Serve the burger with a side salad.
Ingredients:
Serves 4
- 2 chicken breasts

Blueberry Muffins
A low fat but very tasty version :)
Ingredients:
Makes 12 muffins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Use vegetable oil spray to grease 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
Mix 1/4 cup of the flour with the blueberries. Set aside. Beat egg and 1 tablespoon oil lightly in bowl. Stir in milk and melted margarine or oil.
In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Sift dry ingredient mixture over egg white mixture. Stir just long enough to moisten flour. The batter will look lumpy. DO NOT OVERMIX. Fold in blueberries.
Fill each tin two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle tops with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
