10 second dip

With school going back, tummies are bound to be getting hungry! So I thought I'd share my families absolutely favourite dip!

How fast can you -rip-pour-scoop-stir?? That is the question!!
I've called it 10 second dip- but I'll just put a little disclaimer out there- it may take you a little longer - it may not even take you that long. I just thought '10 Second Dip' sounded better than just 'Dip'

But it really is that simple. 

All you need is # one pack of the really cheap French onion instant soup mix, (I find the cheaper one tastes better- but I'll leave it up to you.)
# a small carton of sour cream (you can use a big one- the finished flavour just isn't as strong)
# a container
# a spoon or fork
 

 

So are you ready for the instructions? Here we go-

*RIP* it open and *POUR* it in your container. 

Next open your sour cream and *SCOOP* that in your container. 

*MIX* it up. 

Voila!!!

You can eat it instantly or leave it in the fridge a bit to set. 

My kids love this for afternoon tea. In fact it is so simple - they do it themselves! 

Enjoy! 

Easy Peasey Icecream

This is the most easiest Ice cream recipe EVER!! And so, so yummy! And you don't even need an ice cream maker!!

Here's the recipe :

Ingredients
375ml condensed milk
300ml cream
1 cup milk
6 crushed Oreo biscuits**

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Mix with electric beaters until mixture starts to bubble.
Place covered in freezer for about an hour.
Mix again with electric beaters for a few moments.
Continue to freeze over night or until set.

** change flavour of ice cream by replacing Oreo biscuits with :
Berries
Choc bits
Nuts
2 tsp espresso coffee
Crushed 'Crunchy' chocolate bar

This ice cream is very sweet so I like to put them in a silicon muffin mould after mixing for the second time. It's a good way to control everyones portions too! ( and helps to make it last a bit longer!)

Cookies!

Baking time again!
This time it is my all time favourite cookie recipe! I just love this one - it is so easy and so versatile! But there is one problem with it..... it is not one bit healthy.... but nevertheless - absolutely delicious!

 

 

Recipe:

 

180g softened butter

100g caster sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla essence

200g plain flour

50g self raising flour

 

Combine butter, sugar, vanilla and egg, then add the flours. Mix with a wooden spoon until it forms a dough.

Roll out dough to be about 1cm thick.

Cut cookies and bake at 180 for 10-15 mins (leave longer for crunchier)

 

As I say this recipe is so versatile. These are some of my favourite extras to add to vary the recipe-

 

:: coconut and raisin

:: instant coffee (dissolve a sachet in 1 tsp hot water first then add)

:: cherry and choc chip (a good one for Christmas)

:: poppy seeds and orange juice
