I usually make a couple of loaves of Chookie's No Fuss recipe a week. It is our everyday bread. The only change I make it using 50-70g of whole meal spelt flour and then making it up to the 520g with Bakers' flour.

 Isi's Pasta in the Oven is one of the forums recipes that is quick and easy to prepare.Made it tonight with odds and ends found in the fridge and freezer.

If anyone would like some SD starter, to have a go for the Challenge,    I could post some.  This time of the year it should survive 4 days in the mail.   I post on a Monday so it doesn't sit in the PO over the weekend.  Just PM me with postal name and address.

I made Chookies chocolate delight last week when Trudy and Wayne stayed.
Trudy had never had it before and they loved it.

Here is the recipe http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2356.0

It's a keeper!

This is Chookie's chicken meatloaf. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=14784.0

I changed the glaze slightly to the ingredients I had on hand. It smells delicious. Can't wait for dinner tonight.

Lucky you getting some wheat Hally. I have to buy mine now. My Dad would turn in his grave if he knew.  :'(

CC I love the pasta and Mich I'm sure the meatloaf was yum. I am now realising that there are many of Chookie's recipes I haven't made. I have concentrated on the bread.
I have the SD starter out to freshen up and I'll do a couple of loaves there.

Great recipes girls.
 
I just whipped up Chookie's Welsh Rarebit for lunch. Made 1/2 the recipe and spread it over 2 pieces semi frozen wholemeal bread.  Cooked in a preheated 200o air fryer for 4 minutes with no need to toast the underside first.  Enough left over for 1 more slice of bread, will try 180o next time to compare results.

Nice recipe Chookie.

For lunch had Isi's pasta and my 2 second salad.  Made Judy's small mushroom and Caramalised onion tarts to freeze.  The meat eater didn't realise that he had an almost meatless lunch. ;D also baked lemon tea biscuits  from a roll in the freezer. Photos to follow.

My GD made that pasta bake some years back girls, it's a little beauty. A good one just after Christmas too.

I was out all morning, home for a couple of hours then out again until 5 pm.  I've made 4 of Chookie's recipes in the time I've been home and still managed to sit down with my evening meal to watch the 6 pm news. That's how easy the following early recipes of Chookie were.  The Welsh Rarebit was posted in a separate posting earlier.

Sweet Chilli Salmon served with Pumpkin Spiced Rice

For tomorrow Creamy Crab Soup

Thanks Chookie, enjoyed them all.

Great cooking everyone! What an excellent challenge choice.

I made Chookie's Lemon Chicken and combined the cooking with Bron's Garlic Rice. It was so super delicious. I made a note of exactly what I did under the Lemon Chicken thread: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12690.0  So that I can remember what I did for next time :)

Here's a photo (also included in the lemon chicken thread :)
